The stupid things I've done thread

[[FnG] Lazz]

A friend of mine needed 2 more 1.5k armour pieces to complete his set, so I offered to give him 3k. He came into town and was in amongst several other people. I clicked on him and opened the trade window, put 3k in there and after a bit of a delay, it accepted.

Then the shock came when I noticed it said 'You have given (thewrongpersonname) 3000 gold'. I realised I had given 3k gold to the wrong person

I have done a lot of stupid things, here are a few:
* salvaging some guys fissure armor just so I can see if you get ectos outta it
* dyeing nublet ascalon armor black+black+red
* selling various 100k+ weaps to merchant
* salvaging my own fissure helm by accident
* logging out before THK movie was ended (before u see the swords) - had to do it once more

And other misc. shit.

But the most stupid - writing it all here and making myself look like an idiot

using contemplation of purity on a 55 monk

[BassVII]

Getting trigger happy during a lagspike and accidentally merching my 223 ectos and 17 shards

Deleting my pvp tank when I forgot he had kanaxais edge on him back when it was worth 100k

In RL I've actually ran into a glass screen door >_>

[Jumping Is Uselss]

Accidently selling my gold sephis axe to merch. Killing a boss that took 1hr to find and forgetting to bring cap sig.

[xiao1985]

ran all the way to fow and forgetting to bring material... twice...

buying a wausauis (sp?!) faith ig for 2k and saw a bo on guru 5 min later for 1k

[Riken Chrono]

1. I did not even know the space bar is an attack button till I read your post.

2. Did Arborstone using a sword while my axe mastery was 13 and my swordsmanship was 0.

3. Taking on 10 shadow warriors while my team mates pulled back. I did not notice they had all pulled back. My last words were, "Where is everybody?"

4. Customizing a Victos Axe before realising its rubbish.

Thats all for now hehe.

1. Going to cap an elite without bringing the signet of capture.. happened to me 3 times already.. worst time was shield of judgement for my monk.. took me over an hour to get to the boss, one more hour to kill him (had a party of 4--> Me and 3 henchies.. rest of the party fled..) had 60 death penalty.. and just took out one guy at the time.. till I got to the boss.. realising he is a monk, so am I, and my henchies where monk hench, ranger hench and illusion hench...sigh..

2. Selling some crappy weaponry with great upgrades (+30 health on axe for instance..) far to cheaply (before realising you can actually salvage mods..)

3. Buying non-stacking armor pieces.. never make that mistake again..

4. soloing the uw with my mesmer, only to realise I didn't change my skill and attribute set-up.. 1k down the drain sir..

5. Starting my gw experience with an assasin.. deleted her after 2 days cause I couldn't get into any parties.. (even though she did rock!! I remade her after a month or 2, just to show the world that an assasin in the right hands can be more usefull then any wammo tank)

6. Taking a shiro's blade when I finished Factions.. (was lucky some noob wanted to trade his exalted aegis and a nice sword (maxed, req9, 15^50) for it )

before I make myself look like a complete idiot, i'll just end this post right here..

[Arkantos]

Before factions came out, I sold a perfect chaos axe (10% Furious, R9, 15^50, +30hp) for only 100k+6e.

Went to cap hundred blades with henchies. Everyone had 60dp (thank God for rebirth) Made it to Rurik after a long time, and realized I needed cap.

1) Went to UW to charm spider with my guildies with my W/R. We went several times for each member. After about 5 hours, the last turn was my turn, and after the spider showed up, I tried to charm it only to find out, you guessed it, I forgot to bring Charm Animal. My guildies still won't let me forget it to this day.

2) After a farm/chest/cap run in Ring of Fire with same guildies, we stop and gab a bit. I drop the good items I had found that run on the ground to show them, a so-so gold fellblade, some kind of gold wand, and a black dye. We yak some more, and after a while we decide to enter the warp point back into Ember Light Camp. As I go to storage to put away my finds, I noticed that they aren't in my inventory anymore. I suddenly realized to my horror that I had forgotten to pick those items back up before entering town. I'm pretty sure my guildies could hear my screams even without vent.

[Exoudeous]

I acidently crafted my FoW chestpiece twice the first time i went.

I was able to salvage 20 ect out of it, and get enough to make the rest of my armor in no time. but damn, that was stupid as hell

Well, I normal salvaged my first rune of SUPERIOR vigor.

but other than that, I can't think of any big mistakes...

Lets see when I first started out I sold 4 black dyes to the merchant, all for 1gold a piece, not realizing what the heck dye traders were. And I also applied 1 attribute point to each attribute when I gained a level, so like at level 10, I have 4 attributes in every attribute for my primary and secondary profession.

I used to always be selling stuff i didn't mean to to the merchant. After a while I came up with the following:

Tip: Use a quest item (eg left over jade wind orbs) as a stopper in your backpack with items you want to keep to the right of it, items you want to sell to the left. That way you can keep clicking the sell button at the merchant and since you can't sell quest items, when you get down to it you won't accidentally sell something you want to keep.

Didn't bother recovering my Factions CE Green Kuunavang mini-pet from a character I was deleting, because "it was crap".

Went on to merch the first 3 or 4 green Canthan weapons I found (not just Shing Jea).

Traded the only rune of superior vigor I ever found and spent the cash on a guild hall for my "solo" guild. Been there like 3 times in 4 months.

Salvaged many superior skill runes, before realising most of them are worth more unsalvaged.

Wondered why I was so poor, farming with a full team of henchmen...

I'm just not that bright.

[Maria The Princess]

1- spent over 20k just to figure out how to solo FOW with my ranger, meanwhile i hate soloing so i do it once a week

2- deleting my monk who had all the monk elites because "it was boring" just to remake a new monk 2 weeks later

3- trying to kill Shiro with a kickass Beastmaster build... with no chrm animal in it

4- farming with my guild leader, he is a Toucher and im a Mo/A. by mistake, i used recall on him when he aggroed a huge mob of wardens. instead of hoping he doesnt get striped i panik and end the enchantment only to teleport in the huge mob...

5- giving instructions over TS to a guy who wasnt on TS

Blonde moments!

[borik oakwood]

last night i fired our teams catapult in VOD
i nearly killed myself you just dont realise the shame especially since we were dominating all the way. i did it coz i thought tht they might do it. so i tried to fire before it could get near the hench

never ever fire my own catapult even at 1 min into a match ever again!

[DJJD2006]

Doing Dragon's Lair, With all Skills in Swordsmanship, and only a max sword... with 0 in swordsmanship... I still did it and beat Glint (good team i guess)

[Warmaster Patton]

I sold a 100k+ectos weapon that my friend gave to me for 2k

I did Gates of Kyrta 4 times before I figured out what to do.
