Based on normal fan backlash (especially of late) I'm not surprised they are carefully picking what and when to post things. They could have it figured out but likely won't say anything till it's 100% done and tested (internally).
EDIT: Spelling
They may even announce the game before the system really.
I like the idea of them being difficult to find. Obviously we're all over-excited at this point because we want the game, and everybody has build ideas and such, but imo I enjoy things being a little harder to find, especially when you consider the insane hours a lot of us are going to put into this game. If runes dropped like rares, and as the interview mentioned (admittedly theoretical) they attuned to skills, I think it would add some legs to the system, because you wouldn't just be able to run around for a few hours, farm all the runes you need for the build you want to run, and be off. It'd be a little more exciting when you found that alabaster rune you've been looking for to put into a specific skill. But as everyone has mentioned, I'll wait and see, and since they're smarter than I am, I bet their system works the best long term.
@Molster: if you read Bashiok's post regarding stash size, you'll clearly see that he invokes DB size as the rationale behind stash size reduction. But I'll also tell you this: it'd be awesome if they made separate 'containers' for runes and gems. Not only would it streamline management of those two items in your possession, it would also turn this stash reduction into a stash increase!
P.S.: Also, they could reduce the 'white item pinãta' loot drops, if they're so worried about DB size (yes, Bashiok also mentioned "items on the ground" as a factor in stash reduction).
I read every post regarding everything, =P Yes DB size... if their plans to go with a rune storage system goes through (which they already said they wanted badly) that would explain why "db size" became an issue, they now have rune storage, and can not "handle" the full inventory they had setup. This is just a theory, but the one im hoping for.
(example key rings being removed in wow for more inventory space, they may just be removing that, to save time/resources to get the game out, as a quick solution to the space they needed for the runes)
yes pure theory, but one I like.
