The reason for that is to keep people from using alts as "item/shop mules" , because that IS what people do on other games. Especially bots. Ever see someone stand outside a guild chest for hours doing things really really fast? That's a bot. They are using the chest as the work-around.

Like make up your mine SE. If the worry is what I described, then the guild chest should be inaccessible to players not subscribed. If that's not the concern, then simply owning a house and assigning your other characters to the house as tenants should also be a possible thing, and there should also be an item storage locker in the house to allow dropping off outfits for the mannequins and items being held in reserve to put on the marketboards . Otherwise players will just use alternate characters as storage lockers, even if they can't access the retainers.
