This is from the show-eq forums of all places lol. Here is a quote from one of the replies about the nerf.
"Unfortunately this trick has become far too common knowledge for Verant to ignore"
This pretty much sums up p99 Its rampant here.
I dont think VI or sony ever ignored it, It is my opinion they didnt have the ability or coding to fix it until october 2003. If they did, why would they change prices instead of simply breaking the recharge ability altogether, sooner.
