Hmm, are you sure on that last bit? I used to be amiable with
the merchants there. Then I camped in Cazic and got hit by
that bug that reset some of my factions and I was back to
dubious with them, but they'd still sell to me. I was grouped
with a friend who was KOS to Trumpy, and we ran into this bug.
Trumpy and a friend came charging up the dock and my friends
casually killed them both. Since I was playing Clarity at the
time, I took the faction hits. The merchants wouldn't sell to
me after that.
