Nice line of thought Bost and I agree with most of the things you mentioned, except...
That's a group of players on it's own. Their way of playing is to piss everyone off as much as they can and/or ruin the game for everyone they can. That's what is fun for them. If PvPer has a good fight that's when he wins. RPer has a good roleplaying encounter that's a win for him. When someone quits the shard because of a griefer that's a win for the griefer. Making a compromise for these people means they have lost.

Why in the world would you push to have someone leave the server? This is a game that CAN NOT BE WON, nor will it ever be won, so you may as well just try to habitat someone else's playstyle while having your own. It's another compromise we all have to and should (if we haven't), make.
