It seems that non-mark related rewards ffrom eSTFS, "LOOT" has almost slowed to a trickle and that MK XII purples are nearly nonexistent.

Did something change? Anyone else?

    Maybe it has something to do with mark XII items going up in price as of season 8.

    Ultra Rare drops don't exist since Ultra Rare items are only currently available from the Fleet System and Reputation System. Very Rare items are purples.

    I stand corrected. But your thoughts instead of just correcting me?

    Been a few months since I last been in a STF so I can't comment on the status of Mk XII purples dropping in STFs.

    I noticed that, too.
    I'm getting blue mk x stuffs instead.
    Sucks we can't get purples as drops...
    NO to ARC

    I got an XII purple impulse engine earlier today in an ESTF. They may possibly be rarer, but they've not been cut out completely.

    I got a mark 10 purple console (flow capacitors) from Khitomer elite yesterday after season 8 went live.

    I have noticed a sharp decrease in the Very Rare drops since I've been grinding away at ESTFs for a month, but I have noticed that I get more "Rare" items than just "Uncommon" items. Maybe Cryptic is trying to stabilize the Exchange so certain items are so incredibly expensive?
