Huh, I didn't know there were other places you could do this. It does still come across as an unintentional exploit, though, given how cheaty it feels.
It may very well be but I don't mind it very much. But it isn't as bad as the one in Strangerville right after it came out that allowed you to bypass all the celebrity meet options and go directly to the regular friendly, etc. options on them if you asked them about Strangerville first. It happened in a very specific set of circumstances in that you had to be living there and meet one on the street. If you tried to meet them first, then it didn't happen or if you traveled to the bar or library and tried it there or if your home world was anywhere other than the part of Strangerville where the bar is. It does appear to be fixed now though even though I haven't seen any patch notes saying it was.
