I am very mixed about this. I think inactive accounts should be culled from the game but since they aren't, they should be treated like any other account in the guild which means the bp slots should still be accessible. However, this also means they should be allowed to be hit in gvg conflicts. This is just another instance of the vast majority of the player base wanting the benefits of something without having any adverse consequences. Let us keep our inactives for bp storage and xp but don't let other people hit them.
Hoof, if inactive accounts were purged from the system, would that speed up servers any? That may be a silly question but I have no knowledge of such things.
What alot of people seem to forget is that alot of guilds would die out if this change happens.
The only solution to this problem with keeping inactives for backpack means lowering the price of guildstore slots to 15 fsp like backpack for a player (thus removing the option cheaper to upgrade the founder then guildstoreslots). However if that should happen you can't expect people to suddenly come up with the amount necessary to immediatly replace guildtagged equipment and inactive player might be holding.
I do get that; and we would suffer greatly if this change were instituted. However, I do think we have to take the good with the bad. Although only tangentially related to this discussion, if we are going to keep bp slots open for guilds, then the inactives should be open to attack. And yes, we have lost or tied many a guild conflict because we have so many inactives used as storage space.
Plus, if this were changed, you would likely see a huge short term downward spike in the auction house as guilds tried to clear out lesser used gear.
