I read some of the posts in regards to flares and I had an idea. The problem is the post cap problem and using the Premium Points to get them...and if you change hunting grounds then oops, you are hosed. I think a fair thing to do would be to allow "general flares" done via PP only, to be changeable on the weapon you choose. You can "Set" your weapon to the flares of your choice once every day, or week, or month (year would be far too long..even a month is too long IMO ) This would allow members who use this option to grow with their weapon or be able to relocate at cap every once in a while. I think you could make this an option that costs double than just putting a single flare on a weapon. Random treasure found stuff would not have this ability as a norm obviously.
