Weapon charging - why is this still a thing?

What purpose does charging a weapon serve? Why should this even have to be done...? I get that we need soul gems for revival. But why charge weapons? All it does is cause a 2-3 second lag when it runs out of charge - and it seems to need recharging ALL the damn time. It surely can't just be because other TES titles needed it - hell, in Skyrim, proficiency in destruction magic, for example, meant that one's staff had more charges before it needed topping up.
Can we just get rid of that already, please?! @ZOS_Wrobel

Didn't always do that, but thanks for OneTamriel!
And the point is to make people use up stuff.
Just like you use up healing potions. And food. And poisons. And have to repair your gear. And so on.
Be thankful you don't also have to count arrows! (Not that I would mind, as immersion-lover, though it might get... tenious...) Or recharge your staffs basic attack. (you -can- still use all the weapons if you run out of charges, it only affects the enchantment after all)4 -

I actually dont like having unlimited arrows. I prefer to have arrows that do different damage and arrows that you can magically enchant... fire arrows, frost arrows, etc etc. Its one reason i tend to favor bows in RPGs. An arrow for (almost) every situation.1 -

Yes and that's why it must stay in ingame, its one of classical features of TES, it's not hard to recharge your weapons in ESO, in some previous TES games there even more hardcore rules like permanent breaking, removal of classical features is a wrong way.1 -

✭I don't even care that we have to charge our weapons, I just want the lag to GO AWAY!
This has only been happening the past few months. So along the way they fixed something and broke this. Shocker.PC NA - GreggsSausageRoll1 -

✭✭✭✭They do need to fix the game lagging every time it runs out of charge and every time you recharge it. Been in the game forever.3
