Greetings.
I would like to share my personal opinion about runes, and why I think it should be a high priority.
In diablo 2, farming runes is almost its own end game. You can farm low to mid runes, and gain certain runewords that are great for mid and sometimes end game. That itself is a very rewarding activity at times.
Farming high runes is a lot more time consuming, and very much about luck. However, getting a high rune always feels great, and some of the best gear in diablo 2 are runewords.
It adds such massive diversity to the activities and gear progression, that i dont quite understand why diablo 4 was released without it.
Runes and runewords, would greatly increase the sense of reward and progression. It would make it a lot more interesting to grind mobs, so that we simply werent farming the same boring legendaries and rares. There arent enough uniques to make those very interesting to find. Runes would also give is gradual progression, as we could combine lower runes to higher ones.
Thoughts?
