    Title: Kingsport vendor NPCs that do not have their browse/buy keyword in initial conversation
    Reproduction Rate:
    Blocker?
    Details: These NPCs require you to hunt through the keyword list to find the keyword to bring up their interface because it's not in their initial conversation text. Some of them use "browse", which is their equivalent of "buy" for most other vendor NPCs. Oh those strange regional customs!
    Steps to Reproduce:

    CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2400 CPU @ 3.10GHz (4) System RAM: 24533

    I wouldn't consider this a bug. I don't think we need to force the "buy" keyword into the current first responses from merchants, especially now with the "Buy" button. However, we'll keep it in mind as we make new merchants and, if appropriate, we'll squeeze in the "buy" keyword in their initial "hello" response.

    I was apparently mistaken that this was a new standard.

    Mostly I just care that there is some way to click to the interface without having to scroll through the list of keywords. Pinning the buy/bank/whatever keyword to the start of the keyword list would be even better because it would always be in the same place. Meanwhile I'm trying to get used to Alt-E since there are things (like the survey tickets) that require chat with vendors.
