Trade Up Contracts for useless Looted Weapons

Trade Up Contracts for useless Looted Weapons
This idea/suggestion is Open. You can respond to ask questions or discuss the idea and either vote it up or down if you believe it should or should not be implemented, respectively. Popular suggestions and ideas will be considered by the development team to become reality in-game.
Proposal
-Trade Up Contracts-
Trade up weapons to increase their quality level

Example A:
Trade in 3 Opressor Pistols, 3 OR-5 Pistols, 4 Malevolent Renegade Pistols and you get a Pistol of the same type back, of higher quality* i.e you receive an Epic OR-5 Pistol.
*This should be weighted on the quantity of type that you input , so 30%, 30%, 40% chance respectively.

Example B:
Trade in 10 Epic Opressor Pistols and get the same type back of the exact same type as all 10 are the same type i.e you receive a Legendary Opressor Pistol.
Justification
It will help soften the blow on looting lower quality weapons and introduce a new feature for Resto.
Motivation
You can have a weapon that is pretty much useless other than a grind weapon which doesn't feel good if you loot from a boss. This will allow people to trade up items to the next tier and not just delete items.
Counter Strike (and other games) have a feature called 'Trade Up Contracts' which allow you to trade in a weapon from a 'set' and then get another weapon back of a higher quality.
This might be a big task depending on how flexible SWG might allow, so with that in mind it could be exclusive for mustafar weapons initially to reduce the scope of items which can be part of this system, unless it's easy to detect the type generally in which it can be scalable for everything.

If this proposal is, "trade in all my worthless loot till I get something better than crafted", than I'm downvoting it.
Thing is, I'm pretty sure that is what you want.
 
Top be fair, I didn't specify whether I think an NPC would do this process or a player. It could be cool if a Player Weaponsmith had to craft some tool to do this, via the Celestial system.
 
Could you just make them so they could be deconstructed and then a WS could make a better version? Seems like an easier way to go. I wouldn't want to see a system to convert low quality stuff into high quality stuff, because that starts to stress the drop rates for rare items.
