Oh god where do I start xD. Merching the 1st 3 black dyes I found in pre when I first started, owning factions and NF for almost 2 years and never playing them cause I thought they were elite campaigns and didn't think I was good enough :/ merching by accident cause I was in a hurry countless gold and very rare items, paying a PuG to help me get rotscale's bow before we finished killing him and then not getting the bow drop for myself and watching helplessly as they took it and ran

Spending 3 hours as a lvl 10 trying to get to droks on -60 Dp the whole way with henchies (from beacons) only to give up 1 radar screen away from rankor, bringing my bonder hero into DD instead of my healer right after assuring everyone my monk was a good one, advertising shreaders talons for 10k <--- epic fail

When Sup Vigors were 100k, I was able to find one furing a mission (Gates Of Kryta) I think. I put it on my armor I just crafted from Lion's Arch. Later, I salvaged the armor when I needed Iron Ingots.

Changing my build when asked by the leader.

Every time they ask me to change my build, what they want is never as good as anything I can set myself. They I get the build I wanted without telling anyone and ding! I do wonders.

Lol fair enough, I feel your original post is perhaps the most honest one yet!
Who says pot is not dangerous, it made you sell 3 black dyes!

Doing Arachni's dungeon and at the end i wanted to make a epic screen with large number of spider enemies. So i hidden interface and accidentally clicked F12 instead PrtScr. I couldn't restore the intefrace, was thinking "wth!?" and mashing all keys on my keyboard. Finally I pushed enter. I logged out.

Other fail was scam in pre-searing. One guy used two accounts and was buying and selling same thing. I lose about 20k. In pre it's a pretty money.

when I first bought Guild Wars, I played for one day, and then I got to post-searing Ascalon, and I thought I had messed up on the Ascalon Academy, so I quit for two months.

Running HB in hall of heroes.

Got my patient dshot and my dwayna's kiss diversioned then my infuse shamed within about 3 minutes.

I also get rezzed after dying and got bullsed half a second later before getting spiked by both wars while my team was falling back (getting ganked).

If that ain't fail, I don't know what is.

Don't worry about it, 80% of the GW population says Silver Armor...

this happened yesterday:

Some of my alliance mates team up for the Eldritch Ettin zaishen quest in HM. I didn't have the dungeon in my HM book yet, and I can always use Z-coins, so I joined them. I am a warrior with drunken master (I always work on my drunken title), so I ran to the entrance for the team, which worked well, but then talked to the keystone, activating the mission, instead of the dungeon. We only found out after we finished the entire mission lol. Turns out you get the quest inside Gadd's. *doh*.
Did the dungeon after that anyway, so turned out OK. Felt pretty stupid though :P

Funny how non of your teammates noticed it was the wrong kind of foes and that Gadd and Livia was following you + you didn't need any dungeon keys. Not just your fail :P

My worst Epic Fail was in the UW. Never been there before and had joined a group that I don't think had ever been there either. We lasted maybe 30 seconds because someone agrroed everything before everyone had downloaded and I died almost immediately. I don't even think I got off a bow shot.

Now I only go down there with my guild mates as a HM trapper team. No more epic fails, but the first time is still fresh in my memory.

1 million ecto? I've been away from GW for quite a while....but I think you need to check your math. 1 million ecto equates to several billion gold.

1st one i can remember is buying wintersday gifts at "awesome price" of 3stacks for 100k.after i accepted i realised i bought 750 special presents (worthless quest items that share the skin with wintersday gifts"
well at least the person that scammed me got their ban (although a short one )

2.i was on 9,999 party pts on purpose for like 4months so i could do a title spike of legendary master of north+party+sweet tooth(i use sweets for bonuses so had about 9900 points at the moment).
Anyway last thing for my eotn title was vloxen.
I h/hed the thing and had in plan to use all sweets when zoldark was at around 10% health,but something went horribly wrong and he died when he was on like 25%. i was confused and took me like 15sec to find the last party item and like 2whole mins to use the 100 sweets i needed so it was 1 lousy title spike
at least i am on 29 titles now anyway ^^

I did the same thing when the Eldritch Ettin quest was first offered as a zquest, but the H/H didn't complain. And I hadn't yet done the quest in HM, so it wasn't a complete waste of time.

My biggest fail would probably be selling a cherished zodiac bow by accident. It was early in the morning and I was half-asleep. Not only did I select it to sell, but I clicked "Yes" when I was asked to confirm. *sob*

That's not you that's me! XD

And seriously I was pretty aware that I would get flamed. I made the thread to see how many felt like me, how many would troll/flame me and how many would suggest how I deal with it.

No fail there.
