These forums are old, outdated, and barely used. You've necroed a thread to complain about something that doesn't even work that way. Town center is the last place anything will get stored, it's really just overflow storage. Your word choice is also a poor way to actually get a game dev to do anything.

These forums are indeed old and outdated, Ray just hasn't quite closed it down yet.

Permanent corruption was removed, as of the 1.0 release of October last year (2019) you can fully wipe out the corruption, and yes, it's meant to be hard to do.

Issue was looked into, it appears the perk is working but the UI isn't updating properly until after a game restart, as you found.

For future issues, I strongly recommend you use the steam forums. These forums are old, outdated, and barely get checked anymore.

Known issue, should be fixed in the next update.
 

I also recommend using the steam forums for RtR, as these forums aren't checked that often.
