Rituals tribute saving broken

When you complete rituals 2 of 2, 3 of 3, etc. in one area and go to another area and do next set of rituals, the tribute points don't save across, it resets back to zero. You can't accumulate tribute points and can't keep deferring because it is minutely incremental. Before your hot fix it accumulated and you could save up for an item that cost 3000+.
Not worth doing rituals, you basically have to buy whatever you accumulate to value you make in that area.

That's how it works. Points don't carry over from area to area.
