Crafting Items/Runes

Maybe a little video preview on what they can do or how it really works so that we'll know if it will work on our weapon correctly, and also saves us from purchasing incorrect rune. Or a Tooltip that shows the list of weapons/items it can be used on.

Nice suggestion! We are planning to do that too.

I think it's only the issue of being clear. PoE's skill descriptions are long, but very detailed and understandable. For example, for these 2 runes, I would instead say: Boundary Drag: When this skill activates, enemies within 20% AoE range outside of the skill boundary will be pulled to the boundary. Overdraw: Within XXs, you may cast the skill again immediately, up to X times. Skill cooldown only activates after skill is cast X times, or XXs has passed.

Lengthy is fine. It's on a rune, which means it modifies the skill it is attached to. So you're simply changing what your skill does in your head; reading and understanding it once is enough. I agree with OP's suggestion of a preview, but I think using words is also important. In a game with such a variety of builds, videos cannot show the intricate details of how a rune is useful to a specific build. For example, Overdraw rune is very useful on skills that have super long cooldowns. But how does it work on Totems or Traps? Does a new Totem or Trap have skills with reset cooldowns? This cannot be shown in one video.
