That means taking on the limitations of being a royal guard. When Kale was a Flame Sergeant, I cut myself off from any RP that an Immortal Flame soldier would not likely participate in. Thanalan or nothing. To me, I'd see potential issues with someone being a merchant all day, then donning the Gallant armour when RP isn't going their way to be all like 'Actually I'm Sultansworn, you should listen to me'.
I don't think anyone really acts like that way from most Sultansworns. We try our best to limit ourselves to be regular citizens just with shiny armor because we try to give Brass Blade players to get the opportunity as a law enforcement. However, there are -times- that we end up using our title to let everyone know that somethings are for the benefits of Sultana and Ul'dah.
I feel that having two occupation isn't a bad thing. Technically, before Immortal Flames was formed - Sultansworns existed and they had their own brigades to monitor the city and Thanalans with Brass Blades. Their jobs got easier when Flames was formed, but during Carteneau the Sultansworns fulfilled their duties as a soldier too during war. As a matter of fact, Sultansworns rank should be as equal as Sergeant to higher rank for Immortal Flame should they work for both because of amount of trials and training they had to go through.
