Runes unsocketing

Please let us un-socket runes from items!! It will make gearing way more flexible and leveling in campaign easier with runes switching/removing.

I agree. Let us replace runes.

Or just let us overwrite them (losing the previous gem in the process).

Yes we need to be able to remove/overwrite socketed runes. This should have been in the game from beginning, even a 25 year old game (diablo 2) has this feature

+1 I don't use my sockets all that much, especially not on expensive items, because I might regret the rune I put in. So i'm basically playing without runes, except on the weapon.

Not unsocket them, but we should have the ability to destroy the ones that are in the sockets so that we can put in a new one.

You went with the gem system you have so that we didn't have to deal with the gem/socket issues every time we got a new piece of gear but now you replaced that hassle with runes. Replacing one piece of gear can potentially destroy my resists with no way to fix it. I don't want to be trapped needing a new item to have the same resists I had before.

Just allow us to overwrite the existing rune, with a confirmation button.

as others have said, i don't need the runes back we get so many of them i don't even pick them up anymore and soulcores are only obtained from an area where you're farming them specifically.
but having the ability to break w/e rune/soulcore is in the gearpiece to replace with a new one would be great.

Every design choice about POE2 just seems like a complete failure. I don't know in what world GGG think the current rune system is acceptable. Not being able to over-write them is just shockingly brain dead design.

This is one of those things that is inevitable to be changed, eventually. [Removed by Support].
