Okay so this would be simple and only sold by Xur.
Level 1 Upgrade Device
Price: 15 Strange Coins
Turns a Common weapon into an Uncommon Weapon. During this shift you can choose to add a perk to your weapon. Afterwards, the remaining points go towards either a Strength, Intellect, or Discipline bonus. This would be balanced out by having stronger perks take more points.
Level 2 Upgrade Device
Price: 20 Strange Coins
Turns an Uncommon weapon into a Rare Weapon. During this shift you can add another bonus to stats and a increase the amount of upgrade options such as scopes or reloaders. (You get to choose)
Level 3 Upgrade Device
Price: 25 Strange Coins
Turns a Rare weapon into a Legendary weapon. During this shift you can add yet another bonus to stats as well as a second perk to your weapon.
Level 4 Upgrade Device
Price: 30 Strange Coins, 15,000 Glimmer (both, not either or)
Turns a Legendary Weapon into an Exotic weapon. During this shift you can add a final perk to your weapon. This perk can be unique or standard. You also get a final stat increase and the ability to modify the design to an extent. (you might want to crack or uncrack the scope of the Khvostov for example.)

Good idea, but the legendary to exotic sounds to op. Plus, all exotic weapons have unique skins. Do you know how long it would take for them to program customizable exotics for each common-legendary item? It would take a while. Not to mention having a exotic weapon with a common skin sounds kinda lame :/
