The problem with that theory is that there's only such much any one
person can keep. 8 characters x 8 bank slots x 10 backpack slots = 6400
items, plus the items on the 8 characters, per account, per shard. Of
course this is exluding stackable items, but light-stones aren't stackable.
Stackable items can only increase this by 20 fold, assuming that everything
you owned was stackable.
