If you could go back to the beginning, would you have done it differently?

* For my ranger (my first, and favorite character).....
1) Would have stayed with his original hair-do or used his new one from the beginning....
2) Wouldn't have restarted him a few months ago (before Factions came out) -- I would've had a mini-pet by now, and restarting to get beginner's armor (for my collection lol) is really pointless when Factions introduces a max lvl "beginner" armor merchant into the game a month or two later.. -_-
3) Wouldn't have bought 15k Drakescale right before restarting him -- an easy 45k I could have otherwised used.
4) Wouldn't have customized my max shadow bow right before restarting him.

* Would have been a better farmer (still not that good at it lol) ... especially when all the good spots were still around.

* Would have done more Lost Stormbox/Dreadnought's Chest runs before the nerf bat.

* Would have PvP'd more/earlier when everyone was noob and it was all about having fun..

-Make my warrior smaller
-Use a different name for my monk
-Made more female characters instead of all male ones.

That's so true... I remember when I used to put half my points in a secondary attribute just for one skill that I used maybe 25% of the time - just cause I didn't know any better lol... people were a lot more considerate and forgiving back then.

1: I wouldn't have let me friend use my account. He deleted me FoW wearing ele the DAY AFTER I got the armor. Needless to say, he isn't my friend anymore.

And there you have it, my one regret.

Gosh, knowing what I know now...
-I would NOT have purchased 15K armor for my monk, necro, and ele... maybe not even for my warrior.
-I would have saved all that money for the things I really wanted, once I knew what they were. lol
-I would have farmed more before certain changes to the game, so that I'd have more return for my effort and have to farm less now.
-I would have uncovered every freaking square inch of an area the FIRST time I went through it.
-I would have made 4 characters from the very first day so i'd have all four of my presents already. =)
-I would never have purchased so many axes. ^_^
-I would have given my necro a better face and name. >_<

there isnt much i would have done differently at all, i think i did great.

The only things i regret are starting characters, wasting money on runs from Ascalon to droks, buying the armor, giving up and deleting the character wasting money.

And my greatest regret of all is taking Tengu farming for granite, i will always miss you!

I would have made a Wammo on my primary account in place of my mesmer (this way I could have done farming sooner).
My first was my R/E and that I would never change.

The rest are all trivial and not worth mentioning.

I started as W/Ele as well ^^, it was fun 'nuking' with firestorm before going in with NEW FIERY DRAGON SWORD!
That was pretty much my strategy!! Sword and everything! and then i would run in and hit Inferno. So basicly what i had achieved was I had Run into all the aggro hurt them a bit and I was completely out of energy. good times.

I wouldn't have deleted my ranger (who was my first character). I regretted it ever since. Apart from that I would change nothing.

Yes I remember that first Fiery Dragon Sword. I think it was precious, but I used it anyway. I thought I was a stud. I then upgraded to a piece of crap Chaos Axe and thought I was the bomb dizzle. I think it was a highly salvagable. Man those were good times.

not taking a free run to droks many months ago, when i created my first ever char, r/ele, it messed up everything, only when i played through other chars i found out the correct route (story wise) to take.

never get ran, more fun exploring when you first start

I wish I had gotten in on the ground floor of all those early money-making schemes, that's for sure.

Also, I shouldn't have remade my necro, although at this point it wouldn't have made much difference.

Finally, I shouldn't have deleted my almost-12-month-old elementalist just before I found out about mini-pets.

o yea i also would have found a way to exploit the skill "i will avenge you" to make it look overpowered and so it would get nerfed and stop the build iway from ever existing.
