allow the enchantment thing to make you choose between (at least) 3 different enchantment.
then you can make a prophecy or darkshine where you can pick between 5 enchantments.

It's actualy a brilliant idea. It would both make easier to get wanted enchant by yourself and lower prices on top enchants. So the lab runners keep their income and average Joe can get wanted enchanted by himself or cheaper than it's now.

If only GGG read the forum.

again, problem you have is much deeper than just 'lab' - this is just the vehicle to deliver the real problem to you

While it's true that balance is a part of the problem, if labyrinth was fun content like the rest of PoE then it would be a slightly less annoying problem.

This is a problematic statement and the gist of the divide between people who actively hate the lab and the people who are indifferent or like the lab. You say the rest of the game is fun content. But for many people that is not true. I'm sure I'm not alone in finding certain non lab parts of the game to be not fun and unenjoyable.

I hear that argument sometimes. I consider it mostly irrelevant because while it sounds logical, it's really just a made up. Before Labyrinth release came out GGG and the new content pre-reviews on it mentioned how the content was much different "Prince of Persia" like compared to the rest of PoE. I've never heard that about any other parts of PoE. For example, the most common content used for this silly but logical argument is Act 4. Well when act 4 was being hyped it was not hyped as a new and different kind of game play.
