- CH rotation is an exploit
- Rampage tanking is an exploit
- DoT kiting is an exploit
- Fear kiting is an exploit

Lots of stuff is an exploit, therefor let's just never fix exploits! I mean, since we can't do everything, let's do nothing!

Item recharging is such an obviously gigantic exploit it sort of makes things like fear kiting pale into insignificance. Fuckin remove it already and we can see who is actually good at killing raid mobs.

Also lol at the ultimate telltale signs of somebody clinging to an exploit being left alone: Talking about how this is merely an "elf sim" and eyyyyy, cmonnn, it's 20 years old, so who cares ya know? Fuhhhgetaboutit!!!

How many of these were later nerfed to be unusable because it was an unintended mechanic?

Its actually more like poor and middle class people working their wage slave jobs defending the corporations (from higher taxation) that run their lives and make decisions that affect them in detrimental ways. "Guys we need item recharging cause its classic even though anything worth recharging I cant get cause its so valuable mega guilds have it on controlled lockdown"

Its the 'anyone can be a millionaire' way of thinking
You make sense.

Rechargeable clickies add "content" to a content-starved server such as Blue.

Can certainly disable recharging on Green/Teal, as I advocated before.

I don't believe the ability for any vendor to recharge items was intended considering they had quests put in place for npc's to recharge specific items.
Quote:
Whysia Flock will indeed "recharge" your Shining star of life(not light like the items called) for 20 gold(or 2 plat or 200 silver or 2000 copper), how ever this does nothing but play the quest complete sound. If I had to guess the recharge part and the npcs calling the item a different name might be things from EQ beta that never got changed when EQ went live. Here the text from my log.

You say, 'Hail, Whysia Flock'
Whysia Flock says 'Good evening, <your name here>. Feel free to take your time browsing. The temple shop is open night and day for your convenience. Most clerics need access to their [scroll strongbox] at all times.'
You say, 'Recharge the Shining star of life' -Note saying recharge shining star is enough to prompt a response
Whysia Flock says 'Are you interested in recharging your Shining Star of Life? I can do it for you, but I require the Shining Star of Life and 20 gold.'
Whysia Flock says 'Here you are, then. May the power of the Prime Healer guide you through life and keep you healthy.'
I wonder how complicated it would be to make changes so that vendors can distinguish between fully charged items and empty ones.

Absolutely none of these examples are analogous to recharging through merchants
