An acceptable way to advance exotics in House of Wolves (Destiny)

I like this idea.

I have a 30-Light armamentarium chest piece that I've wanted to upgrade for months, but haven't ever seen Xur upgrading that particular piece.

For armor, I really like the idea of keeping aesthetics seperate from function. I want people at max level to be able to wear any Legendary or Exotic armor they want and still be competitive.

Your system would help accomplish this. Say you really wanted to wear the Kabr's set, you could just spend the glimmer/shards/whatever to upgrade it to max level.

The system could still prevent overt abuse by simply being expensive: require lots of resources. That way players would have some connection to the armor/weapons they choose to upgrade instead of everyone upgrading everything.
