PoE2 runes being permanent

Not being to remove runes is fine, but not being able to *replace* (destroying the socketed ones) suck. There should be way to clear the sockets.

An unique with socketed crappy rune becomes worthless. Maybe that's on purpose, to remove stuff from the trade economy, but that really sucks.

Rune system in current state is like gems in Torchlight 1 and 2. System from 2009-2012 years. But even in those games you can broke gems to get empty sockets or broke item to get your rare gems.

This system always was stupid.

Free use for sockets and runes make it much better and allow fine tuning at any game stage.

Yes I think it's retarded having to change your entire equipment just to replace a rune, this definitely needs to be changed to be able to at least equip a new ruin on, I'm not saying the ability to extract but at least insert a new one.

+1 - if ggg doesnt want us to unsocket a rune, at least let us override them with new runes, this way we still lost the rune but didnt brick the item for no reason.
as is right now when you finally manage to get a good item, hit the jackpot on vaal orb and acquire third rune you dont want to slot any in there coz the moment you do that item value drops too much and you cant really experiment with it either: ie everyone is just slotting flat damage on weapons instead of trying out the cool runes like elemental pen and build up etc

Please GGG...please would make people more inclined to buy items lon TB as well..and save so much hassle.

Imo we should be able to override socketed rune with a new one, previous rune going to the void

it dose seem daft not to have some way to remove them, it can hurt the saleability of an item, but even for personal use it's annoying especially on uniques
