Actually it is not impossible. Sharing account info is a way to get your

See, we don't keep an armory in my guild. We used to have one but the person
who had all the stuff either stopped playing or switched to a different
server so nobody could get the stuff.
Rather than having an armory, we help other members obtain items if we can.
We believe that people should earn the items they get and they can either
buy them off of another member or we help them to obtain it. In some cases
items are given to members but it all depends on the individual players and
what they like to do. We don't like begging and don't want to encourage it
in our guild.
