Combining "Items Inventory" and "Mog Satchel" or "Mog Sack" together?

I'm just going to throw this out here for fun. Password cracking software has become a lot more advanced in the past few years. As of 2011 a new cracking software program has emerged that is fairly annoying which is another reason more and more companies are switching to token based security. This new bot which can be obtained over the internet can use a standard desktop PC to run 2,800,000 passwords per second. At this speed this program can crack passwords consisting of 10 digits in length in less than one day. Notice how I said digits and not words or just numbers, it checks everything.

If you want to see how passwords have become even more inferior than before, look at something else also developed recently. A new password cracking machine developed by the EFF can crack a DES 56 bit password in 56 hours. This machine can run 90 billion keys per second.

Now obviously a machine such as this isn't something you'd ever have to worry about for a ffxi account, however, it's not far fetched to say that the use of desktops running what I said above can be used.

More to the matter of active inventory space, I'm of the mindset that the /equip command can be modified to check your sack and satchel and this check would have no need to be done client side. As is, there's already a check to see if an item is on your person, followed up by matching the level and job requirements. The condition in checking would just need to be added before those last steps. Effectively tripling usable inventory would be a blessing for hybrid jobs who otherwise have to choose if they want to be more full on mage/support or more physically minded at the expense of their magic.

The game can never hold more than 160 Items in RAM at the same time, ever. When you're swapping gear, or using the /equip command, your Inventory and your Equipment screens are up at the same time in RAM (96 slots). Adding even one of the Sacks would bring your Items-in-RAM total to 176, which the game cannot handle.

The only potentially possible solution is to add an /equipsack or /equipsatchel command, however it's entirely possible that the game is not set up to handle Equipment changes from anything but Inventory anyways (this would not be surprising, as it's standard practice in programming to lock this sort of thing). The Development team has already stated plenty of times that they are unable to increase are usable inventory any further, which is why we are getting things like the Mog Sack and Mog Satchel in the first place.

I understand the 80 cap, but using /equip should have no need to pull the window up on the PS2 or whatever system. The servers should know what we have (otherwise we could tell it we have 80 kraken clubs), and such any checks would be handled on that end. If it's a matter of actual stress when triplicating the search area, then okay, but your personal RAM should not be a factor here.
