What was your biggest /facepalm moment?

We all have them, don't try to say you don't. A wrong turn here, driving off a bridge there, should have zigged when you zagged... What was it for you when you put you face in your hands and wondered what the hell were you thinking?

Mine was on my very first toon, a Imperial Agent. I was running around in awe of SWTOR. Actual conversations with NPCs! Missions that made sense! Space ships and guns/light sabers instead of swords and sorcery!!! And in all this I missed something very important.

I made it all the way to level 30 without taking anything in my advanced class... I got my advanced class in the fleet, just didn't think to click on the advance class tab at the trainer! The trainer always had that little plus sign showing I had new abilities to learn but in the general tab there wasn't anything, must have been a bug, or so I thought. I had to totally relearn my class, and oh she killed so much more effectively!!

Not getting your advanced class is one thing, many people seem to miss the mission when they get to the fleet. But missing the advance class abilities tab for 20 levels is truly a /facepalm moment.

Running out of spawn in old huttball, as a commando. Up the ramp I go. Top, by the light post, Jugg leaps to me, throws me back down, leaps to me again. Stun, score.

My friend via voice-chat: "Wow. That Jugg just made you his bit ch". Me ""

Got my first toon (Guardian Tank) to lvl 50 and went into EV for the first time.
After killing SOA someone whispered me saying "cool lightsaber, where'd you get it?" I started to reply that it was the free Black/Yellow I got for pre-ordering the game when FacePalm

I leveled from 1-50 completely solo, never qued for flashpoints and did few heroics with others. When I was a low level 50, totally convinced that I was awesome (had recently become an officer in my RP guild) a guildmate invited me to help kill dreadtooth on section x. So my sniper, never been in an ops group, shows up on section x in a group of 16 where we kill what I assume was 1stack dreadtooth (which I've killed in a group of four recently). Upon downing the creature, with adrenaline still pumping through my veins, I hastily click need on all of the loot, winning everything, prompting cries of outrage from the group. How could a level 50 not know basic need/greed rules? Guess I was just ignorant... Months later I still look back and laugh.

Mine is having 3 Tundra Nekarr Cats, when I just started playing (bought them for 4,000 or so, thought they were epicly cute), and selling them for only 70k Before I found out they were rare and worth millions!!!!! /cry

It continues to be the people over level 30 that still use their knockbacks irresponsibly. Also, when I type a paragraph letting people know a strat, and then someone blatantly counters that. Sadly, when that happens, I go and get a drink or go to the bathroom. Some days....

Biggest facepalm? Ok, so, when I first started, I died a lot. Nothing unusual about that, right? It's just that I found I was constantly spending credits on new armor because mine kept getting destroyed. Yes, that's right, I never noticed the repair option on the vendors! I don't remember what level I figured this out, but it was far later than it should have been. Fortunately, it was all basic leveling crud that I lost, so no big deal. But, man, did I feel stupid about that.

The first time I woke up next to my current boyfriend. Haven't been able to get rid of him for nearly 25 years, he just won't go away

Oooohhh, you meant in game, um yeah, that. Most of the time it's when I don't pay attention and run off a platform of one or another either on fleet or the taxi platform of Dromund Kaas. And I think almost all of us have accidentally summoned the Pilgrim on Voss at one point or another. Hey look a glowy clicky thing, what does that do?
I'll tell you what, then. Why don't you call me some time when you have no class?

Heck yeah! I thought it was a lore object. Oops!
