What about these runes makes them so undesirable??? I think this thread would at the very least be helpful to Arenanet for their next balance patch but I think they could perhaps incorporate this into the content updates they do.
They could even just create a monthly thread to have the players discuss how the bottom runes of the month could be improved.
LET US DISCUSS!
