Would love that runes get removed entirely.

If that doesn't work however I'd be fine with tier 1/tier 2 runes gaining EXP, upgrading to tier 3 runes, requiring a large amount of EXP, enough to deter level 30 players from getting them unless they're fine with playing with bad runes, while low enough so that when newbies reach level 30 they'll have at least 1 or 2 decent sets of tier 3 runes.
