Go ahead.... Admit it

I got to level 50 before I realized two things
The colour to the left of the mobs tracks aggro (as a healer it's really usefull)
Focus target (again, helps me so much, for instance in AK, I had to ask people to tell me when the last boss did the big AoE)

It took me a good while to realize tomahawk was ranged. I was in a party and said "I wish MRDs had a ranged attack like the shield lob." One of my party members said "What about tomahawk?" <facepalm> >.<

So... during our t7 clear (SPOILERS) where healer has to stone an add (SPOILER END), none of our healer knew that you can heal someone facing away from that person. GG

Not really a facepalm moment, as there's some debate whether this is a good idea or not. I've mained WAR since beta. My cross-class skills have always been Flash, Provoke, Convalescence, Featherfoot, and Internal Release (occasionally switched out for Awareness). On a whim, I switched out Internal Release for Haymaker, thinking that I might get some use out of it when there's actually something hitting me. Wow, what a lifesaver. It doesn't work on everything, but cutting a mob's dps in half for 12 seconds is amazing.

I started testing ARR in Phase 2. I didn't learn how to Shout until Phase 3.

I didn't learn how to use the auto-translate feature until they added in 2.2 patch a quest that teaches you how to use it.

[SummonerSenah]

Yep, same thing for me with the auto-translate as well.

I was several levels into the game when I realized there was a "Repair All" option with menders. Prior to that realization I had always repaired my armor one piece at a time. >_<

Despite being a FFXI and version 1.0 player, as well as an Alpha and Beta tester, I didn't realize til recently I could simply reply to someone who had sent me a tell via the < r > command - I was forever typing people's names manually when chatting to them in tell. When I discovered it, I felt really stupid. :P

Took me three months to realize that the money you make from selling items through your retainers stay with them. Kept asking myself "Why on earth do they give us the option to bank money with the retainer?" - I thought the money went immediately into your pockets. Nice surprise, when I realized I was wrong.

Took me another month after that to realize I could zoom out the camera....

I didn't know how to limitbreak until about a week ago. As a WHM I never had to use it and when it was needed someone else, like a bard, did it. I finally got to use it just recently. I was so excited. xD
