Ferghus is a Casino, your friend went in knowing full well there is a chance all his weapons will blow up and it did, he didn't need to yet he did it anyway.Why does everyone want everything for free? Powerful weapons like +15s wouldnt have any value if everyone had one. Scrolls wouldnt give you the "WOOT I GOT A RARE" feeling if they were easily obtainable. A 15 weapon to me is not required in end game. Players that made one risked a lot of power and gold, players that made one had the balls to enhance and they deserved it for taking the chance most of you chickens would never dare.Then there're people that have farmed for months/years and still end up with nothing but dust right? You can say it's their fault, but the thing is that there isn't a guarantee you'll even get anywhere even if you play like a Korean. I know someone who double broke 26 +10s endgames and not even one made it past 12.
Ya you can fail, thats just the price you pay for an attempt at power.
No one is suggesting things be handed for free in a silver platter. Alot of the posts in this thread suggest an equivalent and long farm to replace having things blow in your face all the time.
And like you said, +15s aren't required in endgame, so why not make it something attainable if you put in the work for it? And by work, I don't mean run a gauntlet of RNG BS. I wouldn't even mind if they nerfed enhances for this.
