Why is it necessary for guild flags to be temporary?

<p>Why does an unused guildflag need to be removed from inventory if you're offline for more than a couple of minutes?</p>

<p>Better yet, why can't we pick them back up and RE USE THEM?</p>

<p>Yeah +1</p><p>Its annoying as hell to have to always run back to the guild hall to grab another flag if I decide to take a small break and log out for a bit.</p>

<p>Convenience. They probably wanted to keep a level of inconvenience in planting the flag to balance out the extreme convenience of taking the flag. If everyone could carry a flag 24/7, it'd be a bit easier to game the system as well, since now you have to actively think about taking a flag before you go anywhere, while if it was non-temporary you could just carry one around all the time.</p>

<p>I'm fine with temporary, deleting after a camp ect.  Just let me pick the thing back up and re use it.</p>

<p>I'd like it to say somewhere in the guild window where the flags are planted.</p>

What is it, 1p a week and some status? Chump change when you consider the main audience for it is raiding, where you're moving 23 people through it 10+ times a week to kill things that drop 30+ plat a box.</p>

And since the new wizard and druid portals, its not so much a <em>huge</em> bargain anymore.</p><p>Am I happy we saved up long and hard for it in our small guild. Yes. Do I think it should last through a relog. Yes.</p>
