Been playing GW for almost 2 years now so I bet I racked up many dumb questions in the beginning

how do I sit.
where is storage (in pre).
Why do I keep running off in all directions when trying to type anything in the chat

lol I still do sometimes

But the dumbest and stupidest thing I did for the 1st month playing way back then was selling ALL dyes for 1g to merchant.............

After being told by my guildmates all about green weapons and ectos, when i first got to post searing Ascalon i spent a good couple of hours trudging round the immediate area getting battered by everything, and coming back into town and moaning in main chat about , why the hell i hadnt dropped any greens and ectos...........

Suffice to say i was most kindly informed by several people on my misguided ideas

Playing for the very first on guild wars and i got a invitation from a farmer guild.

Got kicked* xD
Another guild : Guys what is farming ?
Guild:Killing mobs for loot
me: Oh , i thought it was something like a farmer and cows
guild: Omg xD

1st day in GW, was talking to my friend in pre-searing

'Hey xxx, I cant find u in ascalon (we were in different district)'

I thought this is a super-hero kind of mmo that I soloed everything in and after pre-searing (and eventually getting owned by charrs)

Because a friend had introduced me to the game, I saved all my stupid questions for her. However, I did a couple of stupid things. First was in the first mission, we (my partner and me) had got a group together and we were ready to start. She was the party leader and didn't see the enter mission key and so just walked out the door. The guy we were with was like, it didn't look like this before, so we went back in. It was only after that, that we noticed the button.

The other thing was waiting on buying a rune of holding because it was "very expensive" and we wanted to see if we would actually need it before paying all that money.

Thank God she had told me about dye, so I have been collecting them ever since, only selling them when I could make the big bucks (like when new hats would come out and the traders ran out).

"Why, when i use a salvage kit, dont i get those nifty runes!?"

Is there anyone who didn't look in horror at post-sear Ascalon for the first time and ask how to get back to pre-?

When I was in presearing, I hadn't found the travelbutton yet and I always ran to previous cities. Lost a lot of time with running xD

And after I had done presearing I tought i had finished the game ^^
I once bought an armor too, a guy sold his armor in presearing and I didnt know that armors always were costumised xD

My idea of farming:
growing food to sell them and make money xD, till I realised that there were no farms in GW

I get the feeling that:

A) Some of the things written here are true and funny
B) Some of the things written here are not true and funny
C) Some of the things written here are not true and not funny

Me myself I still have questions that when I ask I realise after a second why the question was stupid, so I dont let anyone answer...

Actually I did the opposite, I played with my character for so long that I forgot about pre-searing, so when I made a new I asked how to get to the ruined one

"How Do You Dance?"

This wasn't something I said, but I did The Great Northern Wall Mission about 7 times not knowing what to do after it.

A long time ago...

"Argh! Why is it so difficult to target?"

"Dude, try to press C+Space"

"Oh! THNX..."

Heavy Chaos Master · May 20, 2007, 07:19 PM // 19:19

ermm when i first joined guildwars i dint have a clue what i was doing let me see... here are a few dumb questions i can remember asking

" I need a free run to drakurs froge " i had heard guild mates going on about it in TS and though i could get to Drakurs froge (droks forge) from beacons perch for free XD. a stupid one i can rember asking was in Augury Rock and someone had just typed in looking for Hydra Farming group. i had no idea what farming was so i asked : "Is farming putting the Hydras in a pen and looking after them?" of course the whole town startyed laughing but i was informed by a kind stranger how misguided i was :P

"This is boring, why does it take so long to run from town to town?" (Before I realized you could map to the marked towns.)

natus · May 20, 2007, 07:43 PM // 19:43

"how do i save"

Heimdallw32 · May 20, 2007, 07:59 PM // 19:59

I was horridly newbish with my first character, a W/Mo...I thought it was like a D&D Paladin, so I was trying to help the monk henchie heal the party. >_> Yeah. I know.

So I get this guy who tells me that I shouldn't try to heal anyone but myself, because I don't have enough energy or "divine favor". So I asked him "Is divine favor what you get when America has the favor of the gods?" xD He was not pleased. (We didn't have favor at the time, by the way.)

Lydz · May 20, 2007, 08:14 PM // 20:14

Oh yes...I'll never forget this one. My friend who was in pre-searing and I who was in post-searing spent hours trying to find each other. We were running around from one place to another not realizing no matter what we did we wouldn't find each other xD

Bigger Redd · May 20, 2007, 09:38 PM // 21:38

Not exactly a question I asked, but something I thought of instead. I thought when you picked up armor drops, it added to your own.. Grawl drops a grawl armor with a rating of 5. <Thought i had 5 more armor

Answer "when you join a guild"
then replied "where do I go to join a guild".

When we got to the gate she told me to pull the lever "what lever?". After I found it she walked through and once the screen had loaded she told me to press m and go back to ascalon and that she will meet me back there, so i did. I never seen her again. I was used to open the gate and I didn't even know

AHHAHHHHHAAHHAAHAAHHAHA, Thats terrific.

My personal quotes were...

(Just got out of Pre-Searing, had henchies in my party for the first time)
Friend: Kick those henchies out of your party
Me: Are you sure...?
Friend: Yes. o_o;
Me: Okay, I'll trust you on this one.
(After he helped me with a few missions since he was high level)
Friend: Okay I gotta go, try doing some quests on your own.
(I go and try some)
Me: Wtf! I can't do crap, I keep dying!
Friend: Uh.. Where are you henchies?
Me: You told me to kick them jerk! Now they're gone for good?
Friend: ...You can get them back at the front gate.
Me: Oh..
