Resigned.

I stuck with my presearing bar until halfway through prophecies when my brother came into the room and lol'ed at me...
And by presearing bar, I mean:
Conjure Phantasm
Fire Storm
Flare
Etc. etc.

Finished NF and Factions with Starter armor on a derv.Then finished Prophs with AL 40.
Come to think of it,I was pretty noobish until I made my monk.

Deleting my Warrior two days before they announced minipets and extra character slots (this was like 2 weeks before my war would have been 1 year old).

First dumb thing I did was around 37 months ago when I sold my first black dye drop for 250gp, I wish I had checked the trader but then again I didn't know they existed. Next "dumbass" event was when I went to pay some dude 2000gp for an item for my warrior. I mistakenly put the number 2000 in the plat window, effectively telling the game to pay 2 milliongp. This wiped out the 16k I had accumulated so far in the game.

1-I always put the disc in when I wanted to play
2-thought that selling my version of gold dye(which I later realized only worked on warrior armor) and farming charr hides were a good source of money

Ok, not sure whether I've put this one here or not already - I don't think so.
Right when GW first came out and I was pre-searing I got several pieces of the same collector armour. I didn't know/realise that they were customised so I was offering to give them away.
I got called a noob and a scammer and I didn't understand why until one nice person whispered me and explained that armour was customised and could only be worn by you. So instead I started giving away the collectable drops.
Of course at that stage I didn't even know about post, yet. Wow, I sure do remember heading into post-searing.

I got to Ascalon with my first character, my ranger, and went to the armor guy. I had seen snow somewhere and he was offering an armor with fur. I assumed this armor would protect me against the snow and cold.... so I bought it.... just to sweat my ass off in the outskirts of Ascalon.

Not really noob mistakes, just bad luck
-Initially making an E/Mo, because a large energy pool is good for monking, right?
-Deleting my fully decked Ranger and Necro before character slots were released in favor of PvP slots, forfeiting early birthday presents.
-Protesting about the evils solo farming. I've since realized that, if you want nice things, you should be able to earn them.

When I was in pre-searing Ascalon I got a black dye drop from an elemental......I put it on a water staff straight away because I didn't know they were worth anything.......the staff didn't even look that good with it.

– I thought SS meant “Soul Sucker” when applied to necros. Once I was asked if I were an MM or and SS. I wasn’t an MM so I said I was an SS (which I really thought I was). Actually, I was just a noob with a little bit of everything on my bar and points applied to all four necro attributes.
– I did Mayhem in the Market for the first time with my ranger, while wearing Ran Musu Gardens armor, a crap weapon and a noob build, wondering why it was such trouble even getting to the mission, let alone constantly failing it.
– Later in the game I thought that the place where you kill all the afflicted during the “Looking for Trouble” quest was an old abandoned guild hall. I thought I had to find and clean out more of those to get halls for the guilds that I had.
– I didn’t think you could change your secondary profession, so I deleted some characters that had just begun. But if they were level 8 or higher, I thought they were too high a level, so I just made another character of the same type in the same account, but chose a different secondary for them.
The really BIG, BIG mistakes….
– I annoyed the heck out of Anet, by constantly writing support to tell them my opinion on this or that (like which festival hats I liked or didn’t like) because with Morrowind or NWNs, you always stated your opinion on new clothes and other modifications that you add to the game. I never new about forums yet. I was a complete MMORPG noob.
– When Factions came out, I ended up buying 6 accounts because I wanted more than 4 character slots and three different guilds. This was prior to the update of being able to add more slots, and I had no idea about Prophesies adding extra slots and had no access to the original game anyway (at least not in English due to living abroad).
– Because I had just come from playing Morrowind, I made two accounts for just warriors and rangers (that was the fighter’s guild) and two accounts dedicated to the more sinister types (necro’s and assassins). This was a darker guild. Finally, I made two accounts dedicated to all of the mages (the Mage’s guild). Had to do some deleting and revising later.

I was all into making money, didn't work out in Pre tho...
Then I saw that a Girl's Cape was 0g, and bought some stacks of them to see if anyone would buy them for 1g xD...
Ofcourse no-one did, I still kept the stacks of Girl's capes and deleted them about 1 week before they got 250g at the Merchant in Pre xD...
Also, I deleted my first character in Post-Ascalon, I really thought I wen't to the bad side and destroyed Ascalon -.-

Hahaha. I'm so glad I went from Oblivion > Guild Wars instead of Morrowind, as it didn't put as much emphasis on sticking to the one playstyle.
I can't tell if I posted this before, as it must have been a while ago. I traded a Mini Kuunavang for a Charr Shaman... Then that for a Hydra. I ended up giving it away. Good times.
At least I didn't delete the new character holding the Kuunavang like my friend did. Ouch.

This is a pretty funny thread...
My most noob moments were when I tried to heal partners by clicking on the names beneath their characters, instead of the red square in the party box. I fought a lot in pre-sear trying to do this.
Yes, try to heal someone by chasing them with your mouse when they are in the middle of fighting 6 char. I often was casting heal on myself instead of my fighting partners.

one of my friends told me a pretty funny thing he used to do...
he was trying to cap elite skills after killing people in RA.
and me, well... after i got out of pre searing, i still didn't know about instant mapping and i HATED having to go to another town since the run from piken to ascalon was very painful with starter armor and no knowledge about the skills system. of course i had to memorize the paths, since i didnt know how to open maps either.
yes, i was fighting from town to town instead of instant mapping. when i got really fed up i went to rage to my brother how this game sucks and how i quit, then he showed me the trick =.=
the thing is thet when i started playing, my brother has been playing for 3 months then (i started in october and my brother bough the game little after i THINK) so the hints and all that were turned off lol
