Cannot Apply Greater Essence if Item Contains Rune

You are currently unable to apply a Greater Essence to an item if you have a rune socketed in it. You can apply a Regal Orb to items with runes socketed. I believe this is a bug, and it'd be real nice if it was fixed since we cannot remove runes.

Bump to pray GGG sees this to patch this week.

I followed Jonathan's vision of picking up items and putting them on but now I can't improve them please fix I beg.

I continue to pray to my shrine of Krillson. May this be resolved soon.

On the path from 77-93 with a blue weapon please allow me to apply a greater essence thank you.

Surely one day GGG will recognize that Greater Essences = Regals, and why does one work when the other does not. Surely this is not intended right?

We're back post holiday break please GGG just fix this bug - Regal orbs work but not Greater Essences whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.

Surely one day this will get patched.
