I would chime in and say that if your guild has decided to stick to a certain standard, including making standpoints on the more controversial points of lore and interpretations about how you take game mechanics into your RP, then you really should stick to it. You appeal to people who agree with it, and I think players themselves have a degree of responsibility to research and test out if they fit into a guild. Of course you should try to be accommodating to new recruits, but there are limits. It's much better, in my eyes, to let people part ways without hard feelings over waiting for it to build up and cause a trainwreck of drama due to differing opinions.Â
Personally I do not consider IC gearchanges-on-the-quick-go to be a thing. If anything it usually makes me assume that the person is OOC. I wouldn't accept something like it as canon unless it was really well reasoned, and also something that isn't used just because they want to wear a different dress half way through a social event. It could be canon lore, but it's an OP move to have your character running around with, due to it's potential use in combat situations. It takes two emotes and a little walk away for a minute or three to get away with changing your outfit, and there's many creative ways for it to be carried around or stored conveniently nearby that doesn't involve "Hey lets put it into a pocket of magical air."
