What was the worst accidental mistake you've made in-game?

Latios · September 2018

So, today I was browsing around an achievement furnisher goods, and I saw a Gargoyle statue. I was curious to see what kind of statue it was and, when I was going to check it, I accidentally pressed E. It was.. 50,000 gold. Ouch. There is no sell back button, so now my home has a statue worth half it's price.
What about you guys? What was the worst accidental move, be it attacking an innocent, going out of sneak and losing a bunch of tel var stones, etc, you made in-game?

I have made many mistakes in years of playing. Most expensive was probably when I went to link a very high value furniture recipe in chat and accidentally learned it on a character that wasn't my crafter.

Maining a sorc for 4 years and seeing 3200hrs go down the train in one swoop 😢

Hal_Moore · September 2018

I made all my toons Ebonheart Pact at the beginning and upgraded all the horses and bag space. . .Then they lifted the alliance restrictions so I ended up deleted all but 4 EP toons. I now have 1 of each class on all 3 alliances.

deconned a weapon worth 200k .... I still believe one day I will find it and this was all my imagination.

mained my sorc for 1.5 years (only been playing since march 2017) and have 3200 hours of playtime on her too... i was addicted to this game so at least that will come to an end if this nerf goes live

bought something from the golden vendor for 250k gold i think, when i was supposed to use AP. i was sitting on over 3 million AP and just over 1 million gold so wasn’t too happy about that.

For longer than I'd like to admit I though it cost gold to fast travel no matter what. Didn't realize wayshine to wayshine was free

Kadoin · September 2018

Every build I've used on my mag templar since the build in some way, shape, or form has been nerfed for the last 7 patches. Wearing light armor on my templar was other biggest mistake.

Same! I lost hundreds of gold for months only to find out wayshrines were free!

Crafted a complete set of yellow gear and forgot to give any of the pieces traits. Started over and half the gear was 150 instead of 160 because ZoS hadn't gotten around to fixing that little annoyance at the time. Third set was good to go.

Sad thing is I did it at request of a PvP guild and less than two weeks later they changed their mind on what sets they wanted people to wear. I still used it most of the time in PvP anyway and just told them I was working on getting the other set any time they asked.

Runs · September 2018

Deconstructed 4 pieces of divine Vicious Ophidian thinking that it was a different set. This may have been right after the name change which would explain why I thought it was a different set.

HighKinlady · September 2018

sold ore for 1.5k per stack when I first started playing because I didn’t know what it was worth , and 1.5k at that time was a lot to me .

qbit · September 2018

I took all my gear off so I could preview a new tattoo I got from a free crown crate. Then I went about my usual process of deconning gear that I don’t need to research. Then went into battle and nearly died. Then I pulled up character screen and I was naked.

Second dumbest thing was playing in first person view exclusively for the immersion. Which allows you to run around naked and not realize it.

Then I learned about locking equipment when I got my first monster helm (ilambris thanks to an awesome individual I met on these forums that carried me through vCoH).

Now I don’t decon my working armor or run around naked anymore. 🤷‍♂️

Finally got my matching shoulders on undaunted key number thirty.

Salvas_Aren · September 2018

Bought the cipher together with 2 friends, just to find out its relevance was about to fade away. Now one has eaten it but no reason to use it for crafting.

Sold a lot of purple blueprints and motifs for 100g back then when I didn't use pricing and sales addons.

Traded two dusts for 2 yellow rings of Affliction.

I think that's it.

Smitch_59 · September 2018

Just last week I was shopping for a motif in the guild traders. It was late and I was tired, and I accidently wasted 70K gold on a motif I already knew. It was way overpriced so I'll never sell it for what I paid.

Buying a game that gets nerfed every dlc but remains glitchy af and has non-existent customer service. Other then that nothing I can really say~

fioskal · September 2018

My most expensive mistake was accidentally eating a polymorph worth several million gold at the time.

Numerikuu · September 2018

Accidentally deconing a mundus Skoria shoulder after spending forever looking for one. This was pre-CWC.

Amyxleexownsxu · September 2018

Deconned sets that were trash then but BIS now

lagrue · September 2018

Not using sets the entire like first year I played - and golding out a bunch of non-set heavy armors on a mage lol

Jesus was I dumb.

(In my defense this was my first MMO experience so the idea of sets in itself eluded me... as for armor I had just come off playing Oblivion and Morrowind so I had the idea about me I could just do what I want with no really big consequences... WRONG.)

HighKinlady · September 2018

I also thought food was overrated and that I never needed to put anything on my second bar for the first few months of playing

StrafeSinnlos · September 2018

Back when I was a noob:

I didn't know what trials were; I thought my only problem was not having 11 friends lol
Also, as probably everyone else at some point, I learned an expensive motif page on a non-crafter.

D0PAMINE · September 2018

I had snakeblood when the game launched. Such a useful passive.

phairdon · September 2018

Listed a gold Spriggan's item on a guild trader last year. In my haste, I did not look at the listed price. Someone picked up a real bargain. I missed out on quite a large sum of gold.

Has not deconed armor I use but has gotten into an dungeon nude, was leveling two alts who shared gear and used costume, did not notice she did not have weapon. felt pretty stupid.

MehrunesFlagon · September 2018

When Summerset dropped I decided to be lazy,and buy a bunch of purple jewelry.I should have been more careful.At least half of it was non deconstructable.Ended up costing a couple thousand gold.

zaria, you make me feel at home. Thanks!

I sold a gold Imperial Style motif for only 200 gold back when I was a noob. I didn't know they were rare, because I'd found two of them within a few weeks of each other my first month of playing, so I'd learned the first one, and sold the second for practically nothing.
It was a whole year-and-a-half before I found another one.

Amazing how rngeezus works

Finviuswe · September 2018

No wait, that isn't an option. no.
