Guild Wars 2

I would like to consistently change runes on my armor when switching between pve and wvw because I rearrange traits depending on what I am doing.
Currently you have 3 choices :
1 – Buy new runes every time you want to change them. (At 50s a pop for offer prices that can get costly).
2 – Earn a second set of exotic gear with the exact same stats just to apply different runes.
3 – Your last option is to change to a build that uses different armor stats.
I can’t be the only one that thinks these options are not reasonable. 3g to get new runes because a guildie wants to do a dungeon run and then another 1.5g to get the runes for wvw because now we are doing that. Or do dungeons to earn tokens for gear I already have…. Or to just find another build because I don’t want to pay that kind of money for runes and I don’t want to grind out the same set of gear again.
If you could please implement some way of getting the runes or sigils back WITHOUT destroying the item associated with it I would be very happy.

50 s is much cheaper than the runes I use.. It is about 6 -10 g for a set if I want to change runes

To avoid that problem, i used a build that is viable in Wvw and PvE. This weekend I wanted to check out a different build in wvw and opted to get a new set of Armour.
I got the exotic Karma gear fromm the Orr Temples, which cost 241k Karma.
This might sound a bit much but I have so much Karma that this is the cheapest solution for me compared to grind out dungeon tokens or money. I just needed to buy the runes and have 6 spaces less in my bank.

The problem is that not all classes have builds that excel at both pve and wvw. Plus the fact that you shouldn’t be forced to use a certain build just to avoid having to farm the same set of gear twice or having to remove the runes on them.
