I'm guessing that they wanted to make it difficult to achieve reaching perma mind link (just like hasten and domination).
I do know some players who were trying to get a high gloabl recharge from IO sets to achieve this but...
The really silly thing, and something i'm guessing isnt commonly known, is that it takes Def/Rech IO's. Just slot one of these from each set and you have perma mind link. Def/Rech IOs also seem to be the cheapest of all the defense set IOs. You can get perma mind link for around 50k. Happy days.
Working as intended - it's an idea Castle's trying out.

I wonder if we'll be seeing similar principles applied to older powers to make perma-X more difficult to achieve?
Fortunata Mind link is muuuch harder to perma =[ Longer rech and no mental traning.
But with my fortunata, the power's recharge is good enough- cycled with other powers It's another 'I win vs this spawn' button. Should be just about perma-able with inf, but generally an OK recharge. I think the power is WAI.
Mind Link is working properly DB however needs a lot of +recharge in build to go near perma.Right now i think on top of my head i am about 45-60 seconds downtime not really sure tho will need to double check.
Did anybody read my post?
I have perma mind link at lvl 27 - it cost less than a slotting a power with SOs. Not sure if you should be able to do this but it works.

thats exactly what my original post was about, ie you can't slot recharges but it is affected by recharge in set IOs
Sorry that explains it. I see so much talk of expensive global recharge builds to achieve perma-mind link that i'd just assumed it was that.
It does seem weird that ML wont take recharge enhancements but does take def/rech. I dont think it's intended though and wouldn't be suprised if it's changed.
Castle did make a post on the US boards a while back saying that he was content with it and he was going to let it go and see what happens.
Mind Link doesn't take Recharge enhancements, however it is affected by recharge from set IOs.
Something seems wrong about that
