>Mare-like devs taking money to "help server cost"
I understand it takes funds to maintain such a thing, but we all know that this won't last. It'll be struck down again, likely even quicker. And this will keep happening till the lesson is learned.
We need to move onto having separate mare-likes that are small and easily maintained by the host themselves and live with that, we cannot have another mega-structure like Mare again if we wanna keep doing this.
Just pick one that you and your friends like either it be for moral reasons, personal, convenience, Lop, Snowbunny, whatever-the-fuck-ffxiv-pun.json. Whatever they are, just accept it and enjoy.
