I think the biggest reason the server stays on medium is that the fastest setting is that it is, as forementioned, well like by the veterans, and for a reason. The medium setting is much more conducive to those of us who are new or to prefer shooting the meleeing plebs. Increasing the melee speed to fastest would be a nice change, and for the newer players, even the medium speed, more often than not, offers little help to compensate for lack of blocking, etc.
