What funny, newby things did you first do when you started WoW?

[Fadees]

Started as a Night Elf Rogue back in TBC, and was under the impression the game had a linear, platform-like structure, so I ran off Teldrassil thinking it would take me to the next area and then rolled a human.

Worst one though, was shortly after LK was released, and I first got interested in raiding. I was searching for raids and got lucky one night and got into a Naxx10 alt run with the top raiding guild on my server. I was ecstatic and intimidated. We down Anub'Rekhan in one shot, then comes the part where I was completely unfamiliar with loot rules in raiding. The need/greed screen comes up and I see a pair of gloves that are a nice upgrade, so I greed them, thinking I'll just be rolling against a few others. To my horror, everybody else in the raid passed and I was immediately kicked. I promptly messaged the raid leader and apologized. A day later, I did a name change. ._.;

Going "I'll AOE these sucker bears down" in Darkshore at level 15 or something with my warrior, going all thunder clap on their arses. Oh, and for a long time I bought the white armour from the vendors, yeah I was that wealthy and 1337.

[Nazgrax]

I spread my talents between the 3 trees without even going 5/5 in each talent. 7/8/10 build goooo!

[StickYou]

As a hunter....my first toon..........at lvl 70...........I didn't know what kiting was.

[Paladin885]

back in early 2006, I never learned about the game because I assumed it was just like City of heroes and/or WC2/3... so I never learned about talents or specs. Until i was around lvl 35-40, when I started tanking SM a lot.

Also, I used to think shield bashing and retaliation were the coolest things since sliced bread

My boyfriend recruited me to the game. He helped me create a rogue and I found it very good to open all fights with my throwing weapon and afterwards run away while he killed them. I also created a mage and thought that I was very intelligent to try to kill the "enemies" with my staff.

i use to get completely lost in deadmines... thats fun lol... couldnt find the entrance

[Trubo]

Made a druid solely because of Feline Swiftness or whatever it was called back then since it let me get a 30% movement speed buff at 21. Then at 30 just ran everywhere in travel form because I didn't have enough to buy the riding training and 60% speed mounts at 40. Don't think I bought a 60% speed mount until 60, as I just didn't see myself ever getting enough gold to buy the 100% speed mounts.

After that, tried to make a rogue 19 bg twink. Had most of the gear for her too but never could get a group to run WC since I was alliance. Still have that character, shame they nerfed Assassin's Dagger.

[Heldamon]

Walked from Theramore to Teldrassil through barrens. Then found out about the "other" ship.

[Sharrel]

Grinded on mobs instead of questing.

Actually did that a lot on my DK. not that i didn't know how to quest.. but i only played her when i didn't feel like thinking and she killed things so fast it wasn't funny. so i'd just kill stuff in hellfire in a sort of mental haze.

[rishu]

Level'ed much (up till 80-ish?) of my first toon, a "shadow priest", by killing mobs with Penance and generally nothing else... derp.

[Flatspriest]

i use to get completely lost in deadmines... thats fun lol... couldnt find the entrance

There's an entrance? I still get lost in some of the dungeons and I've been playing for years.

[Sills]

Walked from Theramore to Teldrassil through barrens. Then found out about the "other" ship.

Ive done that too. I felt so stupid when I found out about the other ships around the world.

Another thing was that on my first character (a warrior) all I did was stack stamina because I figured the more health I had the more powerful I would be in battle (???????????????????? wha?????? yeah....I know....)

[Deleted]

uh embarrasing... probably the most newbie thing of everything possible lol, i thought killing critters could get you banned, i thought sorry for the deers running around, especially the ones with little kids, if i saw some1 killing them or if i killed em myself i always expected a ban or a warning lol, dam i were stupid..

[Deleted]

All sorts of stupid crap I presume when I was -10 (my English back then was veeeery poor, so I had to learn everything the hard way) and I still kept using a 1h+oh until level 40something, 'cause of the stats.. >.<
Edit: Feeling like it's worth mentioning > I was a druid

[Deleted]

I always kept my heartstone in teldrassil untill i was about level 50
i knew it was a safe place to return to

[Squaddles]

Firstly, putting myself on an oceanic realm even though I'm American.. screwed me over hard until realm transfers came out lol

I started out as a Tauren Hunter.. Thought 100 melee damage was great for dual wielding swords. Didn't even know quests existed until level 30-40 (I came from the game Tibia originally, which is extremely monster-grind oriented.)

[Viradiance]

Didn't eat food until level 60ish playing a Rogue. I'd fight one mob at a time (Sinister Strike combat with daggers!), didn't use poisons, and waited in stealth until my health recovered. I never used Slice and Dice, either.

Also: a friend of mine has been a rather decent player for the last four years. He only learned a few months ago that you didn't -have- to match gem socket bonuses (he was inspecting my Rogue, where we had the same piece of gear. "Wait, how the hell do you have a red gem in that blue socket?")

[Deleted]

Hm, things like buying a complete armorset without stats from a vendor, and being proud of it. Furthermore.. Falling off the Undercity elevator, twice in a row.

[Statix]

I equipped a very rare item worth a lot of gold I had found while questing, not knowing it would become Soulbound.

I put a very rare item on the Auction House before checking its value. Turns out, I could have made about 3k more gold.
