They obviously are wary of attempting because of how many things are likely to break with that change. If they're going to change something back-end like that, why not just make inventory load only when you login instead of each time you zone? more bags for longer load time? who cares, it's not doing it every time I zone anymore.
That's not what I am suggesting. Porter slip inventory does not ever load and this is basically the way it works, a simple implementation is that behind the scenes, when you change jobs, a "porter storage slip"-equivalent gets filled with the content for the previous job, emptying special wardrobe 1, and simultaneously another porter slip for the new job gets emptied into that same wardrobe. The effective outcome is that it's as if you had 1700+ more storage, but loading times are completely unaffected, you actually end up with a lot less gear in inventory than you ever had, because again all the gear that is only usable by one of the other 21 jobs would completely disappear from your inventory//wardrobes/sack/case/safe etc.
