I never came across this problem before, but when I brought my teleport runes with me to the Goldberg it used the runes I was carrying over runes in the bank. I would think this would be fixable because it's not unlike using your rune pouches while you have essence in your inventory, it takes from the bank over what is in inventory. So there should be a solution somewhere in that. I'd never used runes that were the same as the ones I was carrying before, so just letting you know it does that.

Maybe it's just me, but I'd prefer if the Goldberg actually had it's own storage, and it didn't even take them from the bank but the Goldberg storage. Maybe there could be a Goldberg section in the bank too, but it would be nice if it wasn't sharing our runes with other activities, such as training magic. So it had it's own runes that we set aside just for that, and we wouldn't be asking ourselves where did our runes go, because they deplete so fast from them being used up between the 2 things. Perhaps Goldberg storage can be a runespan unlock that takes many runespan points. And after you have it, it won't take from the bank anymore, but the Goldberg storage.

I'm ambivalent on this suggestion: Think there's some pros and cons to the idea.

Daily, or semi-daily, I try to use my max cape to tele to Mandrith to buy runes from the mage arena near him and then tele to Yanille to buy the runes from the magic guild there, so I usually don't run out of runes when using the machine, and if I do I just buy more from GE. But at the same time I do find it kind of convenient the machine can access my bank.

But at the same time it is nice to have a bit of organizational things, like your suggestion, to help you keep track of stuff. Pros and cons to the way it is now, and pros and cons to having the way you suggest it.

If there is a tab in the bank for the Goldberg there is no cons, you'd take as many runes as you want out of your bank and deposit them into the Goldberg slot, then it would use those runes up and wouldn't take from your bank. There can even be a toggle if you want it to take from your bank primarily instead, or secondarily after the runes in the storage are used up. So you can have it so it takes runes from your Goldberg storage, and when they run out then it takes from your bank, or you can have it so it won't use any runes if they aren't in your storage. So it can be interchangeable so there are enough different settings that the cons would be more difficult to find.

Another fix they could do even if they didn't do this, is treat the Goldberg like it has a placeholder when you are out of runes of a certain type, because when you run out of runes training magic, go to the Goldberg and the runes aren't there so you can't see if those runes would have worked in a slot, that gets a bit annoying.
Even that is a reason to do it, that you deplete your runes training magic to the point you don't know if they would have worked and so you have to be conscientious about how much of each rune type you have, or you're going to have to make a senseless trip to restock up a rune that wouldn't have worked for the slot anyways.
If you don't have to have enough runes as are needed to know if it would work, there is no reason you should have to have any to know if it would work.
