Hey guys, the game has been out a while, and I know that I've done quite a few stupid things since I have been playing and I'm sure you all have too! So let's share some laughs and cries. I'll start out.

-I sold a superior vigor rune the first couple weeks the game was out for 18k only to have them skyrocket shortly after to 100k+

-back when furs where worth something, I farmed them all night, only to sell my stack of 10 when i was selling the other drops.

-and my most recent one, I spent 22k on a weapon then proceded to customize it for the wrong character!

Let's hear yours, there's bound to be some really good ones out there.

First week of the game, I sold a superior vigor for 16,800g I still feel rotten about that.

Yesterday I unlocked a sup vigor for the 2nd time, I feel bad for that since others in my guild have yet to unlock it.

...proceeded to sell that for only 75k because I was impatient.

And then, I went into Fissure of woe on my monk with a full inventory... T.T

Looted a yellow beastmaster's harness and 10 minutes later used a general salvage kit on it by mistake while trying to salvage some dwarven armor to make some space...in the middle of fighting a mob.

I'm notorious for finally getting good weapons and then accidentally selling them >.< It happens all the time.

Like a lot of new players I wasted dye on pre-Searing armour because I only thought it was worth the advertised price of 1G...

I'm also forever buying stuff I don't need from traders because I double-click where I should just be clicking. It's way to easy to buy/sell stuff you don't want with the interface the way it is.

Bought a superior marksmanship rune for many thousands and literally five minutes later...i unlocked one from a monster

Went on an adventure with some people i picked up. Luckily my healing was up to scratch because i forgot the resurrect!!

Well the stoopid stuff I have done is when in a middle of a nasty battle I go to hit my Healing Breeze and realize that I moved it to another spot. I end up clicking on something else that does me NO good and waste my "Blue Juice". Then I end up dying. Or I hit the T key in a melee battle and notice that I am just standing there because for some reason you have to hammer on the darn T key to get it to work. Nothing worst then having a warrior just standing there when there is work to be done.

EDIT: Speaking of Chat boxes, that reminds me. In a battle wondering WHY I am not doing anything. I realize that my chat box is open and All I see is this: / / / / / / / / / / *sigh* Man that realy irritates me to no end.

Start typing in the chat box after a battle, only to find that my character is running into a mass of red dots.

Stupid chat box flaws.

Can't type fast enough to say what happened, thankfully we survived and then everyone had a chance to call me an idiot, while I tired to explain.

This is really bad when you are a monk. And X person needs healing pretty bad. So you hit like 1,2,3,4. Nothing happens. Then I look in the chat window and its like 1234232 .....*inappropriate word*
Its usually when I am trying to give instructions to the people in my PUG, and one decides he wants to run away and attack something and need healing. heh.

I've also sold rune armor by accident, used the regular salvage kits on them.

Deleted the wrong character....My PvP monk looks almost identical to what my PvE monk looked like. I was in a hurry to remake a character for a GvG match and apparently did not realize even when I typed in the RP character's name. She was lvl 17, runed out, new armor, my dye mule (about 9 assorted dyes gone), with an excellent max dmg purple staff.

i had a Gold Max Damage Longsword +15% While Health is above 50%, with a 20% Chance for Swordsmanship +1.

i sold it for 100k so i could get a superior vigor.

i am not one of those people who think "oh man i could have gotten 200k if i pushed".

what i really should have done was customized it

Biggest blunder I did was lock myself in the European servers in the first day of release. I was pre order so had mine on the Thursday a day before. Severs were empty so was changing between servers as fast as possible and BANG without realising there was a 5 move rule got locked in Euro Disney. My Guild was in America (old friends from Enemy Territory) And I was forced to Quit the guild due to the problems with teaming up
