Clever use of guild inventory between a small group?

It seems like this is a viable way to get 250 extra inventory slots by using guild banks. I have thought about this before, but I wanted to see if anyone has done anything like this. And I also want to know if there's a flaw to this that (game mechanic wise, not people's behavior wise) I'm unaware of. (I've never started a guild, so I'm uncertain if there's a mechanism that I don't know about.)

The idea is to split guild bank inventory between 10 people across 5 guilds. You have to have the 10 people to create a guild and gain bank access. The 10 people should be folks you trust who will stay active, because everyone will have bank privileges. You have to create 5 guilds with the same members. (Is that possible?)

Set permissions for the guild banks so that only 2 people have access to each guild bank. Give the 2 people the same guild privileges for the guild they have bank access to. Your inventory is mixed with one other person's, but that shouldn't be too much of a hassle for a close knit group of 10 folks.

It does limit you from joining other guilds, but you could fix that by having less inventory. (Have the same structure, but pair with more people across fewer guilds.)

So has anyone tried anything like this?

    they raised the guild bank access to 50 guild members needed, to prevent something like this I think

    So back to making 5+ alts to hold all your stuff, cause ZOS knows best and thinks we don't need bigger banks....*rolls eyes*

    Is that in a future update or is the mouseover text just wrong? When I mouse over it says it requires 10 people for guild bank, 50 for the store.

    Start a trading guild. Get 10 people to join and use the bank. Reward them for recruiting others to keep up the numbers.

    OR

    Start a trading guild. Pay 15*9 to make 9 new accounts. Reward yourself with 500 bank spaces.

    I'm using a Guild-Bank together with a friend.

    To get 10 people, I invited 8 from my Main-Guild, and as an advantage, they get all the crafts they want from me as fast as possible and for the smallest price possible, so 0 profit for me.

    I actually wouldn't know how to manage my inventory without those 500 slots.

    Good, new addon to manage Guildbanks btw. is "Fat Stacks" , works like a charm.

    Thx to Giny, Sarana, Thaili, Derra, Cherahim, Gloy, Raweelz and Drimacus, you make the game worth playing even with AoE-caps, no usefull progression past Assault / Support Rank 10, and with PvP being not even close to balanced.

    This is a good option because it frees up your ability to join other guilds and use their stores. And you still get the bank slots.

    You can buy a lot of bank space and bag space.

    I run a 356 ACTIVE member guild (we kick anyone not on for 2 weeks) Our personal bank space is fine. Our guild bank space is fine. We dont really need more bank space the only people who say they do are pack rats who needlessly hold on to stacks of mats collecting dust and useless dropped gear that should just be deconned or put in store.

    they definitely didn't raise the requirement, I am in a guild with about 13 people, most unsubbed, and I am the only one who uses the guild bank. I think I am one of two or three that actually have access.

    It works -really- well. As long as you can trust everyone involved to not strip the bank, it is wonderful. I would say it is necessary as a crafter.
