Removing MQ’s would make green more classic.

If anything, make recharges way more expensive but still feasible and somewhat cheaper than buying new ones.

Kind of a bunk argument, because the only items regularly recharged are the ones whose recharge costs are low enough to be reasonable. In other words, yes, recharging is removing plat from the economy, but it's a minuscule amount of the total plat created each day. Also remember that the supply of items is also constantly expanding (except for items that no longer drop) which creates downward pressure on item prices. All that being said, I think the gameplay benefits of eliminating item recharging far outweigh any considerations about the effects on the economy. Goods will always find a fair market price, regardless of the amount of plat in circulation. But item recharging has a ton of deleterious effects on the game.
