Moldering Shard to Upgrade Stuff

It is annoying when you do the raid and instead of getting the item you need so you can move up in light level all you get is moldering shards. This is very annoying. Personally I have been trying to get an LMG from the warpriest. To top it off Iron Banner gear is practically useless at light level 280. Now this isn't me trying to post a topic to complain but rather a topic to provide Bungie with a solution. Something that would make moldering shards worth getting and would also allow people to get the stuff they need. The solution is to allow players to use moldering shards to upgrade the light level of certain gear. My thought is that a player can exhaust 20 moldering shards into an item (along with the other costs to ascend that item) to upgrade the light of that weapon between 2-5 light. Also the maxium you can upgrade that items light is up to your current light level. Example: I have a 302 LMG and my light level is 308. I can spend 20 moldering shards (along with other resources required) for a chance to upgrade the LMG from 304-308 (if my light level doesn't exceed 308). The reasoning behind this is that since you can exchange hadium with Eris for Moldering Shards there is a chance people who haven't done the raid will try to farm hadium flakes to gain the upper hand. By having the cost to upgrade being heavy it still makes upgrading the item difficult but possible. Also by preventing people from being able to use the moldering shards to have the items light exceed your current light level it will motivate people to participate in the hard raid (and to an extent Trials of Osiris) to gain that higher light gear for further upgrades. This would also help with Iron Banner gear as it will be easier for us to upgrade it to a decent usable level for Iron Banner, The Raids and Trials. Also Bungie could always throw a cap on it. Perhaps this method can't allow you to gain items that exceed light level 315 (you have to earn these items in the raid or trials) or just make it so they can't exceed the current light level cap, which at this point in time is 320. If you like this idea please like this topic and leave a comment down below.
