selling anything expensive i bought before. I dont know wtf this is, but everytime i buy something more expensive (tormented, VS, eternal...), I end up selling it after few days and replacing with something cheap. I'd sell my chaos gloves and elite armors too if i could
And no, it isnt because of lack of money

I always press F after killing a group (or after making a trade, opening storage etc) to target myself. Dunno why, guess I have a big ego.

took a break from GW to play WoW for awhile (6months) and the coming back and complaining that they took out the space bar to jump and changed a few keys....... that was embarrassing

as for bad habits... hmmmm, I know that at times I can be a massive troll but only when someone is looking to argue about something

My worst GW habits tend to be me carrying the controls of another game into GW. All the time. For example i can be playing some TF2 and then go onto GW only to try and jump causing my character to run right into the enemy. I seem to do it all the time

I'll be running somebody and press it and pay too much attention to chat because I just HAVE to reply, and it gets me killed. That and spending too much money when I already owe somebody a few K.

Ummm... can't think of one. I'm still semi-newish to the game so haven't developed any real bad habits.

If anything I'm probably too nice but that's not a bad habit, it's just a personality trait that doesn't always click in a sometimes abusive environment that GW can be. Then again, my laid back attitude pulled a bunch of newbie lvl 13 and 14s through Vizunah Square mission yesterday. I told people just to do their best. Everyone was dying but we finished the mission with experts reward. I just wanted to cap Shadow Form, which I did.

Rethinking this, another bad habit is my laidback attitude? I think it may drive some people nuts. My kids sometimes rage at video games and it's just so unattractive and stupid. I tell them that if the game is making them that upset, they need to walk away for awhile.

Trinity of the ascended [SMS]+[Koss]+[TAM]=[ToA]

LOL..Feels like an intervention group meeting..oO

1.) My obsession for wallows, and all cute mini pets in general.
2.) C-spacing, when I REALLY should be T- spacing.
3.) Singing on vent, when the caller is trying to select targets.
4.) Saying: " I gotta-go-pee-BRB", Right before we enter a mission.
5.) Knowing which button to push, to set off my guildies into their own opinions in GC.
6.) Posting chit on GW Guru, when I could be enjoying a fajita.

Minimizing the game every three minutes, even when I'm doing a mission. Along with checking if anyone I haven't seen in a while is on my friend list by pressing "N" every two minutes.

* N G H-club.
* Selling every little thing from storage to get some gold when being close to buying something expensive, which leads to being broke for a long time, rinse and repeat :P
* Obsession for Tormented weapons
* Sell stuff cheap because 1) don't know prices most of the time 2) just want to get rid of stuff. This ends up in giving the item away for nothing pretty often too.
* R button says hi.
* Trying to be nice to everyone.
* Not doing my own things very often since i'm way too helpful.
* Using ':P' after almost everything i say :P.
* Spamming spacebar
* Spamming right mouse button while in battle...just to change the camera a little bit each time, without really having a reason...
Might think of some more later :P

1.N-G-H
2.Buying 15k armor out of impulse. It's amazing how I saved for fow.
3.Pushing B to see if theres any new gvgs to look at.
4.Procrastinating about vanquishing. I'll get to the outpost, load up my heroes, and stand there.
5.Being too fast to troll people.
6.Spacing out when doing a mission/vanquishing with somebody.
7.Selling stuff really really cheap because I just want to get rid of it.
8.Also the person below reminded me that I do the same thing, except every 15min.

I'm another N-G-H person.

Going AFK. I have no attention span at all. I'll be in the middle of doing something and suddenly get distracted. Doesn't help that I play windowed with Firefox and MSN open in the background. One of my characters has missed expert reward on a couple missions in Factions simply because a friend said something amusing to me that distracted me.

Getting bored while farming and looking for something/somewhere else to kill things.

Pulling up Firefox while waiting for a match to start in JQ. It's pretty much guaranteed that once I do that, I'll get in a game.

I hit the space bar waaaay too much. Also, for some reason, I always mouse-click my skills. Dunno why. My laptop keyboard is smaller than my desktop's keyboard so I can easily reach the number keys, I just...stopped using them.

And, of course, logging on, seeing if anyone is on, quitting, and then doing it over again 30 minutes later.

I spam 'N' like there's no tomorrow. I remember I PMed a friend so fast that it was before his guild announcements, lol.

Oh and I spam the target calling. I was once kicked from a PUG for doing that; It'll probably be worse when I create a mesmer.

I'm in the over pressed space crowd as well..
though its not my worst offense---that is

ima packrat, I keep almost all non-weapon non-armor drops....got mules with claws, shells, vines, legs, etc.....some of it will never ever be used (though thanks to nic them dumb gloom seeds finally had a purpose! )

and since ima packrat---I like to make characters to the point of having no spaces left to make any more----so I got another cheeeeeeapie factions account ($5 couldnt pass it up) and filled that up too-----all of them mules (except a rit who made it to kaineng)....

those are bad enough

Pressing N-G-H every 10sec, I'm glad I'm not alone with this habit.
Spamming the space bar.
Clicking the request quote button more than once when buying mats from trader.
Pressing the R button way too often.
Playing with windows calculator on when I'm trading (does that count?)

Deleting my characters out of frustration whenever I got stuck somewhere. Let's just I no longer have my main character, and I really don't feel like replaying all of the games again. So I definitely still regret that. As a result, I only PvP now.

Whenever I'm attacking I constantly tap the space bar, a habit born out of waiting for things to die and impatience. I also constantly tap M G and H keys

And I also stop and look at my character from the front angle on a regular basis even during missions and farming, very vain I know

Ctrl-spacing over and over again in PvE thinking the minions might finally hear me...

Forgetting that most rare materials can be crafted from stack of crap that I already have...

Saving really really crappy greens forever because they actually dropped for me...

Forgetting to display a title that actually gives me a significant advantage on a mission or area that I am in...

Hitting the up arrow to /resign and just repeating something that I had forgot I typed in guild chat...

I consistently turn my view of my characters to the angle which makes them look the best.

I also switch armors every five minutes or so because I get bored of them.

I broke two keyboards back when I GvG'd by consistently smashing my spacebar.

I don't usually click to move.

I click my skills instead of using my keyboard a lot.

I get at least 1 dishonorable a day for leaving RA matches because I get fed up with bad teammates.

I like to hold Ctrl and Alt to see where my team and enemies are on the field, then I hit the arrows and "WTF, MY SCREEN IS UPSIDE DOWN." I've gotten better about doing that though.

- I drink on most days that end in Y, and since I can't fall asleep til I'm sober, when I get home I log into game and vent and reveal way too much about me and ... certain aspects of my life and regret sharing them the next day >_<
- NGH Club, too!
- I often play with almost my entire screen covered. I usually have Friends, Inventory, Guild, Mission Map and sometimes Hero or Storage open if I'm in town.
- I ping stuff convinced that the more ping it, the more heroes will listen
- I can run laps around whatever town/guild hall I'm in for an hour or more without getting bored. I just keep running and running... I do it in an OCD kind of way, too... like if there are lines, I have to run on the same ones in the circuit...
- I don't weapon swap as much as I could because for the most part, PvE isn't hard enough to make it worth my time, and I don't PvP anymore because the people in it aren't worth my time (ohai assholes! <3 j/k don't kittenstomp me).
