Item recharging is an excellent feature of the game. It's the only real plat sink in the economy. 100s of thousands of plat are taken out of circulation every week by guilds recharging items. It's also cool that your character is individually more powerful by being part of a guild that does recharges.

Really reckless of AG to do recharges in WC... such a high traffic zone. OP is a dick all the same. It's like knocking a kids ice cream cone out of his hands. Just leave him alone.

This is true...AM goes through ~150k a week in recharges. It’s a great way to drain plat off the server

[LostCause]

do you need a speical WC merchant to recharge??? pretty sure all merchants do the same thing lol

don't see the problem either id fucking delete that s hit if someone was talking to me like that.

I applaud OP, the only thing dumber than actual recharges are the dip shits that get ripped off while doing recharges. If only OP would have gotten the Locket of Escape for 11k.

However, this has all been played about before. Much like history P99 is also cicular in nature. Search for something like "TMO rages about Larrikans mask"

A classic problem that original EQ devs really didn't think about aside from minimum costs like peridot's and vendor reagents

Pretty much every modern MMO has this economic problem because the players have the power to create money into the world (kill monsters, sell junk to vendors). This they put in systems to drain off that money. (Horses, armor repairs, etc) however these drains often fail or only effective for a short while with one time large plat drains (like flying mounts in wow expansion)

Constant upkeeps do a far better job at fighting inflation in a video game economy. But then it's a careful balancing act to make it palatable to the players

I think you aren't giving credit where it's due.

Trade skills are a huge plat sink. There are vendor purchased weapons and armour that are big plat sinks too. In vanilla these were actually 'reasonable'. The problem being competing looted items may have been slightly too common, which was compounded further by the quality of items available from the temple of sol ro, planes and kunark items.

The market is now flooded with half decent looted items available to players very cheaply, and these looted items vendor reasonably well. This means few people are using store bought or tradeskilled armour to remove plat from the economy, and dropped items which aren't used are vendored, adding plat into the economy.

Should make velious gems only available from merchants for stupid prices.
