I agree, item recharging is basically duping. Something that old Verant / SoE used to ban a lot of people for. Using vendors to exploit items in various ways was also a frowned upon offense. EQ isn't the only game where developers felt exactly the same way and banned people for things like that.
There where quite a few exploits in classic and beyond, I've looked for many of them since I got here a few weeks ago and notice some are no longer in the game while others persist. I guess a lot of these have been fixed and packaged in the Titanium client. A lot of things where simply unbalanced and needed to be changed, I believe players knowingly taking advantage of things like this is also considered exploiting, but you guys wouldn't get your classic experience if they fixed all these things beforehand and actually gave you the game that SOE / Verant intended for you to have all along.
If thats the way the developers here want to go about it I am perfectly content with all the things that are in game that are being handled as closely to the old way as they can feasibly manage with limited resources and time constraints. I just got here a few weeks ago and I'm pretty impressed so far. Its been pretty fun.
