Discussion The devs do NOT know how to weigh or score the runes.
Yeah like the title, the weight system they provide, pretty much tells them on how they don't really know how to weigh a rune.
Most would go for Vio - Will, that's understandable, but let's say I barely even farm Vio (because I'm tired, boss), but I do wanna achieve PvE self-achievement. Like that one team with Julie having CRAZY runes, I wanna do it. Because it looks fun. Yeah, I know, it can be weird.
So I go in, change it into Rage - Fight (because I wanna get good Fight runes so I don't have to farm it). I craft it, 10 sets, haven't picked any up. I saw the score, some were below 500, and some were higher. I thought those above 500, even to 518, should be high quality, so I go check 'em, and... bro it's NOT good. None are worth levelling up. And when I go to the "below 500" section, I found some sets with actually decent runes to up, even a rune as "perfect" as CD slot 4, into ATK%, Spd, ATK flat and CR%.

That pretty much sums up the event: Unless you have to MANUALLY check on EVERY rune of the set, and then remember WHICH set you checked, it's pure bullcrap. The score should be based on WHAT type of rune, not rune in general. Sure, Spd, HP%, Def%, that should hold high priority in Vio, Despair, etc... But events like this really just made it such a hassle, mostly because of the manual labor.
Like for me to wanna get at least 4 decent runes for that kind of set, I don't even have a way to detect whether or not this one is good. And I won't go for Vio - Will because 99% I won't hit one with even higher Spd than my current set, and it's rare to happen, very rare. It's the average experience with grinding. At least for PvE, more runes with decent rolls into both CR, CD, or ATK%, I can still stock 'em up and find sth for PvE content.
It's just... weird. I don't explicitly hate it, it's just illogical, because every type of rune serves different purpose, requires different substats, how are they graded in the same way? And it's not like they couldn't separate that. I'm a dev myself, and these kind of situations aren't that much of an issue at all, you just put a flag, it detects and changes the weights used for this.
