    Black Ice Shaping Booster Pack 1500 Zen or 750k - what a waste. Everything was green and could have been bought for far less - I supose I made a bit back on the "green gauntlet" way overpriced on the AH - but hey at least I got some extra crafting out of it - the problem is my other toon with no extra gauntlet caught up pretty quick!

    Now have so much Black Ice and no main hand.

    I made like 8 million selling the PVP artifacts when mod3 first came out and you could still sell them.

    Somehow managed to spend all of that without even upgrading my rank7s to 8s...

    All I have left to show for it are some epic artifacts on my HR which I won't even be playing in mod4.

    Easy come easy go.

    will you let me go?

    In all seriousness though, the worst I've done was buying an aparatus mod2. Don't remember how much that was but it was a waste.

    I wish we could "tag" an item/stack and it becomes unsellable/undiscardable until "untagged".

    I was splitting some blue mark stacks, it's a thing I do dozens of times a day, I accidentally hit the single "empty" pixel between 2 item slots in the inventory, the "want to discard?" popup has the exact same graphics as the "want to split?". Discarded like 50 blue marks for some 300k AD.

    One day I'll find whoever designed the NW UI, offer him a beer, slip some laxative in his glass, and when he runs to the toilet i will yell "hey, are you hurrying to make another UI?".

    Great idea.

    I did EXACTLY the same thing myself a few days ago. Only lost 3 Blue Marks of Potency but to me 75K AD is a fairly significant sum :(

    Wonders of Gond Event, I had a pretty rich zen pool and thought I could make some handsome profit by doohickeys so bought lots of blueprints and refined doohickeys for later selling and for my alts, I posted them 5 attached to a mail to myself and then started to clean my mailbox deleting the AH messages, then I think a new message came and the order of the messages changed, when I realized this I had deleted 5 doohickeys which was at that time 1300000 X 5, 6.5 million AD.
    I will never delete any messages in my mailbox.

    Argggh. And here was I was feeling bad about losing 75K...

    I have heard of people who accidentally deleted their Perfects though, so at least you are not the worst off.......

    I destroyed an Armores Polarbear od the lord by accident. I got it from the old recharge event and it was bind to character and i thought i would get it for every character... sad me... after a few days they changed the rules of this item and it was clear that i destroyed 20+ million ADs.


    After 4 Weeks of hard negotiation with the support i could get it back.

    70k-150k (can't remember correctly how much exactly it was) to transmute gloves to Fabled Iliyanbruen and realised they completly did not match Robes of Wrath completly so I had to transmute the gloves again because they were just soooo ugly in my opinion I couldn't stand it

    500k when upgrading an idle pet. I thought I was activating it. It's a pet that I never use (the pig from the festival event)
    200k when buying zen (yes it was long ago) for a char slot and creating a gwf.

    If you mean unintentional, it would be hitting finish on a task in leadership and thinking I was hitting collect.

    My fault (Note to self, more coffee and slow down the clicking)

    If you mean things I have bought that turned out not so wise, I would say companions, and gear pieces that I then realized I already had sitting in my bank or somewhere and had to try to resale the item.

    No worries though, it is just a game, when It upsets me, I just get up, go walk the dog, or do something IRL until I am ready to come back and not upset.

    A game upsetting me is just something I will walk away from every time until it doesn't. Life is far to short, there are to many vitual and real life things to do to ever let something like clicking finish etc really bother me. If worse comes to worst I can always just work a few more days / weeks and replace whatever I messed up.

    Then again I am older than a lot of player and even the developers and just don't do upset anymore.

    Ya'll have fun out there.

    Unbinded a Purple Runestone, was not paying attention and it cost me 174K or thereabouts in AD. Always look twice now.

    How do you unbind something?

    It's just in the right-click menu. Costs gold now and not AD, but back in the day it was crazy expensive.

    Meant to bid on a Laughing Skull and ended up buying it. But, it'll probably end up useful if I roll up a CW and need a defender :)

    you do know it is only an 60% chance with all mithrils? that means you will still waste dragon eggs as you wont succeed that often

    While there was some serious ingame lag I deleted emty mails, resulting in deleting enchants, companions etc. for more than 2 million ADs.

    Upgrading R8 to R9 and the game did not register the preservation ward, lost one R8 and 2 greater marks of potency.

    Last but not least an guildmate downloaded an app for his mobile to use the gateway. It was maleware, he lost all items on his account and we lost all valuables in our guild vault, bc at that time all guildmates had unrestricted access.
    Chars: CW, DC, GF, GWF, HR and TR.

    I was so angry once, when i was soloing the pvp daily quest in Icewind and a horde of permas run over me and we first decided not to fight, but after a few minutes they fell over me and 10vs1 of course i died, that when i wanted to upgrade my artifact, i discarded it by mistake.

    Well, personally I don't remember losing any AD, because i'm a maniac who always verify twice before doing anything which cost a lot :).

    I think they should have it so you can cancel work orders. Its stupid to accidentally start something or not be able to change your mind without it costing AD

    So yesterday I accidentally started a 6 hour leadership task, went to cancel it and accidentally hit the 'completely stupid it's even there as the prices are beyond insane' "Finish" button and blew about 24k AD (so a whole days worth of grinding) to get 3 refugees straight away. I contacted support straight away and just received my answer of "stiff ****".

    So I'm curious, what's the most AD you've wasted in a single go and what on?

    Me: 24k AD on 3 refugees.

    On a side note, it's pretty terrible customer service that they can't refund you, hell I'd be happy enough with 24k AD worth of Zen credit.

    Took me about a month and a half of selling myself stuff on the Auction house to transfer AD between chars on the same acct. before i realized i could place zen order in zax on one and recall on another...
    I traded 500k ad on the zax and used some leftover zen to buy 10 keys and made around 180 k back.
    Last but not least i bought a main hand a few months back and was intending on transmuting my main hand to it.
    Long story short I was immediately in the market for another main hand as mine now had the stats of a transmute.
