Maybe he meant if you manage to combine them into the final version they don't have an expiry date? At least that's how I took it

That's what I thought at first, I bought some today and combined them and I looked in store and found no expiry date. I assumed they were fresh drops, maybe they weren't, but since then I've found some combined ones in store that do have expiry dates.
I wasn't going to respond to the reply above yours because of the argumentative and accusatory tone
Your style of play is different to mine.. me personally i hunt these stones so i can collect them to be used later!! How does it keep the value the same? more ppl getting them that puts more pressure on ppl to either sell them or use them quick which in turn puts pressure on you to add the stones to items you normally wouldn't otherwise want to add it too...
It made things complicated enough just having to deal with expiry date with gems but to add the timer to runes and stones... arghh i dont like it

I agree with the expiry date to be honest.
Think about it logically at this moment in time. A ton of DC / SC / MC Runes as well as loads of others are being dropped and put into the market. If these runes didn't expire then the market would be flooded and the price of the runes crushed. The way it is at this time means that for a lot of players you can either buy them cheap and upgrade or get them yourself.
And when this event is over the price can return to normal. Runes are meant to be expensive (at least in my mind) as they are something you add to really good gear. If you flood the market with them then you devalue the effort it took players who had to work their asses to get get the runes in hard way.
I know all that.. i been playing for years and gone through enough events to know how the runes/stones prices are effected over long period of time even after the event is finished. most ppl tend to hold on to them for later use cause it gives them something to look forward to. one more reason, can you imagine a warrior having a HC armour with 5x dark damage stones and a holy damage 9% when it got designed later? coulda been avoided if you werent rushed in to using the runes/stones early.. no?

Stil thol i dont like this expiry business on runes cause it stops me from planning/building my kit properly. Having expiry on otherstuff like gems is understandable cause im sure that keep the game more clean and efficient but expiry with stones/runes i still dont agree with just as much as i dont like npc's getting reset after every reboot. they should reset every 3months or so.
With this logic, characters of a lower level shouldn't bother adding runes, albeit 1% PA/SA/MA or MC/SC/DC10 until they have Celestial gear? Surely a character should have the choice of being able to apply it to an item he has currently, if he so wishes or wait until he has an item he deems worthy. Now for a lvl 130 odd that might not be until Holycrystal at lvl 142+... I myself at lvl 169 on both war and wiz, still use HC gear because atm I don't have the celestial option to replace it. That might not come about for a couple of month whereby my runes I've saved for my new item have expired. In regards to the economy, PA1% rune in AH atm is currently going for 900gg... Vastly overpriced when an SA is going for probably a 1/3rd of that price. They weren't on a timer last year and everything continued nicely.

By the logic I put yes lower level players shouldn't be bothered about Runes normally but as I put with there being so many around lower levels can buy or farm them, upgrade and then use them. But normally why would a low level player be bothered by putting runes into gear they would no doubt replace quickly. It confuses me as to why any lower level player would be looking at runes higher level players use and decide they want to use it on their low level gear. I would hope they could understand that the reason people put runes into gear is because it's either some of the best gear they can use or they won't be replacing it for a long long time as such the investment is worthwhile.
Maybe I'm the odd one out here but I like the idea of not even considering using things like Runes ect until I'm a much higher level with much better gear. It's one of the reasons I continue to level to reach that stage in the game where I can start to consider Runes.

The timer extends when you combine it. My mate made an MC 10 today and it had June as expiry date, surely 2 months is long enough to decide where you're going to add it, or sell it and cash out before its date is due.

Okay now this is taking the piss. I decided I wasn't going to buy any socket items now except ones I plan to use immediately (MC)
I will use HealthRune but not for a while, I had 2x HealthRune(L) in store from ages ago with no expiry (had them for months) and spotted another one in a stall just now which also had no expiry. If it had an expiry I wouldn't have bought it, but since it was clearly one of the old ones I went for it (at quite a high price I might point out). Combined with the two I had in store and the XL I made has an expiry date! Come onnnnnnn
The 3x L all 100% had no expiry date on them. I would have just left them uncombined until I was ready to use if I knew they were going to suddenly get an expiry date, I have no idea when I'm going to get something I want to use it on so now it's useless to me and I need to sell it and probably make a loss, so effectively I've lost those 2x L that I already had now

Just gotta laugh at this after your comments above...
Ain’t no need for runes to expire. People stash them to last till next year. That’s what people want. Once again I will compare you to the pornstar girlfriend andy THAT DONT GIVE HEAD!!!!
Nobody wants expiring runes. And as for the expiring gems, I damn nearly killed my self collecting 108 dark chips and 108 fire chips. If anyone else can do that in the next 4 weeks il genuinely be amazed.

Quite agree with this.
So what from now on when we make up runes whether dated or not they will have a 2 months time limit on them??? 2 months is soon over...... some players only have a very short time to play in and so need to save runes for way longer.
Thats not right whatsoever.
I am so glad I ignored advice today to make up several of my old undated mc runes and fire ones as they would then have been slapped a 2 month date on them.
We dont all level that fast and so many save stones for quite a while before getting e new item or can afford the high prices to add sockets.
These runes dont drop on a regular basis for the majority of players. Where I hunt and how I hunt I NEVER get them drop only ever in events. So many players have only events to gain them from.
Please take this date thing off.

Another tactic to make the game ridiculously hard to do what you could all do a year or two ago. When I started I used to get loads of 6/7/8 star items. Was so much fun getting artifact essences and designs and collecting runes for ages. Now artifact materials are unseen. I haven’t seen a artifact item drop since he raised artifact from 6.7% to 10%. Boringggggg

Does everyone’s posts have to be approved by a mod now or only mine?

Sell it? The timer has destroyed they’re value.

I’ve had fury runes in my store for months saving them for new necklaces and rings that appear to be coming in game shop fairly soon. Be gutted if they was expiry

Probably just yours so that the dev team can produce a grammar check to be sure that your posts make sense. Clearly this one has fallen through the net.

Ah they approved the final third before my post, nice one.
They will still be worth money. Do you know if it is just the event stones what expire, or all stones from now on? Because when he did this with orbs the ones what were pre date still had no date, but every single one after that has 7 day expiry.
