Recreating the classic experience: item recharging

[Ele]

Wish we had REAL pumice to recharge, not this new crap with casting times. My guild used recharging in classic, although not to the extent it is used on P99 with fully stocked recharge mules and the like.

Pros: Makes the game harder. Harder to mobilize without cap recharges and everyone having OT hammers via Puppet Strings. DPS have to control their aggro. Tanks have to manage their hate. Cuts down on cheese factor of everyone having to have said items to be decent raiders.

Cons: Destroys an ability people had in classic to reuse their Leatherfoot Caps/Invis Mask/Rings. Won't take away Midnight Mallet issues.

Considering the length that people go through to camp Soulfires right now, removing recharging will just result in the socking of these camps to acquire some of these items. Midnight Mallets won't go away since people can just dump rubies on Laguna all day long when she is up.

If recharging were to be removed as "fixing a bug" that existed in classic, perhaps we could see an unnerfing of Ivandyr's Hoop and let it turn Laguna into a huge plat sink if people are willing to turn in dozens of rubies to get them every time they use it?
