Default What was the dumbest thing you did as a noob?

Probably for me, was buying 2 gold bows for my ele, customizing them and then realizing (much later on) that eles do not make very good bowmen.

I drove a car into a house cuz I was drunk. It was a long time ago.
But it was a pivotal point in my life for getting my act together.

Ohhhh, in Guild Wars, when first playing ritualists I had a bad habit of using genorous was tsungrai when I was really low on health and killing myself.

I FFF a lot. I mean, i spent the majority of my newbie days fffing... a lot. I feel so stupid for letting those selfish guilds take advantage of me. What did I get out of it? Nothing. I wasn't doing elite missions then even though we owned urgoz, and I sure as hell wasn't spending my money on discounted keys...

Got some black dye in pre and used it on my starting armor. It looked retarded, and I slapped myself once I got to post and learned of the magical NPC called the "Dye Trader". Black dye was like 9k at the time too, that seemed like a fortune!

This screen shot just about sums it up


Its acctually got a funny story to it this pic, the guy whose name i coverd offerd me a run to ascalon from yaks bend for some crappy shield i had, not soon after this screen he left xD. I said id report him and he came crawing back with the shield.

I guess im a little better now

When I first played, I was the most rootin-tooting-flare-spamming-shield-wielding-aggro-gaining-ele in all of Ascalon!

Eh, I leeched a few missions, think I left in the middle of a mission to get a haircut... lol. Those were the days.

I deleted my 15k Gladiator set, my first elite armor set as well. Two months later they tell me about the Hall of Monuments...

Deleted my warrior because i did not know i could change my secondary profession (He was W/N with soul feast and bone minions haha). He was level 20 and had 15k glad/platemail mix armor, so i remade him into a W/Mo. This was so long ago though, and i had played him for a few months before i deleted him. Bawww.

On the contrast, the smartest thing i ever did while i was a noob was not join experienced groups, and infect everyone else my ignorance and cause them grief over it. Rather, i learned before i went and noobed some group's team up and ruining it.

Back in my noob days I tried to sell a gold bow that was FAR from max, with the crappiest stats ever. Then wondered why people were laughing at me. I mean...it was GOLD!

I was a pro W/E flare spammer. At least I thought I was...

Another time my friend gave me money for monk tatoos after running my level 6 monk to droks. I went to buy parchments from another player. He had 2.2k worth, so I entered the money and traded. About 3 minutes later, I noticed I traded 22k instead of 2.2k. I haven't traded laste at night ever again.
