Hey champ in case you didnt notice it means the opposit of what you think. It means instead of farming 2 of an item to stay relevent your going to have to farm 200. Do people even understand what they are voting for? i bet if they even took 1 second and thought about it instead of OMG ITS AN EXPLOIT ITS A BUG FIX IT!!! think about it.... with 2 of said item ..u the same as someone who farms 200. ...really think about it guys. Now if you want to take the items out of the game completely im fine with that. Again I dont farm these items but I do see the problem already.

Actually, you missed his point completely...
His point was that it wasn't a problem in EQ Live like it is here, where all the exploits are known, shared, and have an even greater negative effect on P99. Most players just didn't run around with instant gate, heal, snare, and dispell items - using them in every single PvP encounter.
These items were not intended to be recharged, an exploit of a bug that was eventually removed on EQ Live - they were meant to be used in rare clutch circumstances or as a novelty for the time put in to obtaining them. Recharging items is much easier and quicker than spending time obtaining the item legitimately. Arguing that the cost to recharge the item somehow justifies it is total bullshit, as plat is the easiest and quickest thing to horde, especially on P99.
If the ability to recharge items is removed, then the majority of players aren't going to be running around with a bunch of them in inventory, and the overall problem is at least managed.
I don't think anyone would really give a fuck if Mr. Poopsock filled his inventory full-o-wands, as long as he spent the time camping said item which was dropping at an intended rate.
TL;DR ... Your mindset is that everyone should do it, when in actuality, no one should. IMO item recharging is an exploit the same as duping. If the item was meant to have unlimited charges then it would be so...
