First of all - in my defense, GW was my first MMORPG experience - EVER!

1. When I first joined a guild - 4-5 days after getting GW (2 years ago), they were talking about "farming." Then I remember asking in Guild Chat, "Where do you get a spot of land to farm and what kind of food do you farm there?
2. Pre-Factions - accidently merched a HOD and a q815^50 fellblade in the same week - I went out from grotto 10 times to commit suicide that Saturday...
3. I never do this, ever - but this one time I RAGE quit a THK mission PUG group (Pre-NF - so pre-heros). The leader tank of the group was trying to tell people to stay up by the king to defend him inside the Keep. I was like, "nu uh ya noob!, we run back and forth between the gates and HAVE to kill them as they come in!" He wouldn't listen, lol.....hey I did have half the group following and believing me

4. Lastly, right after I started playing, I sometimes noticed people putting this: "

" symbol at the end of their text chats - and most often it was when someone was saying goodbye or logging off. So, in my genius I assumed that was the symbol for "I'm done and out, not gonna say anymore" or something. Lol, so, the only time I ever smiled for several months was when I was leaving! (/shakes head at self...)

...........................laugh away, I know....

...oh yeah, sry.....

well.... i started in nightfall and NF has the best tutorial, so yea, nothing too noobish:
1. shouting in Kamadan "WTS Collector Items!! Including Water Djinn Essence!!" cos i thought that was pretty rare..... that time i was <lv15
2. equiping a purple smiting staff while being a E/Mo... that was my first purple staff, even put in points in smiting just so i can use it...
3. gave dunkoro a purple Grim Cesta +7 en req 2 death i could still remember... gave him 2 deaths so he could wear it.... while he's using a staff...
4. Salvaging Ele Ancient Armor after getting Primeval, then finds out how ugly it is...
Salvaging Derv Ancient Armor after getting Primeval... could have used it for 130 hp....
that time i really though finishing a campaign was leet...
both are before the release of EotN
5. giving away 200+ candy cane shards to some random person cos i thought i was trading to my friend....

When I first started with my ele in Prophecies, I was in a mission, and was with 2 other people in group, we all agreed that we would do the bonus, and non of us knew where it was, (I don't think anyway) so towards the end, the two other people in my group went wandering off to try and trigger the bonus, I didn't see them go off(for whatever reason) and they weren't in my radar, so I too ran off, I saw a temple and decided that it must have been the bonus, so I walked up to it and I'd triggered the mission ending. The worst part was, that one of the other players, was apparently right outside the bonus.

beregond · Mar 19, 2008, 06:46 PM // 18:46

Most noobish act ever....using the starter ranger armor, and I mean starter, not the collector armor in pre, all the way up until Henge of Denravi when I finally understood how to actually buy the armor. 8sigh* Most noobish thing I ever did.

Used a Avatar of Mel on Necro. I thought no condits for 10 secs was uber.

Used Mending...

kooomar · Mar 21, 2008, 07:25 AM // 07:25

3 runes of minor vigor on my ranger, hey, it was way cheaper than a sup vigor.

I did the exact same thing

Sold a Req 7 15^50 Gladiator Sword to the merchant because I was under the impression nobody wanted Glads, which was true, but Req 7.....

I actually queued at a Xunlai merchant in pre when I first created my account

To be fair though GW was my first venture into online gaming and I wasn't sure of the etiquette. I look back and laugh now

I made no mistakes, I was born perfect

Trelliz · Mar 21, 2008, 10:20 AM // 10:20

The most n00bish thing I did was create my main character as a N/W, thinking that I could do spells and melee and preceded to wander around ascalon with a wand and shield

(this was back in 2005, so I could get away with running around as a N/W without cries of "OMFGWTFBBQ joo n00b!!!1111!!!!")

I soon realised the stupidity of this, abandoned all warrior skills and changed to something more sensible when I got to the desert, N/Me I think. Apart from that I can't really think of anything really n00bish i've done, although i'm sure there are some.

Awakener · Mar 21, 2008, 10:56 AM // 10:56

when i 1st began in prophecies, I had the cheapest Ascalon armor all the way 'till Amnoon oasis

u made a mistake just now lol... u lied!

anyways, when people said running for tips, i gave them pointers on how to run better and not money!

and i remember my friend dyed his ascalon boots black in pre... and later dyed them green! lol black dye was expensive at the time too..

you mean the "dumbest thing you did as a newbie"

there is a difference between the two

WarKaster · Mar 21, 2008, 05:45 PM // 17:45

new to the game, my guild was no help, used to sell everything to the merchant after ID'ing. wound up merching a crap load of perfect mods. you name it I probably sold it to the merchant.

4ssassin · Apr 10, 2008, 01:27 AM // 01:27

bringing a lvl 16 W/e with non-max armor into RA, with my skill bar including Armor of Earth, Magnetic Aura, and staggering blow. xD (oh, and no elite skill)

Sarc · Apr 10, 2008, 01:33 AM // 01:33

after coming back from not playing guild wars for 2 and a half years, I delete all my characters and find out you get birthday presents

My account will be 3 years old whenever GW first came out :/

Ghostcell · Apr 10, 2008, 01:48 AM // 01:48

Nemo the Capitalist · Apr 10, 2008, 01:51 AM // 01:51

~NEMO~

Maria The Princess · Apr 10, 2008, 01:57 AM // 01:57

1- i was using mending with a vampiric bow in ToPK when it first opened to "pve public" and tough im the smartest person in the group...... till my bro yelled at me

2- my first was a R/N, i had an almost full necro skill bar with SPELLS and 1 bow skill (power shot). it was totally worth all the 7 attribute ranks i put in it. oh ya, my 1st max bow was a green Stinger i got from my 1st guild ever, i was sure that the bow is priceless lol

3- i didnt see the point of bringing comfort animal when i had my pet with me, if it dies, its its own fault right?
