Thanks Rune Trader!

Thank you ArenaNet for making rune's completely worthless.

Rune prices were artificially high. Now they're realistic.

Well, that depends on your profession

I definitely won't be happy when I'm trying to find that illusive Superior Fire rune for my ele alt.

Rune's aren't even worth picking up anymore....It'd be more beneficial to leave them on the ground and use the inventory space for enchanted load stones. 25gp for a rune is ****ing ridiculous.....and anyone that doesn't realize it has serious issues with mental capacity.

rofl i sell runes for 25 gold.. its funny actually

it's a waste of inventory space. enchanted loadstones go for 25 gold a piece and they stack...what's the point in keeping runes...might as well just not pick them up

lol i see 3 mesmer runes. that's 75 gold right there. Is it just me or are mesmer runes a little too common? I have like 6 major/superior mesmer runes, and they are all worth less than 200g...

Oh come on, you can't really be serious? About 90% of the runes now sell for 25 gold! TWENTY FIVE.

Minors, Majors, even Superiors. The rune trader has completely made the entire rune market worthless. There really should be a fixed level under which the trader won't go. Say, 300 for minors, 1000 for majors and 3000 for superiors. It doesn't really matter that one major is more valuable than another Superior, but right now we've gone from idiotic rune prices to useless rune prices.

Seriously, depending on where you find it, it's often MORE PROFITABLE to leave the rune IN THE ARMOR, and sell the armor.

Errr, I'd call that a bit of overkill towards the other side?

Creston

yeah..

hey maybe there should be a godly weapons merchant eh? XD

Err, the reason some runes sell for that little is because they are WORTHLESS. Who in the right mind would use a superior energy storage, or a superior Inspiration Magic? Runes were worth more before the trader came in because people thought superior runes were "rare". Face it, they drop way too much to be rare, and since most of them are useless to most of the population, you're going to have a hard time selling them off even without the rune trader.

Just leave the rune in the armor if you know its not a popular one. You can get 200-300 gold at the merchant if you ID it first and don't salvage it.

It's supply and demand. Rune prices are pretty close to what they should be worth. So what if you can't sell runes for a lot? You can buy runes cheaply, so who cares?

I agree. You all should read my GW rant, I will link you

Here's a nice justification of the posters rant.

Oh, and remember the people saying stuff like Sup Vigor wasn't worth it's price? It's getting there now through the rune trader.

In a way, the blood magic rune prices aren't surprising. Who in their right mind uses major runes? It's either minor or superior. Same with many superior runes. Some of them are just too useless for the 75hp hit. Why would I pay 20k for a superior beastmastery rune...

I can't sell runes AT ALL. I gave every one of those runes away to noobs....

Even if you could, you'd get 25g for those runes you have. Don't bother, selling runes is not profitable anymore. On the bright side, everytime I make a new PvP char, I can just go to the rune trader, blow around 200g and get all my runes. No need to unlock them unless they're something popular that costs a heap.

I like rune traders. Stop ppl from gouging up prices like crazy.

As another poster said, some runes are simply not worth it. And that includes some superiors.

Minors are often time a better option.

How much is a superior vigor worth now? 25 gp?

still 85 plats last I checked.

No they're dear near 100k. Which is soo messed up. Someone who started really playing after they put in runes traders will now NEVER be able to buy a Sup. Vigor at that price from a rune trader because hey! They can't make that kind of money anymore.
