If you had a superior before the rune image changing patch, they all now look like minors.

No they don't, I still have my major marksmanship rune. It's coloured blue, but it still looks like a superior.

If it says superior rune in the description thats what it is, whats he going to do photoshop what your seing on your computer?
The reason people sell these cheaper is because of the reaction they get, like people calling them fake and scammers for instance...........

The people who call them "fake" or whatever are complete retards.

When the game released, runes all had the same graphic. They changed it after a while (around a month I think). That is just an old superior vigor. Still works, still adds +50 health, just has a different graphic. If I were you, I would have bought it quick, if only to sell back to the rune trader for a bit of profit.

The rune trader won't buy these and Yes I have seen several.
The reason they didn't get updated was because they were on someones armor before the skins had been changed and they salavged it out after the skins had been changed. *at least that is my understanding*
It will work just the same as any other but has little resale value just because of people thinking everyone in the game is trying to scam everyone else.

Well, be careful, because these *are* used to scam people. If the person you're doing the trade with modifies his offer at any time, mouse over the rune to make sure they haven't switched it out for a regular minor vigor . . .

I have one. It is before they patched the runes to make them have different colored text and icons.
Never going to use it, because there will never be more.

the rune coloring system is messed up right now, runes are dropping that aren't the right colors.
agent of ascalon
it can be used a form of scamming like he says " Hey ill sell sup vigor 40k in a rare skin." you put up 40k. He says " wait heres a christmas present, ill give to u for 25k," then u put up 25k he mdos his offer to minor vigor, BAM U GOT SCAMMED

Didn't minors and majors have the same graphic and superiors used the current major graphic?

the only reason people even have these is so they can scam people, unless they havent been playing in a long while, but thats a small minority. i just avoid anything that is under priced, those people are either newbs who are getting robbed, or they are scammers.

If you check what people are selling you, you cannot get scammed. If someone modifies their offer, recheck it all. It's not hard. Come on people.

I have salvaged it several times, the icon never changes.... a minor rune icon, on a Sup Vigor.

Funny thing is...
I messaged the guy in your screenshot. I figure, hey he's selling an artifact for cheap. I message him, we're going to do it for 35k. We put up both things, and he asks if I want a free item. Changes it to a minor. I change mine from 35 plat to 35 gp.

I just don't like the insinuation that everyone who has one of these is a scammer.
As I stated in my first post, I got one legitimately and I actually use mine as intended.
Saying that the only reason someone has one is to scam people is a bit of a stretch. In fact, it's patently false.
You can say that some people scam with these, and that would be correct. You could even make the case that Anet should update the icon on all existing ones. That's a reasonable argument.
Just because you have one doesn't make you a scammer.
