The scarcity of Augment Runes this expac was the worst its been since they were introduced. The solution to the scarcity won’t be introduced until the final major patch of the expac on Tuesday. The solution requires renown 18/20 and costs 100k gold. This can not be something that happens again War Within. If augment runes exist, they need to be obtainable in more ways than they were in DF. If there is a scarcity problem, it needs to be solved for less than 100k gold and happen sooner than 11.2

I just wish they would get rid of em entirely.

Augment runs could be an evergreen reward but Devs didn’t provide enough sources in DF, For example, Devs could revamp Holidays and add PvP brawls, WQs, World events…etc for currencies like the candy from hallow’s end, then you can use that currency for Augment Runes, Xp potions for alts. That’s just an idea to revamp holidays properly.
Augment runes could also be a purchase item for resources, We’ve this dragon isles suplies but there’s few things that are evergreen for that kind of currency.

I appreciate I am probably a minority, but I really liked the mission table and these felt like the perfect reward for something like that. Having them only available in the reward bags made them so scarce and only obtainable by a few.
They should to allow augment runes to be bought with the lowest level crest. Becomes more accessible and gives purpose to the Whelp crests or whatever s2’s will be.

Really feels like Blizzard (a) forgot they still had augment runes in the game, and also (b) forgot they removed mission tables from the game (which were the previous main source).
Brain farts all around.
Put them in the Paragon rep boxes. In large quantities. Like 300 in an exalted box. The rep boxes are absolutely worthless now.
Here’s an example, this is what I got from an exalted rep box:
1037 gold
20 x Pet Charms
7 x Pet Bandages
1 x 1-star aerated mana potion
1 x 2-star draconic vial (alchemy crafting mat)
4 x 1-star Writhebark
92 x Dragon Isles Supplies
Seriously?
Come on. This is bad even for Blizzard.

Woah… I’d actually do rep stuff.
Right? So would I!
Never used one this expansion.
Can’t be bothered.
should have permanent augment rune available from season 1

Just get rid of them. It’s such a minuscule power gain that we’re better off not having them

Just delete augment runes 
such an inconvenient little thing (doesn’t last through death!) that doesn’t need to exist
The literal 99% of you don’t do content at levels where the augment rune is even remotely necessary. I agree with the sentiment though that they should be obtained from solo world content though (or removed altogether). It would be a decent “supply” currency dump if nothing else (since gods know there is no point to that currency as is).

This tbh. Either make them more available and get rid of this forced scarcity into a useless gold sink or just get rid of them entirely.
