This happened today - while we were doing the glint bonus I got two scroll drops but they were right by the portal so when I went over to retrieve those, we'd end up porting.

this one has to beat them all.does anyone remember when black dyes would go up and down in price all the time.i bought close 20 blacks in a weeks time for 7-8k each thinking the prices would sky rocket again the next week.yea you guessed it the next week was the same week they did the update that put a max on the selling price and the trader would only buy them for 4-5k each.i was pissed.

I was doing SF on the Galen Trask mission for the first time and didn't realize I did not have all my ore for my last quest. Everyone had logged out and I try to get them on my own and of course I die.
Next day I try to do same mission, do everything this time, and I am on my way to see Trask for reward and get dreaded Net err 7. I was not a happy person.

Divinity Coast mission. *** Possible Spoilers***
While doing the main mission, got the 1st chosen one. Got the 2nd one and got the bonus mission. Fought my way through and got all the chosen ones. Near to completion, and one of the chosen ones got killed in battle. I forgot to look after them.
So couldn't complete the bonus but completed the mission.
A few days later, I went back to DC just to do the bonus mission. When I reached where the 2nd chosen one (who activates the bonus) was, there was no cry for help as he was already dead - killed by tengu. So restarted.
Second time, it was the 3rd chosen one who was already dead when I arrived...so restarted.
Third time, got the 4 chosen ones and it was the 5th one who was dead when I got there...damn ettins...so restarted.
Forth time, I rushed my way through and just killed those in my way. Managed to get all 5 chosen ones. As I was nearing Loamhurst, I noticed the head count was one less. On checking - henchies were accounted for, but one chosen one was missing. Backtracked to search for the missing one. Found that he had decided to stay in an uncleared area, managed to aggro a tengu patrol and got himself killed. So restarted.
Fifth time, got all 5 who were alive & kicking. Constantly checked to make sure they were all with me, so far so good...WOOHOO! Came face-to-face with undeads by poison swamp. Fought hard and killed the baddies, while keeping an eye on the chosen ones. Things still looked really well until 3 of the chosen ones decided to take a swim in the poison waters....Arrrrgh! I ran to a safe area, hoping they would follow and leave the poison waters. But alas no, they enjoyed the poison so much they stayed and died. *sigh*
Kinda given up on this bonus mission now.

-Deleted my necromancer which had all the candy weapons on her ;__;
-I once crafted 4 pairs of 15k hydromancer boots ;___; due to mouse lag ><
A buddy told me about a monk at Temple of Ages. He had 105 etcoplasm and 105 obtisian Shards, He told me that the monk was very pissed off for some reason and sold all his ectoplasm and obtisian shards to the merchant by accident somehow :/ I bet he was spewin.
Thats REALLY unlucky.

bought two messmer runes for 4000 (as lot of money for me) as a retirement fund, then next day saw the rune traders, then prices went straight downhill, sold them after months yesterday for 25 each to rune traders.

Just went with a SF Farmin group, started with 5, but one dropped. Too bad too, because the best drops were commin from the chests :O
...seriously, after 6ish bosses all I had to show for it was a Major Fire rune. Oh well, at least I learned that my Barrage Protbot can stand up in SF 4 Mans

Well, I joined a guild group (not my own, but they were nice enough to let an outsider in) to cap a skill in Dragon's Lair. I swore to them I would not leave after I capped it (I didn't want to be 80% of the assholes that play GW that drop a group once they get their skill. I finally capped Grenth's Balance, and we moved on to the next map. We were about halfway through the elemental map, when my internet connection drops for about 30 seconds. As soon as I got back on I was met with ''Ass''. I quickly told (her) what happened, and she understood. I pm'ed another guy in the group and told him what happened, and all was well.

