this I can’t understand. at all. if everyone is in camp, why can I not browse everyone’s inventory? it makes no sense.

how many times have I got an item that’s awesome for a character that’s not in my party, but I have no inventory so I have someone else pick it up.

unless you’re diligent and sending every single thing to camp, it’s a pain in the ass to swap gear around. I still use the goody-bag method for gear drops. but it’s not perfect and it can fail if you don’t do management every time you play.
