I cannot off of the top of my head, think of a worse system than warforging, titanforging, and to be frank I don't even think socketing procs are good. It causes a small number of people who get extremely lucky with a weapon forge to be very happy, and everyone around them to get pissed because they got a spectacular advantage for zero extra effort. Before it was removed, every good piece of loot I got automatically felt like shit because it didn't get the magic roll to make it better for no reason. Rolling a rare cosmetic upgrade, tertiary fun effect, maybe? Anything but making it superior to everyone else's for no reason.
