Making things have 1 charge is not a good thing. That's basically like removing the items from the game since they would all be useless and not worth the time to camp. The Developers should want people to have something to do or the server will die out eventually. Once you get 50 and have all the gear you need. Then you basically have 3 options.
1. PVP (but there won't always be action especially not for people who play at odd hours like myself)
2. Farm PP (to recharge items)
3. Actually farming the recharge items.
The one and only reason EQ has lasted so long compared to other MMO's is because you always have something to do when you log on. In 95% of all other MMO's you basically log on 1-2 days a week to raid and when the raid content is cleared then you log off and wait until things spawn again. A lot of people already play like that on Blue99 in TR/TMO etc. Removing charge items from being useful could potentially make Red99 the same way in the long run and I really don't want that personally.
You should either NERF ALL the recharge items and make it impossible to recharge like with Ivandyr's Hoop. So you actually have to camp every item you wanna use. Or just 100% leave it the way it's always been in the past and let the people who spend extra time on farming PP have the advantage they "deserve".
Both ways work great with me. But if you wanna start nerfing something then make sure to nerf everything that's overpowered.
