What are the pros and cons between Ems and Gms

Earlier last month, I've quit GMS because Nexon America is just bad. For sure I'm not returning to GMS any time in the future, but I'm still not sure if I should quit MS for good yet. Hence, the only other English supporting server in existence is EMS and I would like to ask the EMS players a few questions about the server they don't mind.

How's the community compared to GMS? Are the majority people there mature or jerks?
How stable is the economy? Use GMS big four for comparision (Scania, Bera, Broa, Windia)
How legit is the server, I mean compared to the amount of botters in GMS, does EMS have more or less?
Does NexonEU screw up as much as NexonNA?
Is there any heavily populated english servers?
How do I play EMS from Canada?

Before anyone brings up the cons about EMS, here are the things I don't mind so you don't have to mention them.

Slower than GMS releases for content -> I could care less. At this point I'm sure most maplers would want Nexon to slow down on the release of new classes.
Start out with no money -> I believe in hard work. I can start off with nothing, but in a few weeks I should be able to make enough for pot money. I've hit 20b+ before within six months, I can do it again.
Less populated than GMS -> Eh, as long as it's not dead like GMS ghost worlds and there's people to talk to, I'll be fine.
Expensive stuff? -> I'd probably either play just for fun, or merch away for a couple of months and buy it later.

If anything else comes to mind, I'll add it later. Thanks for your help!

Pro for EMS
-Less Hackers
-GMs actually do stuff
-No duping

Cons for EMS (the reason I stay in GMS)
-Much higher ping because you have to connect to European servers meaning more lag.

Please elaborate on the necessity of the comment. I'm sure there must be a really good reason to do so.

^ Above, let's say the reason why I quit GMS was partially my fault. I did spend from april to december 2012 merching legitly to get 95% of my mesos. During mid December, I've started doing some "stuff" and within three days I got a hammer. Sure, it was my fault, although I do find it a waste of my time playing a game ran by a crappy sub-company so I went on a hiatus. Whatever I'm doing in EMS, it's probably would be 100% legit since I don't feel like wasting another half a year just to lose it again.
