A "glamour catalog" type thing that imprints any gear you find in game for use as glamour later.
I agree with most of this, except for Retainers and Quest completion. That would actually be a punishment for having multiple characters.

As long as Retainer item storage space is limited, it would not be desirable to have to share it between multiple characters. Maybe if there were a separate bag set aside specifically for cross-character access (basically an account bank) then that would be fine.
Not having separate retainers to send on Ventures would also suck.

Regarding quest completion, that is a huge penalty to experience to level the character. Imagine making a new character and you can't get xp from leveling MSQ at all. I think I might just not even make an alt character, if that was the case. Maybe it would be okay if they rejigged the system so you can optionally replay MSQ and still get the experience.
