Two problems:
1) the chance it will drive away subs mean that there is no way it'll fly with Square.
2) It won't work even for the players who don't leave. My inlaws played WoW with us and no amount of tutoring from us or people in instances reading them the riot act changed their behavior. There are some players who simply don't care and nothing will fix that. If politely giving advice doesn't work, walk away. All shaming will do is earn you a possible GM action.

I'm talking about the ice mages,
Yeah, hate those too. "I never run out of mana!" Yeah, but the boss never dies either.

garuda-less summoners,
HEY! I use Ifrit most of the time.
