Dissapearing runes?!

yes..your runes disappeard because they were duped..if you don't upgrade them to the next rune, they will disappear. I had a duped vex that i made for hoto...my whole hoto disappeard..but after like 1 month. you can temp perm them by opening up a trade screen w/ someone, showing them your item, and then leaving the game quickily b4 sum1 w/ the same item leaves. you can "permanantly perm" your item by upgrading it to the next rune.
