I think they should make it so you can re-roll the perks and stats that are random, like for Iron Banner, but for raid armor. For example, let's say you get chest armor from Crota's End and it has carry more ammo for scout rifle and sniper rifle but you like hand cannons and sniper rifles...you could take it to the tower, go to Eris and re-roll it for X black wax idols or whatever currency and it would change those perks as well as resetting your progress on the item. Like I said before, the main perks from raid gear that are specific to the raid would obviously have to remain unchanged.
The reason I think they might actually implement something like this is because, as much as we'd all like to, you're not choosing what you're getting, just changing what you already have, with the CHANCE of getting what you want. In other words, you're still at the mercy of the RNG, you just pay for it instead of waiting another week to MAYBE find a group to raid with and POSSIBLY getting a SPECIFIC piece of armor that MIGHT have the stats you want.
Let me know what you think! Thanks for reading.

I'd like to be able to do this for ALL armour and weapons (except exotics). Perhaps put our excess motes / coins to use seeing as Xur rarely serves a purpose to those already gatted out with exotics. Would also help use up extra shards / energies when the reforge resets the gear in question. Nice idea.
