Item recharging is an exploit of game mechanics

Does anyone in here arguing the case being "for" item recharging also think necro/sk taps and lifetap weapon procs need to be fixed? Samoht etc?

I really think you need to create your own thread to complain about them fixing life taps instead of insisting on piggy-backing your issue on the recharge thread. They're unrelated.

The expensive form of recharging i don't think will become a problem for years, however the exploit form of recharging, IE handing an item to an NPC that doesn't want it for quest, and him giving it back recharged. That needs to be fixed, because that is definitely *NOT CLASSIC*.

I read that in the R99 thread about things to fix. The guy who reported it did not specify whether or not he did a bug report on it. It's irresponsible if he didn't, but some people would rather complain about things rather than take the time to present a proper case on fixing them. I'm not finding the post right now and don't have the time or a reason to keep looking.

I think this thread deserves a bump.

Pvp server was brought down to remove the ability to sell this item to a vendor :

http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=2353

Because of lvling exploits, and insta kill ability.

As I said before, we dont know all the Items, but this dumb crap is going to keep happening over and over and over, until you just simply break all item recharging, Both Vendor recharging and using quest mobs.

You think these people didnt have this all planned out prior to re99 release? Do you think people deserve to have Jboots ( or insert other items here ) because they were able to solo Drelzna room because they farmed a few of these wands?

Sorry, late to the party. I didn't know you could recharge items.

What are the steps to recharging?
1. You buy 2 of them
2. Use all the charges on one
3. Sell the one with full charges
4. Sell the one with no charges
5. Buy them both back with full charges

Is that correct? Also I didn't know there was an item that could Bind Affinity. What is it called and where can I get one?

You are correct, and there are even quotes from brad saying so, not gonna take time to find them however.

The problem with FD pulling was that players simplyfound a use for an ability VI didnt forsee. The only choice they really had was to remove the ability completely, or let it go.

This situation is different, as I beleive they never wanted it in but couldnt fix it right away, did what they could to stop people from doing it ( raise buy prices ) and when they finally found the solution , they put it in.
