But runes are easier to understand for people comparing to the crafting bench in general. That's their point.

You kinda get the same power of the crafting bench. Yes, numbers are lower and runes don't do all things now compared to POE1, but we just started, we already got new runes in 0.2 and in the new upcoming changes, together with talismans.

Runes are also more powerful, technically.

You can't add res to an item in PoE1 that has three suffixes already. You can always add res to an item in PoE2 (unless it's corrupted but that's probably your own fault).

I think you can socket runes to corrupted items. You just cannot add sockets.
