What was your biggest /facepalm moment?

My personal biggest facepalm moment ?

- Going to the H4 in Sector X from the Republic Base and managing to stray from the path and land in the lava ...

- In Huttball, throwing a ball into a place where a team mate had been standing, but was gone already because I had been too slow with throwing ...

- In GSF, flying into numerous structures, rocks etc. at the attempt to evade attackers ... Happens minimum 1 x per match ...

My more recent /facepalm moment....A few BBAs ago, I was fighting the droid henchman on Kaas, on the bridge, where he pops up. I was unaware of this guys knock back.... I could see my house as I fell a long long ways down


I now line of sight pull him around the broken down vehicle near the bridge.

...the third time I drove off the same lift on Balmorra and plummeted to my death.

My face-palm, or rather head slap occurred on Hutta when I was trying to retrieve a datacron -- that one on the island only reachable by the aerial pipes. Coincidentally, I have retrieved that particular datacron many times before without a problem.

However, I hadn't played the game in a couple of years and my MS has gotten worse. So on that day I tried continuously for 2-1/2 hours. Finally, I'd had enough, was in tears, utterly frustrated, and had vocally said to myself "this is the last try." Of course, I ran right through it without issue.

A couple of HOURS?

How on Earth is that possible?!

Like a lot of you I'm guilty of trundling off taxi pads and cliffs many times. I have two contenders for biggest facepalm though.
The first happened a few weeks ago. I intended to buy an account wide cargo bay tab unlock on the GTN. I picked up what I thought was it for 700k or so early one morning. I was horrified when it refused to redeem and gave the message that I had already unlocked the cargo bay. Its turns out it was the item that unlocks the cargo bay itself, which subs and preferred get for free. I was pretty upset because I figured I'd never be able to sell it again (I mean f2p players can't even get 700k and it's much easier to buy something on the cartel market to go preferred than find a sub who'll buy it for you). I eventually was able to sell it at a reduced price, but lost about 200k in the process. Since then I never buy any expensive items early in the morning.
My second face-palm moment is even more dumb. Recently my main reached level 50 and I discovered the Makeb planetary comm trader on the fleet. Thinking it was a good time to upgrade, I sold all the rest of my non-modifiable armor and removed and sold the mods from the rest of my armor. I knew that my main didn't have enough planetary commendations to buy a full set of mods but thought my level 21 alt (who had cybertech) could make up the difference considering he had about 70 commendations. But when Iogged in with him I found that he was not allowed to purchase mods higher than his level with planetary comms. My main was forced to run around with largely unmodded armor and and do low level heroic missions farm those commendations.

Summon the world boss on taris and I thought I found a secret champion and spent an hour trying to kill it before I gave up... Damn mandalorian pride!!!

I've spent several millions of credits with my leveling Assassin (who i was planning to make my new main character) on cartel packs so i could raise my reputation high enough to buy a marauder-looking chest off the reputation vendor (the one which looks like a robe with a cape). Then, i've spent another 1-2 millions on a black-purple dye for it. Then, when i've finally assembled my set, i've realized that the said chestpiece loks like crap from the close range - very blurred and not detailed. Not to mention it was bugging half the times when i was getting off my speeder. So, all in all, i've put that set into my bank forever and started looking for a new look =/

I bet I have the worst one. It was on my level 45 or so slinger, and I was back on Tatooine trying to do the balloon thing, I got on after several failed attempts. About more than half of the trip I got bored and decided to stand at one end, jump, and see if the motion of the balloon would make me land on the other side. I jumped and flew right out, surviving with 1hp on the head of a bounty hunter.
[edit] I've heard of some people selling the 'Czerka-Crate o Matic' for 100,000 credits
[double-edit (lol)] Oh, and there was a twi'lek trooper up there with me that I had grouped. She asked me 'why did you do that?' I responded with 'I wanted to see what would happen'. I have still haven't tried again on that character, all of my alts got it no problem on the first try!
[ugg, I hope this is allowed. edit 3] By 'she' I meant female avatar*

When EAWare announced their f2p model and said they will be asking money for quickbar, head slot hide, quest reward and title; i thought that was just an experiment and after they will see huge backlash from test server players they will revert their decision but i found out that test server players actually voted that these restrictions are completely alright and f2p should pay for quest rewards and these basic UI features that every piss poor game developer can develop in their backyard. That was the biggest facepalm for me, in my 10 years(or is it more, idk honestly) of online gaming.
