When you were a beginner what was the most riduculous question you asked and which you now look back on and think "why did I say that?"
The one which sticks in my mind is when after I got the storage task, I went through the chat thing asking if someone would take me to a Xunlai Agent. Now looking back I feel rather ridiculous.
Anyone else going to share their embarrasment?

"Help! My vision is all floaty! And why can't I stand up?"

My pre-searing experience was rather gentle, and the first person I met in Old Ascalon was a W/R doing a test run all the way to Droks. He and his friend, and the other people being run, showed admirable patience in answering my questions. For example, I thought "droks" were very special animals that would help you somehow.

I still remember the awe I felt when I zoomed out on the large map.

The manuscript that came with the games isn't exactly helpful. One of mine was:

What are all those blue figures and numbers doing on top of everyone? Is there a way to remove it?

Bad thing is usually no one answers.

When I was a beginner I got a lot of wrong answers to simple questions I asked, such as order of enchantment removal, ability to stack hexes (was a necro at the time and always casted life siphon first), or inate AP on hornbows, so I stopped asking and tested/researched things myself.

My most ridiculous/embarrassing question asked would have been during my second GvG. I was on my ranger harrassing the other team's ele they sent back to help on a 3-man gank where someone had fired the catapult and took out 2 guildmates. Being the ingenious sob that I am, I made sure to stay just outside the range of where the last catapult landed......only to get smoked during the next few launches. After some brief raging on vent about how far I was from the last shot and questioning on how often the server checks player position, someone politely pointed out to me that where the cats hit is actually *random*. Yea, that was cool

Heh, two years into the game and I'm still asking stupid questions!

"Why can't I see anyone?" springs to mind. Took a while before someone in Ascalon showed enough pity to explain the whole instanced-map thing.

No stupid questions from me, but there's one thing I feel a bit silly about.

Before I started playing, I was reading through the skill descriptions from the Guild Wars website and considering what profession to play. When I got to [wiki]Muddy Terrain[/wiki], I misread it as speed boots have no effect. "Speed boots huh, sounds nice to have" I thought and went off to play, thinking where could I find a pair of those. I did forget them eventually as I progressed in the story, so it never ended up as a stupid question.

I've just remembered one from my partner, uttered during a very early beta weekend:

"I wonder what effect red dye gives?"

This was after he'd spent the weekend utterly convinced that the purple dye he'd added to his warrior boots increased his attack power. He'd extrapolated this into a belief that different coloured dyes would produce different bonuses when applied.

I got called a noob for asking what i still see as a valid question myself:

"Why does everyone want someone to play the game for them?"

was in regards to seing so many people asknig for runners.

When I was first in Pre Searing I thought the Trade Channel was the Whisper Channel, so I would PM everyone who spammed in Trade to STFU, I'm not interested... then I somehow figured it out where the Whisper Channel was really at(at least before I left).
