Name the dumbest thing you've done in GW.
Icecream
Salvaged 2 obsi armor sets to see what I got from them, then also stupid things wich caused my account to get hacked, and I couldn't get it back........so I lost a r5 champ account. Beat that!
-Makai-
Neglecting the past three Halloweens. That mummy mask would have been nice...
Still Number One
Quitting GvG after my guild disbanded two years ago and not bothering to find a new one. I wont get back into GvG because I don't wanna work my way up the social network again. If I never would have quit that wouldn't have been a problem...
Voodoo Rage
Oh, now I know the dumbest thing I ever did. I took over my account from a friend of mine who was a beta tester. She had all of her character slots filled. I promptly deleted 4 of her characters that all would have had birthdays on the day of birthday pet release (luckily I saved 3 of them). I also deleted all of her festival masks not knowing about the festival guy.

Fragility + Martyr = Dead monk
Yeah, to be fair, that was about my 3rd time playing prot in GvG. I learned what hexes did after that!

Arutima
salvaged my monk's vabbian armor because i hated how the shoulder part of the armor was clipping into her shoulder
Scary
The dumbest thing I ever tried to do in GW, is waiting for a decent PuG

on topic:going out to cap an elite without a sig classic
lemming
leave my guild two weeks before they got a gold trim
ZephyLynx
Deleted my dervish (who had a full set of elite sunspear and vabian armor) for a pvp character slot after I realized that my dervish was my storage character. I think I lost over 800k of items plus the armors.
Here is my cap sig story:
Back when Nightfall was just released I found the Offering of Spirit boss and didn't have a cap sig. I noted the location and went back into town. I grabbed a cap sig, went back, killed the boss, and realized that I was not part rit. When back into town, changed secondary, and fought back to the boss. After killing it, I realized that I had a rez sig, not cap. Back to town, and killed the boss for the 4th time, and just as I was about to use the cap sig, I err7'ed. I did get it on the 5th try though.

1. My second character, my ritualist, was my first real attempt at Legendary Survivor. I played so carefully to 500k exp (which I know isn't much, but for a newbie it was significant). My friend said, "I know a way you can get LS easily," and took me out to Ice Cliff Chasms alone in HM. "Look, the wurms are stationary and just do melee attacks. Completely safe!" Cool, I said, and we started walking back to the portal. Then, across the bridge, I noticed a lone chest. "Ooh, a chest!" I ran to it, all the aloes popped up, I had no spirits summoned, I panicked, attempted to run (hello, knock-down!), and died. I was so mad at myself, I didn't play for like a week.
2. I often forget my cap signet or to change my secondary, but half the time I notice it before I get all the way to the boss. However, there was a time I fought my way through a pretty dense area, killed the boss, and realized I had forgotten one of those things. Mapped back, changed what I needed, and fought my way back again. This time when the boss died, his green dropped. I got excited, picked it up and mapped out, forgetting completely to cap the skill. Had to go out yet a third time to actually be successful.
3. For about a year and a half, I'd been pronouncing the name of an item wrong. And it's not just a Guild Wars-specific item. I don't know what got in to me, because I'm usually pretty anal about looking stuff up if it's new to me. Made me feel incredibly stupid and embarrassed when I found out.

Answer to the thread : wasting 15 hours to test and establish a build a hero could manage for henchman contest.
Verene
The classic "forgot a signet of capture" one, probably. It took me a full six months to get Shadow Form, because every single time I went to get it, I forgot the damn signet, and got too annoyed to retry it right then.
Arkantos
Sold a r9 15^50 chaos axe before Factions for about 100k+6e.
Spookii
Bothering to argue with someone in Ascalon AD1 in local chat.
Edit: Oh, and changing skills but forgetting to change attribute points. s_s

spent over 3 million on zaishen keys before the title came, merched a req9 insc magma shield and req10 ele sword a few months after nightfall came out.

Restarting all of my characters like 20 times. XDD I missed out on quite a few minis. n__n Also, the minis I did end up getting I'd just give them away/sell : D!
Oh and.. I sold a mini kuuna for 70k a little while before minis were available for town display XDD

Sold a Miniature Oni and Shiroken for 230 and 280 ecto after I came back from a break, before they for some reason sky rocketed in price (they were dedicated).

I've tried searching everywhere on this topic and simply cannot find a consensus.
Frangeo Munda
Probably when I accidentally 93k of ectoes.
...what?
Me neither. Apparently, however, the name is French, according to a baby-naming website. I'd strongly guess it's a long-e sound instead of a long-i.
...what?

Ran my warrior with attributes in bow until level 5 (split between bow and sword). Then ran apply poison with a sword to get 7 degen... prophecies beta, the good old days of being noob.
...even worse trader.
Sold r12 colossal scimitar to merchant, among other things (anything more than r9 doesn't get kept)
Sold r8 communing forbidden staff 10/10 for 15k.

After HoM calculator came out I rushed to buy Kurzick armor for my ranger. Because I'd never dealt with faction armor, I didn't realize they came in Elite and non-Elite varieties. Dozens of ambers down the drain

Made my first character: an Assassin in Cantha. Typed in the bonus code to get some GW Factions: Collector's Edition goodies. Played around for a while; about 'til you get away from the newbie-island. Decided I wasn't happy with the name of my character. Deleted it; made a new one. Realised I just lost a Miniature Kuunavang.

Also, thinking a Mesmer with sword attacks was a good idea. But it was so fun!

@topic: I didn't do something REALLY dumb, I just have forgotten to bring a Cap-Sig or change the secondary quite often while maxing the skill hunter...
Oh and I ran through a portal while vanquishing an area (don't know which, but it had ~300 monsters) and looking for the last group -.-

ive done the usually capsig hijinks. ive been auto running while vanqing to type something only to zone by mistake and i havent finished the vanq. also done the many rerolls of a char. i sure miss the minis i could get but when you only have 8 slots,no money and get bored easly meh. i also did the sell someone something and accepted to quickly only to see a second later its 10g not 1k.
FengShuiDove
Made a Dervish.
And also, the smartest thing I didn't do: abuse my knowledge of perma-Shadow. I was using the A/Me version to farm Chamber and UWG in UW for a long time before GW:EN came out and people started doing it commonly. If I had been more creative, I could've been at the forefront of speedclears and perma-farms, and right now we might all be using Doveway. Oh well.

Abandoned the mallyx quest (After finishing all the zones) by accidently thinking it was the "every little bit helps" quest. I was in a hurry to get gobstoppers.

I had a proph only account and a factions/proph account. I bought nightfall lost the cd key. Bought nightfall again linked it to the proph only account. Now instead of one full campaign account I'm stuck with proph/NF and proph/factions.
