What's the stupidest thing you've ever done in EvE?
Today I just bought a Large Shield Extender II for 800 mil thinking it was 800k. I think the moment before I hit the buy button a little voice in my head was like "nooooooooooo!!!!" but it was too late.... |

That wasn't a little voice in your head, it was the warning pop-up that tells you the product is way over market value.

Wasting all my unallocated skill points on some Amarr rubbish ( just to play around with their battleships and weapons) instead of spending them on those lvl5 skills I should have. |

Yeah I actually knew it was way over market value (but not by 799 million), and was like yeah yeah go away little box... |

When I was a newbie I was a hisec miner. Some guy in a Thorax canflipped me so I grabbed my trusty missioning Caracal, expecting to kick his ass because I had done so well against rats. http://eve.battleclinic.com/killboard/killmail.php?id=16274711
A few days later while trying to make some money to buy a new Caracal I jumped into lowsec for the first time on a trading run. I didn't realize how dangerous lowsec could be and jumped in unscouted in a mammoth. http://eve.battleclinic.com/killboard/killmail.php?id=4293759 |

Many broker accounts like ETrade have specific buyer protection automatically setup so that when you buy something you don't make a mistake.
It is amazing that this is one of the MAJOR things that CCP knows needs to be fixed and doesn't. They need to at least allow you to set your own threshold or limit when purchasing an item. So you don't end up ripping yourself off.
Especially with the text so small - the option to make it larger doesn't work because in some menus the text is so large that it cuts off the entire menu and does not branch off ( like your windows start button menu ). This is also a fail CCP needs to fix. |

Last night I accidentally listed a Large Shield Extender II for 800 million. Brokers fee is high on that. Oh we'll. I'll adjust the price later tonight when I get home.

I've never made a terrible mistake but I came close once. When I first started playing, I had saved up about 450m ISK and I went to Jita to buy a Caldari Cruiser skill book but I accidentally clicked on Caldari Carrier instead. Luckily the book was around 465m so I was just slightly short of cash, otherwise the sale would have gone through. |

Ouch! That is like the epitome of stupidity.

Well, I'm very new, so plenty of time to make bigger mistakes ;-)
Worst so far was doing a plex with my (very expensive at the time) Vexor, and when I was almost in hull decided to go to a belt to restore my cap and repair the armor.
Was so tired that literally felt asleep on the keyboard, only to wake up a later on my pod surrounded by a couple of NPC frigs. |

OT.
On another char, jumped a carrier in, solo, to take out 2 triage, a dread and 50 odd subs.
Warped to guns and SB'd as many as I could before getting taken out by my own guns.

They were NOT having my tower cheaply. NO. I lost countless ships and millions of isk on gank attempts. I did not blame CCP, Concord or the miner. I blamed me for bothering. I made more money.......... mining.

Decided to try out my Osprey for mining in PF-346
P.S. Those latest losses on the toons KB are definitely not mine, if you check them out. I was some time before that. My last fight was with Major Thrasher on that toon.

Getting mad at the inventory log thing of station containers that won't let you repackage them and just trashing them.. while forgetting all the packaged ships that you left them. About 500mil isk of wisdom g ained.
Fitting a C5 shield booster to a Macharial and running off to do a L4 mission with jamming and scram frigates only to find out that the C5 shield booster comes in all sizes and discovering that you had fit a medium one. If I tried to make a type of coffee that made all of you happy, and you rated it, the group score for it would be about 60 out of 100. Break into 3 or 4 coffee clusters, and made coffee just for each cluster, the scores would go from 60 to 78. The difference between coffee at 60 and coffee at 78 is a difference between coffee that makes you wince or makes you happy. |

Letting someone who has never used a cyno before (or dealt with capital logistics in any way) light one for my carrier with billions worth of ships and mods in it.
Thank god the pirates he was antagonizing were hiding a long warp away... and that my carrier didn't land so far from the undock radius. Change isn't bad, but it isn't always good. Sometimes, the oldest and most simple of things can be the most elegant and effective. |
