GGG, let us replace runes please


The current concept of runes quite narrowly limits the flexibility of builds in PoE 2.

From the first look, it's a cool system to adjust resists or dmg output,
but when it comes to a spot where you need to improve something, experement with dmg types or replace parts of your gear - the pain comes.

For the weapons, sometimes it takes days of crafting or trading to get a specific stat roll for your build, after you put runes of one type to do some tests and then, to compare an output, you have to get a similar weapon with another set of runes to make a second test, third etc.
For armour, when you put specific runes to get your max resists or to achiv other goals, you become very hard locked with that gear, beacuse when it comes time for improvement, often by replacing one peace, you also have to say goodbye to a half your perfectly rolled gear with runes you cant replace anymore, because now they make you squishy.

For now runes restrict buildcrafting rather make it flexible.
Why do we have to spend time to trade our gear for something similar if you can just give us an option to replace runes in 1 sec and continue enjoying the gameplay?
Thank you!

I agree with this. If they need to balance out the cost effect, make the removal destroy all sockets and other runes in the armour, but the amount of time I've spent trapped with a piece of gear because I can't adjust the rune is too long.
