yeah, another one about the no key chests, and the unconditionals.
Other than that, just generally knowing what would later become extremely valuable
edit: a few months ago I was pugging with someone with a mini panda. Said he bought it for like 200 ectos back when there was no HOM.
Things you wish you knew before you started Guild Wars...

the dreadnought's chest before the nurfs 55 UW before every one know that staffs would get req put on them Iway when it worked and half a dozen others |
when +5 energy on weaps didn't exist...would have made a ton of money
For me it would be how armor works : thought it was adding up (15 head + 15 chest + 15 hands, etc...) that's why i played with a focus on my war up to level 14-15 because i thought that 16 armor wasn't a great deal compared to energy ... now i learned this lesson !

@ OP, that I'd become addicted

Windf0rce
Wish I liked PvP back then and had farmed r8+ doing IWAY and stuff.
Relent Less
That there are two sites that pretty much tell you every aspect of the game.
That RA existed...well kinda lol. Never knew exactly how a PvP only toon worked, and never made one cause I thought itd be a waste of time leveling it, getting skills etc.

My New Name

The system requirements. :P Seriously had GW sitting on a bookshelf for half a year before I actually got to 'play' it.
Deimos Zargarda
That Ectos and Shards are more worth than 100g.
That Profession not only decide the look of your character.

Wish I knew what that little rectangle in the lower left of my corner full of scrolling text was.
What WTS / WTB meant.
What black dye was for in pre.
That necros weren't meant to whack things with swords.
That this was a multiplayer game.
How to add henchies in Ascalon City, Piken Square, Fort Ranik...
hmmm, what the henchmen were.

Pre searing was NOT the whole game. lol
That Black Dye was worth more than just selling it for 1g to merchant. O.o
This was back 4 years ago and i had just started playing oh the shame thinking back now.

Hmmm... this is hard, because I got interested in the game the second time (first time was when CGW ran the Faction preview, but I was too young then and my parents would never have let me get it) was when I remembered how interesting it had looked and I googled it, leading me to GuildWiki. And that's how I got into the game... I have this problem where if I dream up a character for a game, even one I'm not intending to play, I suddenly have to make it (problematic now that I have a burning desire to make a new Warrior and don't have the slot...). So basically I read up everything on Wiki BEFORE getting the game.
But there are a few things...
a) I think I did sort this out before hitting the actual factions part of Factions, but I was quite disappointed to find that Lux/Kurz was guild-based, not character-based.
b) I wish, before I'd spent a bunch of skill points on it, that I'd known that a combination Hydro/Aero was not so hot after all.
c) I wish I'd known that trying to combine dagger attacks with minion mastery sucks; all I ever use my dagger skills for now is Bison Tournament.
d) I wish I'd known how much Moa Chicks were worth. I was trying to get my first elite armor (E. Canthan), so I was saving money... and I passed up the chance to buy one for about 30k less than they were really going for (this was right after they were introduced; they were worth a TON). I coulda bought the armor right then if I'd gotten it to sell.

That you don't have to bring the henchmen back after using them lmao.
Raven Wing
That mini pets would be given out for birthday, I have deleted 4 or more chars back in 2005...I deleted them because I had put those skill points (forgot what they were called) in a bad way and thought it was irreparable lol.
When I was a newb I kept making chars and deleting them, only my main is from August 05, 3 months after I actually started playing.
I also spent my 2 first months playing as a total noob not knowing what I did and not getting advice. I thought all the guilds were only l33t pro players who wouldnt accept a newb like me. Until I finally found a guild with nice people who were actually more or less as newbish as myself lol. But that doesnt matter, now we could talk and play together and learn together

That if you have a chance at getting a TA team together, take it and seize it and ABUSE IT because nowadays getting onto a TA team requires either a gimmick build or some satanic occult sacrificial worship thingy.

I wish I hadn't tried dying one of my holding bags black... I guess I kind of assumed it would show me some sort of preview like they do with all the armor. It doesn't.
This was back when black dyes were worth tons. If you want to make your friends cry, tell them holding bags look awesome dyed black.

Master Ketsu
Death of superior absorption ( remember when that thing was fluctuating for 90~75k )
Trader of Secrets
They shouldve told me that u can change 2nd profession as many times as u like. When i first started I had like 2 monks and 2 wars.

I thought Pre-Searing was the whole game lol. After I finished all the quests I could find, I spent like a week running around trying to get to new areas. A friend of mine who was new also, he knew about Post-Searing, but he never told me about it. So he left Pre-Searing while I was still wandering around. And one day we were going to meet, we decided to meet in Ascalon, but we couldn't lol. We ended up saying rude things to each other lol I'm in Ascalon! Ascalon! District 1! District 1!!
Survivor titles.
Identify white items.

I wish I'd known that there would be a survivor title.
I wish I'd known that treasure hunter and wisdom would one day be account-based.....all those high-end chests I found and didn't open because I wasn't on my main character at the time
I wish I'd known that the rare mat prices would be 'reset' at Factions release....didn't have much money at the time, but enough to buy a fair few 100g ecto's that would have subsequently made my early playing days a bit easier (or cheaper).

Since I started not long before factions, Prophecies was the only thing around. I wish I knew that one of the first things I could have done (provided money was had) was just a run all through the important places like LA, Droks, desert, etc. (The total would have been around 10k, and I didn't make a lot of money back then).
I also wish I knew what farming was, I would have grinded some things to level up a bit more. But instead I kept trekking through the long, awful story. I didn't see level 20 for weeks.

wish i had known about quite a few farms before their nerfs... i always tend to hear about a farm, and by the time i get round to making a char ready for it, they nerf it :P
-edit-
i also wish i had known about the zkey title... i was saving for a while, got 600k (a lot for me) and one day blew it all on zkeys. got no decent drops... a month later the ztitle was introduced :/
fowlero
That ecto prices were apparently once different in the different territory's.
Find someone in another territory via international district and make a mint...

I started gw on day 1 and I wish I had know that leaving pre when you still had quests active wasnt a big deal.
I deleted my char and made a new one.

That it wasn't an MMO

that they would drop the chapter content and totally stagnate meta by not using that as a basis to cycle skills a la MTG.

I wish I had known how much this game would end up sucking. Baw baw black sheep, have you any refunds.
And in case you couldn't tell, I was being sarcastic.

I wish I knew which quests I should avoid turning in for the reward.
E.g., Mayhem in the Market for ferrying alts to Vizunah Square Local Quarter, The Path to Revelations for Norn farming, etc.

That they'd betrayed the playerbase and started making a new game, despite telling people during beta that "We're in this for a long haul" etc etc.
GW3 is gonna be announced how many years after GW2, two? less than that?

Other than that common sense helped me avoid all the nuhblet issues. :]
