I tend to panic under slight pressure monking in low end PvP and heal/prot everyone but myself.
Very vulnerable to the "Get the monk~!" spike. >__o¿

Im guilty of multiple spacebar tapping disorder.
Even when there's a message appearing that tells me I don't need to in noob island.
... Specially when it tells me I shouldn't.

Swahnee
I'm such a lonesome and misanthropic kind of person...i always end up bickering with guildmates and leaving guilds :P
oh, and i used to keep pressing alt to watch allies while monking, and then to press F4 to swap to another weapon set O.o
now i use X instead of alt

I do /dance on EVERY female characters I see in-game.. (don't know why I do it)
Also I pressed N too many time and I like to spend all my gold at one time whenever I got rich in-game.

insulting people via team/guild/alliance chat, followed by "wc" even though i'm blatantly lying.
Arden Kindlecorpse
I can't explain why exactly, but whenever I am chatting to guildies while in an outpost - I run.
In circles.
No idea why I do this, but must appear 'a little crispy around the edges' to anyone witnessing it. I only became aware I was doing this regularly when sprung by a guildy who happened to be in the same outpost (something along the lines of, "Uh Arden, what the hell are you doing?").
Oh yeah -- and my spacebar is just a smidgen over-used (read: driven into keyboard).

I didn't think I had any bad habits in the game. But this thread made me more aware of what I do and, oh no, I'm also a NGH. Although, due to the small size of my guild, the G is more to keep checking my guild's faction total. For some reason, I can't seem to retain the info on titles in my head (even with my title hunter) and I keep checking my friend's list even when (at 3am) I know no one else is online.
I also seem to be a cheapskate in a way. I have hit 600k, but still find myself:
1. iding every white
2. using a Salvage Kit (the cheap one) to salvage materials
3. Putting off equipping a new hero until I see what runes I can salvage
4. almost never buying weapons or mods (again I wait for salvage)
5. farming armor materials instead of buying them
Do you think I can reform and break these bad habits?

I don't see those as bad habits per say. More...economical. Possibly hard to understand from some people's perspectives, at worst, surely?

I CONSTANTLY rearrange my skill bar, or change skills out. I've stepped out of a town, then back in because I didn't like a skill (countless times).
Visiting the priest even though I have no points to spend LOL
Take my level 20 ele to Ascalon and solo farm salvage items from the little beasties (I do this anytime I am bored or waiting for someone).
Oh, and can't forget:
"Log Out" >>>> "Character Select".... (OFTEN) LOL

* NGH..ing.
* Multitasking - Either smoking, eating, chatting on MSN, surfing the web or watching a video on youtube. At my worst, I whipped out my drawing pad and started sketching whilst healing in the FoW. Teehehehe. :3
* Going crazy with the camera whilst farming. I sporadically zoom in and out with the scroll button on my mouse. Kinda works against me, as I get a massive lag spike as soon as I zoom in on some action.
* Hoarding gold weapons and dumping them all on a mule's heroes, then getting utterly confused when I need a particular weapon.
* Buying armour for the sole purpose of enjoying armour mixes... Then realising I don't like the armour in the first place. Bought FoW for my ritualist recently, then raged when another rit ran past with monument armour, as it .. Kind of.. Looked nicer. >_>
* Never really changing my builds.
* Logging on, then instantly going for a snooze without logging out, if nobody's online. Come back to a bunch of guildies trying to talk to me. Same bad habit for msn. :P
I'm sure I have far more than that, but I can't think of any others at the moment.
Hahaha. Good times.

Bad habit of giving new players a kick-start in GW with whatever they need and if i have spares.
20k or a black dye or good weapon or mats for armor.
Reason it's a bad habit many keep spaming me for more stuffs days weeks later
and I never learn and still help the new players.

- I collect everything. I have 6 mules full of trophies and 6 more with everything else from runes to consumables, minipets, etc. Can't sell anything.
- I spam skills too often on recharge.
- I give silly or sarcastic comments to silly messages in public or alliance chat. For example, if someone asks for a rush 5 times in a row with no response, I feel urged to give some silly comment that there is currently no rusher and he should rush himself.
- If someone pings his build, I MUST comment it. Cannot resist. There is no build in the world (except my own) that cannot be improved by changing one or the other skill. This is an especially bad habit, since if I am together with my guild mates in Teamspeak, I start discussing their builds, thwarting their attempts to prepare for the mission. I usually get out of this by saying that I have to go to the restroom. When I get back, the discussion has vanished and we can start the mission. And the team mate uses whatever build he likes.
- If it is neccessary to fill up the team with heros, I MUST take mine. Nobody else has the appropriate builds, runes and equipment. I even talk other people into kicking their heros, telling that I only want to quickly examine one of mine and he can put his hero back afterwards. But I keep my heros instead.
- I painstakingly prepare a full H/H party for missions for half an hour. Read wiki, tuning hero's and my own builds and equipment. When I am finished, I decide to join a PUG without any heros, because it is more fun to watch the fellow players doing the unexpected.

When I first got GW, I was introduced by a guy who showed me everything. Bless him
crazybanshee
After making someone a decent offer of something, ie, offering to sell them something at the cheap end of market value, and having them try to lowball even further into the ridiculous, I'll refuse to sell to them even if they later accept my price. I just cba to deal with annoying people over a couple k.
bloodvayne
I have a habit of not doing much, just letting h/h do all the work, only jumping in when it's a difficult group.
It works, and gets me thru HM no problem.... but then that habit sometimes sticks when I play with people lol

spamming keys in pve until the skills goes of

I tend to ping things repeatedly in attempts to get my heroes/henchmen to listen.
I also hold down ctrl a lot when running around (want to see what's coming and stuff), so I ping my skills a lot on accident, too.
Also, I just can't hold onto my money. I recently figured out that if I actually just saved up my money in-game instead of buying multiple armor sets and runing out every hero I get and farm for materials instead of buying them and not commission art in Nolani, I'd probably have close to a million gold. Instead, I'm lucky if I have more than 70k at any given point in time. Ah well.

Hyperventilate
I spam the space bar while I'm attacking an enemy. It doesn't matter what my profession is, caster or melee, there I am, spamming away.
I purposely turn off tips when I make a new character because that, "You're repeatedly hitting the space bar!" message pisses me off.
I'm also determined to piss off everyone in Tyria: one Ascalonian at a time. I don't think my desire to perma troll is a bad habit, though. Sometimes (Oh so very rarely sometimes), good comes from it.

Red Intensity
I:
- Over heal with my ritualist in PvE.
- Develop tunnel vision when a specifically annoying person keeps harassing me.
- Repeatedly press the space bar.
- Attempt to interrupt 1/4 sec spells cast by mesmers with 40/40 sets when I'm using a ranger too often (1/10 I hit them).
- Spam Natural Stride on recharge.
- Collect the fanciest warrior weapons, even though I don't use my warrior too often.
- Predict what combination of classes the enemy will have and how quickly we'll lose to them in Ft. Aspenwood, and I'm usually right.
- Predict how quickly we'll lose in FA/RA/JQ based on the classes on my team.
- Quit any RA battles when there's too much anti-melee on the opposing team (may as well, I don't stand a chance in any case).
- Spend more time watching GvG battles than playing PvE.
