This whole situation feels silly to me because all these people had to do was keep a low profile but decided to self-report themselves by taking over a public zone...and I have zero doubts they'll probably do it again even if a replacement for Mare manages to show up.

I've also already randomly had 18+ modded XIV content show up in the general XIV feed for twitter multiple times which is precisely the kind of thing the devs do not want happening and probably will keep happening regardless.
