The reason is simple: A) both MQing and recharging are arguably exploits, but are sort of in a gray area, and B) dealing with recharging/multi-questing issues would be a drag on staff time.

So, both mechanics are kept in the game (on Blue at least, Red doesn't even allow recharging I believe), but they are very explicitly "do at your own risk" activities.
It's a problem with the server and rules more than a problem with the players.

Exploit intentionally left in the game in the name of being 'classic'.

No rules or CSR support regarding it because it's an 'exploit' (even though at this point, it's intentionally there).

Raid scene pretty much requires usage of this mechanic in order to compete.

Players use the mechanic to try to compete, other players take advantage, no CSR support because fuck you, result -> forum drama.

Has happened before, will happen again until the rules change.
