Item from the Lobi Store Upgraded Jem'Hadar Ground Set MK XII went from Very Rare (Purple) to Rare (Blue) with the recent implementation of the Equipment Upgrade System. Stats are the same but the quality was reduced.

You may have misinterpreted what I was getting at. The upgraded rifle on my Boff was VR after the Lobi upgrade and now is Rare after they implemented the Equipment Upgrade System.

No i meant a lot of the Jemhadar upgraded set is reverting to a lower rarity since they changed it to not be unique with the upgrading system. Its some kind of weird bug thats occuring because of that.
I can confirm with screenshots. The Mk XII Jem'Hadar rifle downgrades to blue quality just by opening the upgrade window. You don't even need to start an upgrade on it at all.
I reported the Jem'Hadar rifle having it's rarity downgraded in the Tribble bug section and it went ****ing live anyway! http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=1230541 (Player said that when upgrading the rifle keeps its blue quality)
I payed lobi to upgrade my Jem'Hadar ground set and the Jem'Hadar pistol and I am PISSED their rarity downgraded. This means I have to wait until I have a CHANCE to reupgrade it's rarity!
Problem now is that unless the Lobi Store upgraded rifles/pistols have an internal database number different from that of those upgraded through the Equipment Upgrade System they will not be able to tell them apart and probably then can't rectify the situation.

You should be happy that you'll get one more chance to improve the rarity of that item. After all you did not loose any of the procs of the original item but you can gain one more "extra" by improving it from rare to very rare...
I know the reason of that bug. Actually it's not a bug. The rifle from the lobi store actually was BLUE quality but with purple color. Cryptic lied to us that it was purple (very rare) quality. "Purple" was a cosmetic thing only.

The same exact thing happens to the Jem'Hadar Polaron Beam Pistol Mk XII (also previously a lobi store upgrade to Mk XII) http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c355/MonkeyGuts69/screenshot_2014-09-27-17-39-29_zpsfb10a9e4.jpg~original

The issue has nothing to do with being removed from the lobi store. Both the rifle and pistol are blue quality when you get them as episode rewards. So the upgrade system is downgrading them to their original quality. http://sto.gamepedia.com/Jem%27Hadar_Polaron_Beam_Pistol http://sto.gamepedia.com/Jem%27Hadar_Polaron_Full_Auto_Rifle
What the **** were they thinking by pushing the upgrade system to live when there are still a lot of reported bugs that haven't been fixed yet?
