Dumbest thing you've ever done on this game

[kebas239]

Only three things really come to mind, all of which were minor setbacks but not game changing.

1) I sold my Crystal Chitin Armplates to a vendor by going WAY too fast. I clicked through a bag onto my equipped arm slot and hit sell. I realized I was doing it right as I clicked. Couldn't get it back from the vendor after sinking in about 500pp (I sold it to a widely used one), so I just ate it.

2) Drop transferred about 2k worth of gems/items and they were gone when I came back. Not sure if someone took them or they rotted.

3) Never trained forage on my druid and got to 60 with all my skill points spent. To this day I am unable to attain it.

Thankfully, I've never had anything else lost on a drop transfer or on one with someone doing it for me. I've probably been lucky but I also haven't attempted with anything more expensive than a fungi (and commonly, the items aren't even near that value).

Went afk in front of Kaesora and did not FD.

Was also bound there.

Came back to a pile of corpses and a 38 monk instead of a 41 monk. I still kill that fuckin skelly mob whenever i'm in FoB just out of spite.

I was saving up for an item and was super close to having enough to purchase it back when I was a kid on live. Just needed to sell one more item, but was having a hard time. found an interested party, but all his money was on one toon and he wanted the item on his current one. little alarm bells flew in my head and I was liek, "yeah, no." took him a good half hour or more to wear down my bulwark of skepticism and get at my overly agreeable nature. i handed him the item and predictably he did not return to pay me. the injustice infuriated me and I harassed him along with broadcasting his treachery to every zone I visited for months, until one time I happened upon him in pot. this time it was apparently his brother piloting the toon. he apologized profusely and handed me an item from his in entity that was worth liek 5x the value of what his brother had swindled from me. was pretty cool and impressed upon me the vital importance of persistence, slander and truth. also accidentally left off a zero from an item in another game and managed to convince the buyer to sell it back to me at a 10% mark-up, which wasn't bad considering it was only 1% that item's value. that was a long conversation.

I had a best friend growing up and he never liked playing the game. What he enjoyed, instead, was scamming people. Kind of disturbed me he got his kicks from this. And he was obscenely good at it. He would tell me these plans to get people to fork over their user name and password and I never thought they would work. But they would indeed work at an incredible rate.

I remember the first one. He invented some ranking system that had the name of an EQ God in it. Then he would have people message the ranking system(which he made a character account for) writing their username & password and idiots would send their username and password right over. I couldn't believe it but it would work like over 50% of the time.

Yeah that one IS especially painful

Sold a guildmate a COF for half price because he needed the upgrade (and attended the ixi I won it at).

They resold it out of guild 3 days later for full price.

On live back in 99/2000- at 14/15 years old i somehow managed to talk business on trading accounts with another person in EC tunnel. The account I traded for had a druid as the main, and he had a mana stone. I was young and didn't understand this games mechanics really at all. Long story short, i traded that mana stone for a robe of the ishva cause i used to think that robe was the shit.... Soooo that was dumb..

skipped a step in the eyepatch of plunder quest and turned it in too early. Nalot ate my stuff and I was sad
