i have read the replys on that reddit page and will confirm that the romulan issue still persists after patching game, so that was false information given, hope they actually fix this issue soon or i may drop romulans altogether.
i have experinced the tailor bug too, though there is a skill point bug that is effecting romulans. this bug is pre-update and is (atleast in my case) not allowing points gained at level 50+ to be spent, so romulan characters can not progress, skill wise, past level 49.
