That would skew the chances of getting 7/7 unfortunately. Recall:

If you have 6 items, and an item drops, you have a 1/7 (14.3%) chance of getting a new item.

So getting the 7th item means you have a 14.3% chance (provided you get an Iffy WEapon drop and all Iffy Weapon drop rates are equal. No reason to believe otherwise yet).

However, if it 'morphed' you would be changing it to:

If you have 6 items, and an item drops, you have a 1/7 (14.3%) chance of getting a new item, but a 100% chance of it morphing, therefore you have a 100% chance of getting a new item.

You've increased the chance of getting a complete set by a factor of 7 (actually by more, since this has to be extrapolated to all the other drop rates).

At which point, if they want to keep the probability of you getting a complete set consistent, they would need to decrease the drop rate of any item significantly to make up for the 'morph' effect.

At the end of the day, I think it is not about which item we get or how we get it or what it can or can not turn into. It's all about the probaility of getting *A* item and the probability of getting a full set.

It is up to them if they want to increase the probability of getting a drop, and then come up with some mechanism for doing so (i.e. totems).
