The Rune drop nerfs and divided community. With the diminishing playerbase for HC, it is becoming harder and harder to trade and something like a ber rune is almost impossible to get through trade since there are none for sale all the time.  
Going forwards, I have two suggestions that I'd like to hear people's thoughts about.  
1. Keep the nerfs to rune drops, but combine sc/hc into single server.  
2. Undo the nerfs to rune drops.  
There won't be a solution that makes everyone happy, but I do feel like something needs to be done.
