We discussed this in tribe and this is really a good option for any tribe to use. For example, your main leathercrafter (who has stored all his tools and craft needs in his personal bins) gets sick, takes a 3 week vacation or just disappears without a word, someone needs to be able to get into those bins to get those supplies in order for another crafter to take over.Totem switch that allows leadership of a tribe to look in and move items from even private player storage.
As for play style, out of game we are Wessex, a medieval style rp guild. Ingame, currently we are a co-operative ( no one person saying this is this and that is that).
