turn out for non HE events wasn't really much different if you account for your points 2 & 3. if there were only HE events I would likely not play at all. And we usually see a couple people in those who don't play the other gauntlets.
I don't really think we'll ever see a change in 2 or 3, those are just human nature. Focus should be just over all getting attendance up.
TBH I think it's just a tough sell and the site overall would need to be much bigger for the gauntlet to get bigger. There are a lot of different reasons to play poker, but not really a lot to play the gauntlet. It's either too cheap or too expensive or too tough for players to play it for profit. It's not much for ego unless you don't really get poker. And it's often not much fun depending on who is playing or how many other tables you have going.
I think the best bets for a small bump:
experimenting with different days/times hoping to find a magic one people don't have much else to do - Sundays are really busy days for players and sports.
allowing people to gain from playing more events.
