Prismatic Runes - Missed A Trick

We all know why the new Runes have been made part of the new "scrying game" that's obvious.

But I'd suggest that with the upcoming changes to the I.C. daily quests, they would have been the perfect reward incentive for PvP kill dailies in both I.C. and Cyrodiil.
Not the PvDoor dailies, I'm specifically talking about the "Kill ☓ Enemy Player" dailies.
Before I get PvE users up in arms, I understand not everyone wants to PvP, but by the same token, not everyone is going to want to grind antiquities to get the new runes.
This is the PERFECT way to get bodies into I.C.
Why not have both PVE & PVP options? Makes sense right?

    I think its a good idea for them to do that because that would allow players to choose how they get the runes. On that one I would have to agree.

    Choices? Choices? You don't need no stinking choices.

    Lol. If they don't give choices for anything else, why would this be any different? Besides, regulars for PvP will probably have an easier time than people who do antiquities, and that's not a particularly fair exchange.
    "I haven't really played much yet, but lemme tell you all about how the game should include X and be a lot more like Y!" - Half the posters on this forum.
    "I've been here for years, and lemme tell you all about how they should never change or evolve Z, because then the game would be ruined forever." - The other half of posters on this forum.

    That would surely depend on the drop rate implemented.

    Aren't prismatic runes already purchased with tell var stones? Seems like the incentive is already there. (Thinking of the haijeko rune to make prismatic glyph) or are you talking about something else?

    The new recovery ones that are coming with the next update. Maybe they will be available with Tel Var, but it looks like they will be only available via antiquities. I'm quite happy to be corrected by someone on PTS if I'm incorrect.

    If an item is tradeable, which I'd assume these are (since other runes are) then technically it's not behind a pay wall. So why not just let people who PvP grind them on PvP dailies instead of forcing them into a PvE mini game they don't want to do.
    The same goes for the new PvP seige weapons. If the situation with those is the same then it makes even less sense to hide them behind the "scrying game".
    Hiding new PvP exclusive items in PvE content would make no sense whatsoever.
