Is it true that when you equip 6 Superior Runes of the Traveler you cannot profit from swiftness?

no, rather it is you dont get the benefits of traveler while under swiftness. The effects do not stack up to 55% run speed but rather takes swiftness over travelers when the boon is active for a max of 33% run speed.

Some buffs stack in intensity or duration, others don’t. Check tooltips and/or your experience in-game to figure out which do what.

As a general rule, 25% swiftness effects (traveler rune 6-set bonus as well as the class-specific signets that many classes have) don’t normally stack with 33% swiftness boons.

My mesmers still value their traveler runes, since it’s the only way for them to have a passive movement speed increase that they don’t have to actively maintain all the time.

Yes, you get the other boons. Reason being that swiftness is capped at 33% no matter how you stack it. The only thing that you would get from skills is an increased duration of swiftness. So if you had a warrior with these runes, you run at 25% all the time, but when you use a warhorn you get 33% swiftness for 10s after which you go back to 25% speed. All the other buffs will stack as normal.
