Ilvl upgrades, Crafting....and you?

I actually think the system is already in place that makes this fix something obtainable and not a pipe dream. When an item is currently max upgraded on its current track, lets say Veteran (8/8). The player can use the same method we use to upgrade crafted gear. You take your nifty little enchanted crest and do a crafting order and the crafter can upgrade the track of the item for you given you met all the crafting reagents needed ( maybe sparks and additional crests) and then boom your veteran piece is now champion and you can start upgrading it again until you hit the next cap.

This looks like an exact copy pasta of something I already suggested a while ago.

• Upgrade Gear Tracks with Crests
• • Allow items to be upgraded to the next track with enchanted crests.
• • • It would also allow you to upgrade specific harder to get items such as trinkets and weapons.
• • They could make it so you have to max out the current track 8/8 before upgrading to the next. This would make it so players are deincentivized from trying to farm low keys to upgrade them right away.
• • • You would still need to run +4-7s for 60 Runed crests to max out Champion Track 8/8 and another 90 Gilded crests to upgrade to Hero.
• • • • This would prevent Shadowlands era upgrades from +2 drops all the way up to max tier rewards by only running +2s.
• • The question then becomes if track upgrades via crests stop at Hero or Myth.
