Shared inventory between characters

I really wish there was some way to transfer items between characters.
I recently started gathering and crafting classes and found out that this takes quite a lot of inventory space, so I started new characters with the ideal that they would each specify in some crafting/gathering classes. And when I would need material from one class I would just transfer it. But I just learn this is not possible, and that is very frustrating.

Please add the ability to tranfer items between characters.

I heard this was to make things harder for gold sellers, if so couldnt you just make it so that you can only access a shared storage upon reaching a certain lvl? Wouldnt that be a better alternative? I'm sure they would find that just as anoyning as having to transfer goods between accounts. (Although I dont really know how goldsellers do their business so correct me if i'm not making any sense)

Anyway I really wish something would be done about this.

If your in an fc and have access to the fc chest drop item, change character, pickup item. Fc's wary of chest theft but just get with whose I'm charge and explain what u need. I started my own fc just for the extra storage space, but have a free for all tab for other members.
