How is "recharging" items not an exploit?

I see, so do the devs officially support recharging items? If so, I can't even imagine what kind of exploit would be frowned upon.

As others have said, recharging is indeed supported here and could be removed any time if developers so wished, as it was on Red. It's regarded as a feature, not an exploit. Exploits that have resulted in disciplinary action include dupe bugs and pushing monsters into the geometry in such a manner that they couldn't attack the player(s). Some classic exploits, such as the Overthere-Skyfire zone line fear pathing glitch, were never reproduced on P1999. In the long run, the distinction between feature and exploit lies solely at the discretion of the server staff.

Watching the big guilds host their recharge sessions is quite amusing: It looks like nothing quite so much as a bread line.
