How is "recharging" items not an exploit?

The brevity of my post must have made the point I was making confusing. I'm sorry for that. To be more clear:

The OP is asking why item recharging isn't considered a game breaking exploit by nilbog and taken out. Nilbog made this server to recreate, as close as he can possibly get, a classic experience. The original eq devs, while designing and implementing many features throughout the years, have created things that we, the original game playerbase, adapted to other uses. Sometimes they would throw the ban hammer down and call them exploits (Conquest on Lanys for healing through the Z axis in ST to keep healers out of the AoE). But many many more times they would consider what we came up with as a clever use of their mechanics. As has been previously mentioned, emergent gameplay. Thsee types of things they sanctioned and mostly left alone.

To apply that to P99, Nilbog, except in very rare cases, recreates these designs and implements them as they were on live. To the best of his ability and time allowances. So back to answer the OP, nilbog does things for this reason. That was his goal, his guiding light, his compass. He has stayed, mostly, true to this regardless of what any of the 20,000 people (estimate, not factual number) who have come and gone since 2009 have said or thought. So my advice is to "chill out" and enjoy the game for what it is. A very small number of people have a "say" on what and how the server is made and managed. None of them are in this thread. Worry about things you can control, not debate endlessly things you can not. Or futility choose to do so, instead of actually playing the game the original devs, and nilbog through extension, have graced us with the opportunity to play.

I hope that clears up my point.

This is beautiful, 5/7 would re-read.
