Well, fastest is bullshit.
My story of melee-style I use.
Spoiler
2 years ago I joined the game. I was playing as classic recruit would play this game - sideblocking, missing stabs, 0 foot-work.
However I was improving my melee skill more I play the game (logical). Person called Sticklitz (melee Legend for me) showed me melee-style I use now.
The melee-style is called block/feint chambering -> The style where the most important thing is timing. For almost 2 years of block/feint chambering I finally master this melee-style and I could use it very effectively. And the point of this? It was 2 years of practicing on MEDIUM melee speed servers.
When you changed the melee speed you basically ruined the melee-style I use. Both animations and timing is off.
Adapt? You might see me playing on GF server a lot (that's true), but my holiday ends and as Gi said there are actually people who have their jobs and in general real life because a lot of people aren't just 15, 16, or so...
I'm the guy who prefers more technical melee styles and overall fighting - chambering (feint chambering, block chambering, hold chambering, re-chambering...), holding, feinting, dolphinning, kicking... All based on skill and especially on timing.
The fastest melee speed is useful only for players who spam attacks, basically players who can hardly do melee-styles above ↑.
Not only this ruined melee-style I use but it also ruined my enjoyment of the game which I play only because of melee.

Take your regiment and practice on TR_GF. Server especially made for you - kebab players.
PS: I don't see any reason changing melee speed from medium to fastest due NWWC is played on medium
I think you're right, although the way it was worded may not have helped your point... but yes, skillful things and teamplay is much more noticable on medium. I recently joined an NA reg and have done a few groupfights and they are just spam fest and 0 teamwork and greed. (majority of them not all there's a few exceptions), anyway this is the type of players that like fastest. EU is known to be better at groupfighting, teamwork and partner switching. In NA partner switching is spinning ina circle spamming. to me, Fastest leads to that because it's so much more effective. whereas the skillful and groupfighting side of the game is so much more noticable on medium.
people who say they get bored fighting on medium just clearly arent stabbing effectivley if their fights are lasting ages because if they were then they would hit no matter the speed. so thats not a valid excuse i've seen writen a lot.
