While I'm not going to argue with your feeling that [vendor] recharging clickies is an exploit, I will point out that in the case of the Squad Ring and Prayer Beads (from quests in both Qeynos and Freeport), recharging via quest was built into the classic game. In both cases, there is npc dialogue, faction requirement and story implemented. In fact, there are other cases where quest rewarded items seem to have text indicating that items should be rechargeable. (Kerran fishing spear, classic bonethunder staff, probably more) But from the point of view of how many hours it would take to grind out the faction to be able to do the recharging quest on the squad ring, and having to make a trip to Rivervale for a single click of the Healing spell, I get it.
Congrats on your freedom of movement across all of Norrath! See you out there!
