As you can see, in Giran, Aden or Goddard, there are many of bots, characters with simple nick like "test, xeee, tttt" etc. and with no grade gears. I know that GM try to take more ppl on server but by cheating? :)
Not at all will be members of a clan. Cause not all of clans want to invite randoms. They should change newbie buffer, that should buff all time. Imho...
I'm not BR kid so I mean low rate (x2 - x7). Probably I'll play solo or with 1/2 friends, I thinking about alt char (buffer) but thats all ;) . So what you suggest to take? Maybe any kind of nuker? :) If it'll possible I will join any kind of clan ;) so will be easier to takie pt or smth.
I think after grand openning. But, imho, you should add NPC Buffer, why? Cause casual/random players will leave server faster than invite it and you should know that they will be ~50% of server population.
