Dumbest thing that happened to me was about 3 years ago (i think) and was not actually my fault lol

I was in Guild called Siege Turtles. At the time I had left my pc afk and my nepthew thought it would be real great fun to chit chat in alliance chat flaming everyone and everything. I had to leave and all from Siege Turtles and couple of other Guilds like Lore School who was in alliance at the time now hate me. Baring a few close friends who would actually listen to my story and still play with us now.

.

Let that be a lesson to all. never leave your pc un-guarded

Selling my very first Black Dye in pre searing for 200gold, thinking I made a good deal...

Yesterday I was doing Destruction's Depths. It was much more difficult than it should have been, and I couldn't figure out why. It was only after that I noticed that somewhere along the line I had set Gwen to Passive instead of Defensive. She had literally been doing nothing the entire time.

I think I felt most stupid when I merched my Gothic Dual Axe. I worked really hard on it, was so glad I got one. Then I was going to the merch and didn't have my axe as current weapon. I thought double clicking would make it my main weapon, yet I was still in the merchant window. Bye bye axe

Almost too embarrassed to even post this but, I totally forgot that Snowball Dominance rewards 500g. I've been farming all week on the same toon and not noticing that my gold was maxed at like 99k+. Probably missed out on a solid 50k or so... :doh:

My spin on the classic Cap-Sig moments:

Heading out into a zone, fighting all the way to the target boss, having forgotten to even PURCHASE the cap-sig -.-

Attempting HA and after getting r4 quiting....
Not buying a ded shiroken for 300e because it looked to small.

Amongst alot of other things.

thought about this, then I remembered WHY I always check my new armor pieces and my old ones before I salvage them----back when, I had just gotten the 1k version of armor for whichever toon, and usually I swap them out and then salvage the old one, well a wee bit o'lag and I salvaged the new one instead---good thing it was only 1k armor, would have been really upset if it had been 15k (though I think I would have noticed the different icon at that point).

Deleting my old lvl 20 characters after being convinced that I won't be able to take my characters with me when factions get released.

My hubby and I would swap stacked items back and forth to break them up not knowing that the SHIFT key did it for me

guess we should put that in the 'things we wished we knew about guildwars when we started playing' thread......

This is pretty epic stupid, but I wasn't fully aware of how epic stupid until recently: Back when I first started playing, I was convinced I would never play a monk or mesmer in PvE. I was also convinced that Zaishen keys were worthless. And GWAMM/Skill Hunter wasn't even on my radar. So, for any potential monk or mesmer heroes, and any low-end PvP characters, I used all the Balthazar faction I earned to unlock every single monk and mesmer skill. It made sense to me at the time -- Zaishen drops are worth about 300g to a merchant; unlocking a skill in PvE costs 1 plat.
But now that I have a monk and a mesmer, and as I'm capping skills on an aspiring GWAMM, and I'm working to get 200 Z-keys for my HoM, I think about all that wasted faction and it makes me feel kind of sick.

That's ok, I spent (somewhat recent) time earning faction to unlock skills for almost every profession, and then remembered that there are these things called hero skill trainers. Yep, still sitting on a lot of unused points on many characters, and no skills left to unlock. Not as bad, but still

Bought into an ecto rush, only to see the price crash a day later. Ouch.

Back when the Scavengers Of Ascalon Axe was happening I supported and defended arenanets descision regarding it because I didn't realize what a rotten organization they were.
