Oh yeah, and i was lvl 3 before i realised i had a sword and didnt have to use fists forever more.
Oh my! I did that too!!!!!
Luckily for me, my fiancee got me into the game, and an awesome linkshell full of awesome people (friends now) so they taught me the basics and the "roots" of the game... but when they weren't around, I was left to my own devices.. let's see...
1) The item stacking thing - yeah, didn't know I could do that.
2) Checking mobs/PCs - yeah didn't figure that out for a while, and then once I knew how, I ticked off one-a-many players by constantly checking them.
3) The AH. 'Nuff said.
4) I bought weapons that I couldn't even use. I think I started as a war, and I remember buying a scythe lvl 24 or something from the weapon shop in sandy thinking I could use it.
5) Whenever I came across NPC's, I would buy anything they sold. Like Water and vegetables - I thought I needed them to survive. (who'd a known they'd be for crafting - cooking 53 thank you very much)
6) Macros. Once my fiancee told me about them, i remember saying "they're too confusing, I dont wanna use them." And once I did finally understand them, I spammed " /wave /poke /smile " macros everywhere I went.
7) Chocobos! I thought that the bird stayed with you at all times.. so when I was crossing a zone, I saw a mob that checked as "EP" and got off to fight it and wondered why my bird ran away.
I can't think of anymore. I got a good laugh at all the ones that were posted. I don't think I was ever gimped, my fiancee and linkshell made sure of that.

Edit: Forgot the funniest one.
For those of you on the PC....
I couldn't figure out how to log out of the game!! I remember pressing every button trying to log out. I knew the "-" sign brought up the menu, but I didn't know I had to press it twice to get to the log out option. I remember I was late for work the first day I got the game (after installing it). I had to "Alt tab" to get out fast and then had someone from the linkshell tell how to do it (fiancee plays on PS2)
