I can't say for everyone but I'll be honest - as someone who's interest in RP, modding taking such a big prevalence in venues is what actually turned me off of it in the past years, because nearly every event ad I've seen went with a silent expectation that you'll join the mare syncshell.

FF14 might be not perfect when it comes to glamour and customization, but there're plenty of options even with that in mind, and I wasn't interested in installing 3rd party tools to see other people characters' look like they're not even from FF14. That, plus it felt like people had put more attention into flashing their fancy mods than into actual interactions with other people.

If mare being gone means that RP stage will turn back to vanilla at least in some capacity, I'll take it as a win and probably will dip into role-playing again.