I've been trying to get a group together for Iron Mines of Moladune for the past 3 days. I dunno why no one ever wants a necro but I digress 
I was told it was an easy run with henchies, so I've been doing it, failing, correcting my errors, going back in. Everything was going swimmingly well, and then I notice that one of my henchies isn't with me. Of course, it's Lina (Protective). I go back to get her and I notice she's in a place right by where the Engineers stand, but she's on the platform, apparently stuck. Everyone but Lina, Claude, Alesia, and myself are dead. I manage to get Lina with the group, go back to attack a Mursaat Necro, and Lina is right back where she was! Alesia dies, so Claude and I sluff back to get her. But she's really stuck this time. I figure.. maybe she'lll just work herself loose so I go back to fight. Claude dies. I die. Lina, however, remains alive... sightseein' or some sh*t! I waited, waited, and waited, and finally... yep, I had to go back, so I can begin again.
Maybe this is why I've got a migraine

Thread revived. 
When I created my first char, I sold a black dye to merchant, cause I thought it was worth 1g (seems like a common mistake). On another char, I accidentally sold a black dye to merchant aswell. A lot of cursing followed.
When running around the desert, I was going Augury -> Destiny's and died right on the portal after running with 1 hp for what seemed like ages.
When playing Random Arenas, I got a kickass team and we managed to get through 15 consecutive wins, most flawlessed. Then I get disconnected.
I went through 15 queen runs. In all those runs, only once did the Kephket's Refuge drop. And it wasn't for me.
Bought new armor for the ele, and had 74g afterwards. Was gonna salvage the rune out of the old Flame's Eye, but ended up getting Glittering Dust. So instead I bought a new rune, and was gonna apply it. A message popped up asking if I would like to replace the old rune. After looking, I noticed my "new" headgear had 30 armor and a fire rune. (Yay, for buying armors while tired).
So, I was the MM at a SF run. Probably had ~30 minions after me. While running through the crushers, I lagged, so I died. I doubt I have to say what happened. Good thing teamies were guildies with humor.

Bought new armor for my Warrior & expert salvaged the old stuff. I got my maj. axe mastery & maj. vigor runes back. Didn't get my superior vigor one tho. (WTS - 10 iron ingots, 100k)
Raptox
I don't play as often as a lot of people here, so I don't have endless supplies of cash. I put together an earth magic E/Me farming build to get some EXP from Trolls. Worked okay, but it could have been improved by a staff with faster recharge of earth magic skills and a bonus to enchant length. So, I went and bought Galigord's Stone Staff, thinking it'd be a good match. It was, and I was happy.
Two runs later, a Troll drops a gold Raven Staff. I identify it and get:
Raven Staff of Enchanting
Whatever damage, whatever req.
Halves recharge of earth magic skills (Chance: 17%)
Enchantments last 19% longer.
I swear, that Troll's last words were "You just wasted your moneyyyyyyyyyyy..." It's not a terrible happening by any means, but it is pretty unlucky.

I have done this exact same thing too many times to count. I keep my salvage kit and ident kit in the exact same spot in inventory on all of my characters. I still manage to pull this boneheaded move about once a month.
I feel your pain! And I am glad that I am not the only one doing this lol!
Unluckiest thing I can think of for me is the chests in ToPK. Party finds a gold chest, everyone crowds around and starts stickin keys in it, golds are flying.
1. max gold eternal shield
2. max gold longbow
3. max gold stormbow
4. max gold eternal shield
5. max gold eternal shield
6. max gold req 13 fire staff energy+5 halves casting time of earth spells 10%
7. max gold fellblade
8. max gold twin hammer
Guess which one was mine.... Yep thats right, the only wand in the bunch! it was worth 204g to the merchant who I am pretty sure was laughing at me as he bought it. The Unlucky part of the story is that it repeats itself EVERY time i open a gold chest in ToPK, always get a staff or a healing ankh that a pre-searing monk would laugh at.

This one just happened last night. Trolls dropped a gold raven staff. After IDing it, got an +5 energy and reduced bleeding staff. Busted out the expert salvaging kit and got materials to make 2 rolls of parchment.

I was moving things around in my inventory when I was in the FoW. I ended up putting my perfect modded earth staff (Orr skinned no less) into the waste bin. T_T My lovely staff.
Naxohs Seralna
I got a 15%/-5energy fellblade (I think the req. was 8 or 9) in FoW when I was pretty new and didn't know about GWGuru...I ended up selling the beauty for 7k. :'(:'(:'(:'(:'(:'(

I've gotten the err=7 message twice since I started playing GW.
Unfortunately, one of those times was when I was carrying the bonus item for our group and received the dreaded err=7 right before finishing the bonus. I felt terrible about it. I logged back on immediately and spent the next several minutes apologizing to the very upset group members.
