What would you all think about having a change to the way Runes/Inscriptions are used now in PvE? I proposed this idea to Arena Net and they told me to run it through the forums. The idea is this; I propose in order to use a rune on your armor you must first use the lesser rune. For example, if you wish to use a major rune or superior rune you must go in order. You must first use a minor rune until you gain enough experience to move to a major rune, then after acquiring the major rune you must gain enough experience to move to a superior rune.

This would IMO make the major rune worth something. In the games current state major runes have no monetary value so to speak. In this way all runes would have some value. I am not saying my proposal is the only way to go on this, but wanted to see what the rest of you thought about it? Please leave feedback and propose your own ideas on this subject.

Wrong section, and it's a really bad idea.

I like the fact that Majors are usually cheap since they work well in heroes. I don't see a reason for changing things.

So instead of paying straight up for a superior vigor, I get to buy a minor, wait a bit so i "gain enough experience using it" then buy a major, wait a bit so i "gain enough experience using it", THEN I finally get to use my superior? No thanks.

Only if then you got a PvP equip style menu appear on that character allowing them to select any rune already used on them would i say this is worthwhile.

Gotta say "No" to this idea.

If I come across a Superior Scythe Mastery rune for my Dervish before getting a minor one, then I've got 3 options: EITHER hang on to it until I've found a minor then a major and waste storage space (the problem doubles if I also find a Major rune before a minor one). OR sell it to keep storage space available, OR buy the minor and apply it, then buy a major and apply it, and then apply the superior rune. (I won't go into the issues regarding salvaging the runes back out of the armor $$$)

Considering the fact that most people have 6 or more characters, each with 10+ heros, then storage becomes a HUGE issue or the buying and using of minor & major runes becomes cost prohibitive.
