Given that I have a complicated life that kept me off Atys for a few months, I agree. I'm sure I'm not the only one with NPC armor or boosted gear that would prefer to have their gear passed down than locked up should things happen.
A slightly trickier way that would be a bit more realistic is to have a designated "Executor of the will"; in case of extended/terminal absence, a trusted character of the player's choosing is authorized to access the apartment and packers of the incapacitated/deceased toon and distribute the items as they see fit (hopefully in accordance with the wishes of the person who designated them).

Do not assume that you speak for all just because you are the loudest voice; there are many who disagree that simply have no desire to waste words on you.
