Can I Boycott a server?

The Question:

What I want to know is can any action be taken against me for Refusing to heal players from a particular server due to being fed up with the majority of the servers players attitudes to other players. If so then I will simply not queue as healer anymore which makes it harder on all the other realms due to the shortage of healers (read below if you care to know why, but it is not important that you do)



<REASONS BELOW. READ IF YOU WISH>
I know it is the internet and Ihat there will always be players that are arrogant and obnoxious. However there is one server, Kel'Thuzad that seems to be plagued by Arrogant, Impatient, rude and abusive or stupid players They consider themselves better than anyone else. They don't help newer players learn the dungeons or wait to find out to get back in if they don't no the way after dying.

Over 90% of the Kel'Thuzad players I have come across in LFG heroic 80 instance are some or all of the above. They belittle other new 80's or players new to heroics, they rush headlong into battles without making sure the healer or others are ready. They constantly kick players who they deem their DPS to be inadequate, even if they just leveled) Their DPS players constantly attack mobs other than the one the tank is attacking and then scream at the tank for not holding aggro or the healer for running out of mana trying to keep them and the tank alive.

If their kick attempt fails then they (as tanks) will aggro a group and then leave mid fight knowing full well that the group will wipe as a result.

I have had enough of the attitude of these players from Kel'Thuzad that I am going to take a stand and NEVER heal them in a run again. This may be unfair to those few good players on that server, but hopefully they will inform their fellow players to start behaving like decent people again (I'll not hold my breath) I can't do anything as Tank or DPS but as healer I can.

Nothing these players currently do breaks any of the rules except for the foul language they use when addressing other players or maybe griefing by wiping groups so the only action I can take in support of the players who have been abused by these arrogant SOB's is to no longer heal them again.

It's not a very good idea to 'boycott' an entire realm, no. Please keep in mind that players within World of Warcraft differ, and that there is a tool built into the Dungeon Finder system to help you deal with 'problem' players in the form of the cross realm /ignore feature. It's probably better to simply /ignore those who are particularly unpleasant, since that will prevent you from being grouped with them in the future when using the tool.

Handling things that way will help prevent any social fallout from other group members (who might not be from that realm) whose experience might be damaged by your refusal to heal as well.
