I just remember thinking what "gold/purple" weapons were. It was back in Ascalon and i'd never got a gold/purple drop yet. I used to wonder they were, and i thought they were weapons dyed gold(yellow) or purple lol.
I never actually tried to sell one. After a while of seeing people trade purple items to me i started to understand it was the colour of the text lol.

I was a level 20 E/R and still brought along my Snow Wolf and used [skill]troll unguent[/skill] with 0 in wilderness survival. 3hp regen was good in pre-searing, why couldn't it be good in the crystal desert?

In all honesty I remember someone doing that.
My dumbest thing would probably be something with a Fiery Dragon Sword ad spending a fortune on it. I think everyone sees Rurik with one of those and automatically HAS to have one...at least that's the way I was.

im done most of that stuff, i love this thread even though we get them every few months.
I decided after 2.5 yrs of playing to do UW, completed and got my first ecto. I was so careful not to merch it....um or was i...damn. I thought i must not merch it and yet i did.
Alright people ill admit it, i was truley inspired by the concept of farming. Well once i knew rangers had pets, farming could be interesting....

My first character I got out of Ascalon was my monk. I got through the shiverpeaks, and thought I was the best. Then I capped Escape and made this awesome monk build, that looked something like this.
[Escape][Power Shot][Penetrating Attack][Orison of Healing][Healing Breeze][Charm Animal][Comfort Animal][Resurrect]
I was so awesome. I tanked with my blocking, healed with Orison and HB (Which, btw, I thought that only monk primarys could have, at the time) and my pet just kicked everyone's ass while I killed with my bow.
/sigh
The game was more fun back then, wasn't it?
Brb, gonna go bowmonk some of the Northern Shiverpeaks

someone told me you could buy the Obsidian armor in your guild hall. I had all my materials and such, and what did I find in my guild hall?
Not Obsidian armor for sure.
Then I learned what an ectoplasm was. So it really didn't affect me too much. Lol.

Deleting my first character (female ranger) because I did not learn all the ranger skills available in pre and thought I couldn't get them at all...

I guess my mistake was:
Buying Guild Wars, starting up a warrior (W/E, with rain of fire eventually...ouch, even pre-scatter AI), getting out of Pre-Searing, and trying to solo Old Ascalon the way I soloed pre. I was able to kill most things, but it took forever in some cases. I got bored and quit playing the warrior. I made a necromancer, but deleted her when I wasn't getting much energy back from Soul Reaping.
And then they added the AoE scatter and I stopped playing until Factions, as if the nerf had any affect on me (well, on my horrible W/E warrior).

Strangely enough, I can't recall any dumb things I may have done as a noob... in fact I always sticked to Ele/Mesmer from the start, used it the way you did most echo nukers without any input, understood my role as a caster from the start and behaved properly with other players (when people still grouped together for missions).
I can think of several non-obvious but dumb things I've done as a PvP veteran, though, and those are the ones that bother me the most.
[EDIT] I do remember one thing now. There used to be people in Piken Square, back when it still had like 3-5 English districts, selling Althea's Ashes for ~200g to complete that infamous 4k xp quest (early 2005 players will remember the ruckus it caused) and one evening one of them was spamming the chat; I thought he was scamming people, so I threatened to report him if he didn't stop. Too bad my guild mates had informed me incorrectly, and you really could complete the quest by just buying the excess Althea's Ashes from someone, so I looked like an ass.

My first character was a N/W, rushing through mobs with my hammer and spamming some necro skills. Then I created a R/El (my main char) and I went through Prophecies using ele skills like flare.
I had so much doing this

i spent ages and ages trying to put runes from a different profession on my armour. I was sure there was a way to do it, until one day someone explained it.

I really don't remember, because it was so long ago. I guess the usual...but then again, I'm pretty awesome, so maybe not.
