I really hoped after the shallow experience that was D3, that we would see the return of runewords in D4.
I’m still, to this day hunting down Ber and Jah runes etc, in D2 to craft those sweet chest pieces, weapons and shields.
They just add so much more to the end game.
I was really gutted when I heard they hadn’t brought them back for D4, even if it was just the ones from D2 and a few new ones for launch.
Come on Blizzard bring our runewords back.

No thanks. Runes are coming back in a different form, and I’ll be happy if there are no armour runewords, and an obligatory Enigma for every class at endgame won’t be a thing.
I couldn’t agree more.
Runewords, a good selection of uniques, being able to craft items and set items (not like the OP D3 ones) kept D2 interesting for years
Diablo 4 lacks so much of what has made D2 a truely amazing, replayable game

+1. They should. It’s great mechanic to build around.
It took years to farm my Enigma Javazon, but Damn she can put out moves!
Thats the kind of player base they want for D4, and to do that they’ll need complex, satisfying mechanics like this.
Why re-invent the wheel? I’d happily do that grind again.
+1 For the runewords. Since D2 i’ve always missed something like it in any game and D4 could be awesome with it too on higher future tiers. However, setitems, where are they? Those i would like to see first. And not like D3 items which all where meh… I renember the feeling when a set item dropped in D2 you really had to go town fast to identify and see what it was so you could add it to your collection 
runes would be the only way i´m doing season again. it is such a slog. i only got half the progress i was supposed to have transfered.
runes or if they do ethereals like in d3 with the glorious beams.
possibly i would also redo if d3 s25 - soul shards.
powers are too fkn subdued now. the orange malignat with lightning at the start would be something if visually the lightning was bigger. some electric sound, more oomph.
