I actually enjoy the slow pace of EW to some extent. The low numbers tend to make the fights more "personal" and you get to learn to recognize your opponents by the tactics they use. The less powerful equipment with less powerful ammo makes combat more fun since you rarely kill anyone with one short burst. Fights last longer, and to me that's what it's all about - the fight and not the instant kills.
I also enjoy seeing new guys on their first day...full of excitement and energy. Sometimes too much energy and too many questions, but if I'm not busy fighting I'll give them the basics and answer what questions I can. I think what turns off more prospective subscribers than anything is the flippant remarks and "joke" answers that noobs get in most arenas. But, forcing them all into EW would be a detriment. I can see many score-and-perk-potato people lurking in there, knowing that it would be full of noobs for easy kills. If I were a two-weeker, getting killed the second my wheels go up, over and over and over, would turn me off the game forever.
