I was trying for survivor the other day, my paragon was already at level 11, progressing steadily.. then lag kicked in, and in some weird way, I was killed (yes, weird... normally I don't die

) after that experience I decided to log out. 2 days later I decided to have another go at the whole survivor thingy and logged in to GW

I waved goodbye at my paragon and deleted her to make a new one... Not realising I also had a near perfect spear, shield, perfect green hammer, sword and a self made rago's flame staff on her.. (and about 10k of change...)

When I walked around Kamadan on my new paragon and saw someone who wanted to buy a Rago's flame staff I openend my inventory to show the guy what I had to sell... only to realise I had been really really stupid...

After that I just started to play my para outa frustration... made it to survivor really really quick for some reason ^^

My ranger had 15k druid's (with a superior vigor rune of course) among other things. That is, until I slammed a few too many jello shots and deleted her instead of my PvP ranger.

Oops.

My main mistake (and it still happens occasionally) is "typing in team chat" when its not active , only to look up at screen and see lots of open windows and underneath it all you have run miles forward and aggroed evrything in your path.

Tried to salvage out a +30 bow grip but got 5 wood.
Note: This was back when +30 grips were worth 70k+.

Sold an ecto for 7g to a scammer

Error 7'd after a black dye dropped

Error 7'd halfway through Sunspear Castellian

Sold black dye to a merchant for 1 accidently.

Deleted 5 sigils from a pvp character instead of putting them in storage.

That's what you get for drinking Jell-O shots...

Silliest mistake i am at fault is trying to orginize my runes, i have a lvl20 of each char, so when i get a rune ill put it in storage, then when i have time log onto the right char and take the rune and put it in a bag. in the process of this i deleted a couple superior vigs and blood a few times by having it to into trash instead of a bag =[

listening to a friend who said u can use armour on new chars if they had the same name. Remade a Warrior and Mesmer who had 15k armour so i could remake them with different secondarys (so i could get lots of free skills from quests rather than having to change secondary in dessert and buying all the skills, since i was broke at the time)

Bought a sup rune of scythe mastry on NF first day for 150k (i *was* rich ... then) putting in on the chestpiece then immediately overwriting it with a major rune of Mystiscm grrrrrr.

Bought 5 x white dye for my dervish on day 1 for 21k each - now worth 5k each

Hockster · Dec 18, 2006, 10:57 AM // 10:57

I sold a req. 8 15^50 chaos axe to the merchant instead of the 17% while hexed one I meant to sell.

The Silver Star · Dec 18, 2006, 11:03 AM // 11:03

I gave my brother all my 500 ectos, on his birthday because i forgot a present, however i stopped PvE anyway it sucks <3.

The moral of the story is this:
GW needs a buy-back option a la WoW.
I too have made many such mistakes, only recently selling a superior death rune at the marchant, and selling one of my build oriented axes I lovingly crafted back in Factions (although secretly I was happy about that one; Factions crafter axes were poo in the looks department).
Nothing on the scale of crafting multiple pieces of FoW boots mind.
Ouch, that's gotta hurt.

A simpler method would simply to have an optional confirmation dialog when attempting to sell orange/green items. Possibly other things too, like runes/upgrades, which don't even vendor for a price that justifies the use of a salvage kit charge.

Another way could be to simply change the interface to selling to a sort of "bulk sale" interface a lot of RPGs use, where things are moved into a sell list and then the entire list is sold at once, giving you the opportunity to alter the list before you finally sell it all.

Prices always decrease exponentially. Never get something when it first comes out if you don't wanna feel ripped off later. I look forward to when rubies/sapphires are 1k each and my Vabbian armor is worth a tiny fraction of what it is now.

Hey, they were good jello shots! Besides, the only other thing to drink was Labatt, and I hate Labatt.

Sold an old non-max rare crystalline to merchant due to lag ( dropped from keyless chest outside ventari's refuge )

Haha, so many people are going to be checking out Ventari's Refuge for an unlocked chest... *cough*

Anyway, I've had my fair share of merchant miss-sells and miss-deletions, including but not limited to:
1) A piece of my monk's 15k armor
2) A black dye
3) A character.

Yep, accidentally deleted (still don't know how) my monk... I actually wasn't too upset, he was pretty ugly. I remade him into a much better looking female canthan monk, but I was still pretty pissed because he had a fair amount of nice items on him >_<

Westofeden · Dec 18, 2006, 12:29 PM // 12:29

I got to lvl 19 with my ranger with out dying then lag got me. Didn't really matter though he was Canthan so it didn't take too long.

Thalion Galad · Dec 18, 2006, 12:54 PM // 12:54

Hi all

ehehe

Deleted a pvp char full (all 4 bags) of stuff , greens, golds, materials, etc...
Now i have a post-it on my monitor saying ''DONT DELET CHAR's DUMB...''

/happy

jimmy_logic · Dec 18, 2006, 01:37 PM // 13:37

Disable bags and all your problems should go away... I know mine did.

Astro Hikaru · Dec 18, 2006, 01:43 PM // 13:43

tanked craploads of lvl28 dervishes in DoA as the only obsidian flesh tank of my party.

when they're all dead and the dust settled, i realized my warrior was been fighting without any pants on. i actually forgot to wear it back after taking it off for faster suicide (vigor rune on it) through gates.

no wonder those little dervish balls kept running away from me!

Belicosos Finos · Dec 18, 2006, 02:10 PM // 14:10

I had a mesmer that I wasn't happy with. So promptly cleared out her inventory, moved money to storage and deleted her. A month or so later realised I didn't check what she was carrying. And I know for certain she had a rather nice gold shadow staff on her. I hate to think how many of the other characters Ive deleted, that I have forgotten to check what they are carrying.

MrTumnus · Dec 18, 2006, 02:14 PM // 14:14

I sometimes type in team mode when I'm alone (like in pre-searing); I almost instinctively just it ctrl 3 and start typing. I've even started doing that when on msn. :/
