I haven't had any of these moments in XIV, perhaps because it's not my first MMO. However, my first MMO experience, I had two of these moments, one of them the very first day.

First day - I tried talking to NPCs, did not understand they weren't players, felt ignored, jaded, got ticked off, until later it clicked. Yeah..

Similar to yours, I gave away perhaps a small fortune by vendoring off items that I accumulated until I discovered the Auction House system.
