The only really stupid thing I have done is delete a lot of money and characters when I tried to 'quit' GW

MrTickle · Jan 15, 2007, 12:13 PM // 12:13

Last week I had a gold max damage, 15^50 colossal sword drop and sold it for 10k. The next day a guild mate told me that they're worth as much as crystalline swords.

Gutted is an understatement

I deleted a birthday present without knowing what it was. Also deleted older underused Prophecies characters along with their presents. Oh well, live and learn.

I wish I saw this tread a while back.

I was working with Mojave Mango and her alliance in the Fissure of Woe and we just finished the Wailing Lord. After we get him I see and obsidian chest and start singing "ima gonna open a chheeesssstttt~" over Teamspeak. Next thing I hear is the battery saying "Here it comes!" then suddenly 6 Skeletal Berserkers jump on me. I applied Whirling Defense of course...before the 6 Wild Blows.

Died in less than 5s.

(1) Allowing Cappers to join mission groups because you believe them when he/she says "I'll stay to the end of the mission if I can cap".

(2) Deleting a year old character because I wanted to try something different only to find I liked my old character build so I have to start over.

(3) Not asking ahead of time if everyone is carrying a rez sig in a group (followed closely behind by not asking Monks if they are healers to avoid the surprise smiters).

For all you that sold you black dye drop in pre for 1g count your blessings at least you got the 1g I dyed my starter sword on my first warrior. I was a little upset that you couldn't really see the effects. A little more when a better sword dropped my next time out. Shocked when I saw someone spam WTB all dyes 50g black 500g. Had to turn off the game for a day when I got to post and saw WTB all dyes 200g black 12k.

Buying new armour at every outpost until Droks (the hard way no runs). All the gold all the materials wasted

It took me way too long to figure out the whole "trade mountain troll tusks to collectors and get 125 gold for 5 rather than 40 gold (if you went to merchant)" thing.

jcapulet · Jan 25, 2007, 09:57 PM // 21:57

I once deleted a character who had 18K on her. Of course, I didn't realize until later that's what happened...oi.

i've done plentys of stupid stuff...like,

1. waay back when...me and a friend (both of us being 55 monks) were trying to see who had the most Demonic Remains, and i, at the time had 12 full piles and a pile of 127 ... and he was only almost finished with his 11th pile, so i said i was going to sell mine and start over...so when it came down to the last pile when i hit sell...i guess i lagged? b/c it didnt sell..so i double clicked "Sell" and ended up selling my pile of 54 ectos under it................................

2. (this one isnt completely on me) i was being a Healers Boon W/mo in RA, for fun ya...and we had just gotten our 7th consec, and the other warrior said "Nice, Good Job Monk" but our team consisted of R/Me; W/R; Me/N ; and me.....hahah

3. Couple weeks ago....Heros Ascent, Eurospiking, i was war...i Dash'd in...and Frenzy'd vs 3 Zaishen mesmers.........

4. Once Upon a Time when Sigils Were worth more than what they are now... I Sold My Sigils for 6.5k....the next day they were selling for 12k

5. Opened the HoH Chest before enemys were gone /doh

6. Thought Pre-Searing was fun.......................................

Failing at Villiany of Garlath for two straight months and then by changing one skill I completed it in one try. All I did was replace Power Spike with Rotting Flesh and I was unstoppable.

Smart thing that i've done: Not killing myself after playing factions.

ps. I hate Factions!

My continuation...

4. Finishing Factions. Talk about anti-climactic.

5. Trying to sell Shiro's swords for a guildmate. Those things are a curse.
Took me weeks to sell.

[DE] · Jan 26, 2007, 04:38 AM // 04:38

Deleted two rangers, one elementalist, and two warriors.

All with 15k armor.

(And I later remade a warrior and ranger)

....

Withdraw 100g onto a PvP character.
Invite a person into a guild.
Delete PvP character without checking.
Later find out I withdrew 100k and not 100g.

I was not very happy =/

I learned of GW while playing another RPG game. When I bought GW, I was told that the best way to learn the game basics was with W/Mo, and the game was PvE and PvP. I didn't like the idea of PvP, D2 ruined that. Anyways here goes.

Day 1, hour 1; Created a warrior. Ran around trying to figure out how to make it go where I wanted it to go, trying to read the tips and the conversations going on at the bottom of the screen. Finally got the first quest done, and got Frenzy and Healing signet. Talked to Devona, and the Scribe in Ashford. Back to Ascalon and got the 2nd profession quest. Chose monk, of course. Back to Ashford and completed the Monk quest. Took Monk as 2nd. Went to Ascalon to collect reward. Was told to see Tydus. I did and wound up "Leaving it all behind." Got my butt kicked in the academy PvP. When I arrived in post, I was under the impression that this was the PvP part of the game. I left the game, deleted that warrior and made another. Imagine my surprize when I learned ..............

The other day I decided to delete my monk and start fresh with a new monk. My monk had made it as far as Beacon's Perch and Level 13, so she wasn't a brand new character, but also wasn't one that I had invested a ton of hours into. I simply did not like her name or her appearance and it was worth it to start over.

Ok, I'm not totally stupid. I knew I didn't want to delete all the armor and items on her without selling and salvaging what I could first. I took her into the Ice Tooth Cave and sold all her items then stripped down and salvaged all the materials and runes that I could from the armor. I dumped the runes into storage and sold the excess materials to the merchant.

Next I logged out and deleted the monk.....before dumping her gold into storage. I was soo careful sell off everything she was holding but never dumped the gold I got from all of it.

I'll nominate this for funniest thing I've heard in chat for awhile...

I was Arborstone forming a team for the mission. We had 2 Warriors, 1 Ranger, 2 Rits, 1 Necro and a Henchie Monk. Before starting I asked who was going to carry the Urn. The Necro had already said that he had never done the mission before and would prefer not to carry if possible.

I'm not too familiar with the Ritualist profession, so I asked the group if a Rit could carry. One of the Rits said they couldn't because they have to carry ashes. Ok, np there. The other Ritualist replied....
"Idiot! Tanks carry! Tanks always carry the items! UR a nooob!"

Uh, no! We're kinda expected to fight a little bit. The entire team was laughing at him for 5 minutes.

Abnaxus · Jan 26, 2007, 04:19 PM // 16:19

Took my warrior to Kamadan.

Wanted to see how Sunspear armor looked like, and so I bought the 20g version.

Tried the new armor, liked it, so I decided to buy the max AL one in Consulate Docks.
To free inventory space and avoid confusion, I started salvaging the 20g armor pieces. Unfortunately, hadn't put off one piece of it, so I salvaged my 15k Kurzick chest piece with superior vigor, 50K net loss just with one click ...

Sold to merchant all my normal salvage kits, from then on I use only expert and superior.

idicious · Jan 26, 2007, 04:41 PM // 16:41

Sold bone dragon for 100g + 10 ecto instead of 100k + 10 ecto....... Dmn scammers, had bought for 100k + 10e hoping to make some prophit on it but found out later price had dropped a bit so was happy when someone offered that :S At least I now always check ten times before hitting accept.

Completed last mission of NF a second time in order to get primeval hood and chest for my Dervish, accidentally got hood and shoes..... The shoes don't look any better than the normal ones.

And I'll laugh at you, the tank holds the urn because as he engages aggro to tank things, he will take all the dmg, build up the urn to level 5, then drop it and procede to kill stuff and then when its finished, picks the urn up again, rinse and repeat, funny how you laugh at other people without knowing what you talking about huh?
