What's the dumbest thing you've ever done in-game?

geonsocal

yesterday stopped in the middle of a zerg battle to switch up my rotation...

I know that must have been one happy nightblade who noticed me staring off into space and then killed me...

Too embarrased to say as it will be the dumbest thing posted.

Lol.

"No."

Depositing 70k gold accidentally into a defunct guild bank. It's still sitting there...

I didn't get in video, but I had literally just transmuted and upgraded it too.

I basically stopped playing for a couple of weeks after that.

Died to a murcrab....

My 2nd death on my first day was to 3 mudcrabs. First death 5 minutes before that was to slaughterfish. I was off to a great start

Golded out gear that in hindsight wasn't all that useful.

Golded level 10 item
Though items were bound to Character instead of Account
Made - then Deconned a Gold Kevatch Gladiator set.
Watched outdated Youtube build and made a build that was worthless.
Grinded IC Sewers for something like 500k Telvar and finally got Vicecannon Jewelry & weapons only to realize the buff was for crouch not stealth in general.

Took one hundred plus bits of armour out of a guild bank to try on the different sets and to see what combonations would make my stats highest. This was back when martial knowledge was the go to set, so I had lots of that out of the bank.

Tried it all on, found a set I liked and then tried to put all the armour back in the guild bank... well yeah... it was now all bound.

The GM was not happy.

Gilvoth

i created and Golded up an entire set that was the wrong CP, and then after having wore it for a while realized what happened.

Violynne

Deleting the first character I ever made. A Khajiit stamBlade. Had all research (except Nirnhoned), tons of motifs learned, and (at the time) was a Vet 12. Why did I delete it? Because back then, stamBlades sucked. I still cry over it. Now that I think about it, this is the dumbest thing I've done in the game.

I'm depressed now.

Tried to jump into the ocean and missed.

When I was new to Cyrodiil, I assumed that resources and keeps fully flipped as soon as the flags were complete. I didn't realize there was an offensive tick so I just ran off, missing out on all the exp and AP.

Also, before anyone told me how delve buffs worked, I nuked the boss with rapid fire before everyone had a chance to get their hit. I was promptly removed from the group and chewed out by some very unhappy guild members.

I've come close to deleting my NB in the past but I'd grown attached to it.

The good news is you can remake it pretty easily! Don't have to level each char through Vet lvls anymore.

You should always run away from mudcrabs!

Ocean_Charlie9

So many dumb things xD But the best was at the beginning of the game, in the tutorial. When you defeat your 1rst mini boss and the Prophet summon the portal to escape Coldharbour Prision, you must wait to be teleported right? Well, this fluffy khajiit was so excited to play the game that jump off right to the big hole and die. 10/10 best start of a game ever.

NeroBad

Leraning the hardway that, when you resist arrest with a big bounty and die, it didn't vanish, but collected from your dead body (when I had small bounty I didn't noticed it).

Thanks for sharing, everyone, it's so nice to share a chuckle at our less than stellar moments. We're sure you all bounced back in no time, and speaking of bouncing back, we've definitely run off of more cliffs than we'd like to admit.

I've fallen off a cliff unintentionally while getting surveys done a could days ago... yeah speed boost plus picking up a survey in wrothgar equals flying off the cliff >.> on a side note I have a suggestion to relocate one of the surveys because you can accidentally fly off the cliff when picking them up... Enchanting survey 3 in wrothgar >_>'

Aurielle

That feeling when you craft and upgrade a full set of armour (using gold glyphs!), and then notice when you go to equip it you forgot to add traits... Also, that feeling when you’re crafting a full set of armour and only notice three pieces in that you forgot to actually select the set. *derp*

Ragged_Claw

A friend sent me the mats to craft a Nirnoned gold set piece in Daggerfall Covenant style, I wondered what that style looked like, so I tried it on...

I try not to do any of those.
I suppose the dumbest thing was back when Kes was just starting, and going hunting - attacking a random crocodile on the eastern glenumbra coast, without checking further, only to realize I just picked a fight with a world boss...

Buying the crown store adept starter pack. 1-2 days later it got discounted by 50%. 500 crowns down the drain.

That could occasionally happen even when done right, especially to AD characters who were dropped into that tower on Kenarthi's Roost.

Narvuntien

Bought a level 25 silks of the sun inferno staff for 100K... I was in a hurry as the sever was about to go down and I thought i saw a deal.

Still I will never buy from that trading guild ever again... because I am still a little mad.

Sweetpea704

I accidentally joined an RP guild. The guy said, "Do you know how to play your role?" I'm thinking he means, you know, like tank, DPS, healer - that kind of role. I started reading the copious guild rules - certain ranks were only aloud to wear certain things, that kind of stuff. I start thinking "What planet am I on here?" I dropped the guild.
Not that there is anything wrong with RP. Just not my cup of tea.

It took me over 2 years of playing to realize there was a "buy multiple" option on siege vendors.

Previously, I clicked 100 times to buy 100 repair kits.
