There's not enough evidence and a lawyer would never take up the case. Physical hard evidence is needed. Not chat logs from a discord.I am not 100% sure but I did read on the reddit thread that maybe some of them are planning to go to a law court with this. In the end this might not be so easy depending on the evidence, the costs and so on. But maybe if they can all get together they might stand a chance.
Not to mention given the fact that some of the accusers have decided to go forward with a case, they probably were advised by whatever lawyer they've retained not to show everything on the net. We know that the situation broke into the real world so there's bound to be phone logs as well.
We simply dont know how much evidence they have because they surely would not talk about every single one of them. Some might be a bit too private for the whole internet to know.
And what if that person you blacklisted goes around and see whom you hang out with, or in which FC you are and try to turn people against you? What can one do if its opinion against opinion and you cant prove stuff because nothing ever happened but the other person tells lies about them? I mean this even happened in that case..that the person who abused was such a nice guy on the outside that people did not believe the other person and went against them...and heck you yourself dont even need to tell that person about personal information..what if you have a naive rl friend that is also friends with them and they tell them your name? Suddenly its getting real.You also have the option of blocking before the damage is done too. If said "abuser" makes multiple accounts (which on FFXIV would be quite a boon to SquareEnix) you simply block each one. It is much more effort on their end to make an account than for you to block and they will move onto another "victim". My point is, there exists tools in almost every medium of social media and game to ignore someone. People should be held accountable for themselves. Both "abusers" and "victims" on the internet.

Letter from the Producer LIVE Part IX Q&A Summary (10/30/2013)
Q: Will there be any maintenance fees or other costs for housing, besides the cost of the land and house?
A: In older MMOs, such as Ultima Online, there was a house maintenance fee you had to pay weekly, but in FFXIV: ARR we decided against this system. Similarly, these older MMOs also had a system where your house would break down if you didn’t log in after a while in order to have you continue your subscription, but this is a thing of the past and we won't have any system like that.
