What do you all think about adding an option to upgrade a Hero Track item to Myth Track (1/6) using the Tokens you get from the vault? Currently, it takes 6 Tokens to add a Gem Socket to your gear. Instead of—or in addition to—that, what if Blizzard introduced another item you could purchase for, say, 18 Tokens (the equivalent of 3 weeks of completing 8/8 M+ vaults)? This item would allow you to upgrade a Hero Track item to Myth Track.
This system could help address situations where players are stuck with low item-level Best-in-Slot (BiS) trinkets or other gear pieces they’ve been unable to replace. It would add more flexibility and value to the vault rewards system while giving players another way to target upgrades for their ideal gear setups.
EDIT: For those of you acting like im complaining about not being able to do hard content, that is not what im talking about. Im 3015 io and Mythic raiding and have yet to get 639 trinkets from vault. Its not about getting free gear its about wanting to play with the best gear when youve been putting in the time and doing the hard content and still not getting it from vault BC RNG!

It would encourage degenerate gameplay.
The optimal progression path for a trinket from the raid for example would involve farming the boss on every single difficulty to get a drop no matter the track it’s on, so that you can upgrade it via a token.
It’s simple - for higher track gear, you need to do higher difficulty content.

So basically giving out mythic gear for people incapable of doing challenging content.
I never grow tired of the unique ways people explain the exact same thing on these forums.
“I want the best gear in the game for doing LFD and LFR and anything less proves WoW is a terrible game” threads are awesome.
i think itd lead to such gear inflation that you’d no longer be able to do any content that gives upgrades ever.
So to touch on your “It’s simple - for higher track gear, you need to do higher difficulty content.”
Ive been doing +10 and higher since week one TWW, im currenty 3015 io on pally and 2912 on rsham and 2600+ on few other toons. Ive yet to get Myth track trinkets on my Ret pally. They are bis trinkets but not 639 ilvl. Im doing the hardest content and still cant get BiS ilvl trinks from vault. Thats my issue. Ive taken Tokens for 14 of the 18 weeks of s1 so far
I think it is a good idea cause I’m stuck in the similar situation of Trinkets being a pain in the behind to get from Vault that isn’t Meledar’s toll which is a terrible trinket.
I would put in a stipulation though that it had to be a Hero Track piece, but also have one that takes 3 weeks of tokens as well for Champ to Hero so it’s a 6 week sink so it won’t be abused to get all pieces of gear to Myth track. That way you’d be doing it to at most probably 3 pieces over the entire season. It forces a choice of a gear piece I need from the vault or take tokens in hope that piecees that I do need drop.
The alternative that would be better is giving us the Dinar system half way through a season so we can get those last missing pieces and have them start at Vet ilvl but fully upgradeable to Myth ilvl at the same cost that it would take items of those tracks.

This sounds preferable to me. It’s already tricky sometimes to decide if sockets or a sidegrade are the best choice. I think adding a third option could make that choice even harder, so I’d rather the option came from a separate currency like Dinars.
