Went into AB as an R/A with daggers and had all my dagger mastery attribute points in marksmanship instead by accident. I dealt around 0-1 damage per hit.

hehe i thought that the faster i hit the spacebar the fast i attacked.. till a little tip poped up and said other wise.

forgetting to put on the correct armor a few times for pvp.. yeah that went over well, runes in totaly the wrong spots.

Running all the way to Fort Ranik on my new character thinking that was where the first mission was. Took me until after i beat the game to realize there was a mission at Ascalon city.

Finding and customizing my dragos longbow the day SF came out.

interesting stuff here . Here's some that i can remember. Unfortunately i cant remember the good ones from my early necromancer days

1. Wearing an armor that increases +holy damage taken ->
2. died to an holy spike faster than a monk can cast prot.spirit
3. MinionMaster in "Villainy of Galrath" - "where's my minions? damn"
4. Sold dyes to merchant (pretty common :P)
5. "I'll wake the spawn" Stormcloud Incubus = 9 x mindshock = that went well.
6. Gate of Pain mission: decided to pull the 3rd Dhuum Emissary but something went terribly wrong and the entire castle mob got pulled with him.
7. Tried the early ranger quest on my necro (lvl10 i guess) but we got wiped >.> - i never went back there.

The first week I owned GW, I had a black dye drop and merched it, not realising their value

Just be careful if there are enemies around as you will auto attack on them instead of loot...kind of silly to me...grab the gold or kill the charr shaman? Silly Mesmer :P

Some funny/stupid things I've done:

-Tried running from Piken's Square to Nolani Academy at level 10 with level 4 henchman because I didn't understand the Mission concept.

-Thought I could still solo after the Searing.

-For the longest time I thought the little bucket at the end in your inventory slots was for some amazing box that dropped that I could fit tons of loot in...until someone promptly informed me it was a trash can.

-Kept all my old hero weapons in my inventory sucking up space because I could not figure out how to destroy them for the above reason.

I was merching some equipment I had gotten during a vanquish in GW:EN while on Teamspeak with a friend. As I merching I'm talking and I'm saying "skelk claw, goodbye, inscribed chakram, goodbye, req 13 crappy sword, goodbye, req 9 voltaic spear, goodbye, etc etc"

My friend says,"did you just say Voltaic Spear?"
"Yeah.......why?"
"What req was it?"
"9 or 10 I think, I dunno, I just merched it"
"DUMBA$$!!!"

the day i bought the game, i thought "im gonna be a ranger/elementalist!". until the maguuma jungle, i was a flare-spamming ranger :P (always wondered why i had energy problems)

since expertise didnt change the amount of energy reduction shown on the SKILL, i thought it was broken. didnt have any points in expertise until southern shiverpeaks.

ive merched a dye or two, and i also sold a black dye to a friend for like 500g and a mini whiptail.

i literally wore LA armor until the last mission in prophecies. MAX ARMOR FTW

spent about an hour or so trying to find EVERY LAST FRIGGIN MONSTER IN OLD ASCALON just to say i had "vanquished it". i was level 9. it was normal mode.

thats all for now, im sure ill think of more later. thread necromancy is epic awesome.

-yea i was like too for my ranger/ele, but I was using meteor shower and running and using inferno :P
-Back when green farming was all the rage, I was at merch and accidently sold the Vera when it was worth like 80k, doh!
-I actually thought the community was competent, bad mistake
