Why runeword search

[Dimoak]

There are so many combinations...31 runes? 2-6 Sockets. Tons of item types.
I've read ther are over 12 billion possible runewords.

Not one has been found.

Blizz can't honestly expect people to try for 23:12bill chances. That's like worse than the lottery.

They probably aren't even enabled. They will tell us when they are. Stop wasting runes.

31 runes?
There's 33 runes.

They probably aren't even enabled. They will tell us when they are.
Blizzard has already told us they've enabled 23 new runewords.

So let's look for 23 runewords out of 12bill+ combinations. Great idea.

With that said I can say that the new rune words are real, they are out there, but we are not ready to announce them yet.

Wait til they announce them...don't waste runes.

How stupid.

They can tell a lot of things.

"The feature is there, but we are not telling you how to access it". Great --- for me this means the feature isn't there.

I think Blizzard's intention is for people to experiment a little.

Imagine your surprise if you try to throw a pair of runes into an item, and its an undiscovered runeword......

On any given server theres what? 250,000 players? Combine the realms, and the number of players is huge.
I think new runewords would be stumbled upon, rather than "discovered".

Either way, I'm waiting for the announcement, rather than wasting runes....
