-Made a character with fulll 75k armor, dyed, with weapons and superior vigor in a week and then deleted it because i needed PvP slot
-Bough Victos Bulwark the day it came out for 100k+20 ectos(i know i got ripped off)

Just wondering, whats SoA axe? what was it before the nerf and what is it now?

Anyway, mine is buying dragon armor and Fow, although I don't regret the fow for my monk due to ectos only(10k ecto) dyed all black(dye was 8k each then) and even though I love the look of the dragon, I'm a common sense type guy and My mind is screaming "moron, should've gotten glad + knight/ascalon boots. Oh well, so much for that. Never really lost alot of money I didn't make back :\

Wish they up the 1000plat cap on storage though, it could easily go 10,000 plat IMHO if anet just wanted to.

Its a axe that you would of get off the quest Scavangers of Old Ascalon (or Scavengers of Ascalon) and that axe allowed you to add 2x enchantment mods(like 20% longer 2x times) or like hp upgrade component. It was overpowerd so they nerfed it. BTW back then a 18% longer enchant or 20% would go over 100k.

My biggest waste would also be my 15k Dragon set. No matter what I do, I just can't make it look cool. I don't have the heart to salvage it though being that it was my very first set of 15k.

I don't get it, there are items like HOD swords and 15% FFS that have been removed ingame that doesn't seem to have been touched while that axe was removed? oh well, guess its one more nerfed item I never got the insight to take -_- I'll keep a lookout for potential items chp 2 ^^

Oh and now I remember! I made an ele that I got ran to droknar then got her a pyro set, used her as storage then just deleted her. Now I use a pvp char as storage ^^ maybe that'll get deleted too, but it only has collector items.

1000k on a 15>50 req 10 chaos axe. It was a great deal at the time, was reconsidering reselling for 2X, mabye 3X the price, then SF happened.

IMO the axe was fixed was because it was incredibly overpowered. 5% extra chance of skill recharge isnt going to single handedly win a match, and neither is 2 energy. It helps but wont pwn all. The 40% enchant axe was different, with the correct use it could dominate matches.

That's why it was fixed.

back when i was new, i had ascended my warrior and had some money after some farming(a bit over 100k maybe less) and decided to go for FoW armor. that was when ecto and shards went for 3k each(ahhhhh). i bought a few off people at toa, than went to the rare trader(this was before everything was already listed; you had to have an item to see it listed) and saw that he bought them for 4.5k! i thought wow ill buy all the ecto i can and sell it to the merchant for a profit!! so yeah i sold a few ecto before realizing i was a complete idiot.

I've never failed to salvage any runes, and I go rune farming a lot.
but I've never sold any gold items or any runes except supVig, supAbs, and supMonk runes to players.

so I guess I've lost a lot of money on gold items




and Storm of Death wins, most crappy thing ever done by a GW account holder

I would personally have to say that was my biggest waste of time rather than money... But the black suit did blow a lotta cash, especially when I deleted the char.

Give me one black dye for free.!?

How long it took for you to get 98 of them and don't tell me you planning on getting a whole stack.
