Yes, but that is one of the causes of the problem. You have the people who stick it out, get really good and have the best equipment staying and every new player comes in as the minority and gets stomped. It is fun when you all know what you are doing, it is fun when no one knows what they are doing. It is miserable or boring when you mix the two, especially when the former outnumber the latter.
I once was a tiny white maggot without any notable skills and gear. Unless being really good at FPS, any beginners will hit his/her face on what seems an insurmountable wall made of Learning Curve and Veterans Players. Anyone will experience a fair share of dying. But anyone sticking around and persevering will slowly die less frequently and gain skills and gear. It's a really rewarding feel when you realize it.

You're going to have a helluva lot harder time reaching 26 million skill points than me, since I didn't have to deal with proto-powered gods everywhere during the closed-beta days. Back then, we Dust 514 players were far more numerous, and far less powerful.
In fact, I have a character whose I'm leaving at level 0 forever. I'm not even buying him skillbooks (the only skill he have is Corporation, because he got its own).
The funny thing is that I get more kills with him than my Main, because I mainly do gunfights with that one.
Mind that in order to achieve that, you must stick to two concepts:
1. Never be alone, stay behind a heavy or logi and cover him/her. Provide covering fire.
2. Never engage someone head-on. Use cover, flank them, stay out of sight as much as you can.
Another way to build SP quickly is to skill into Logistics roles. But stay behind the frontline! ...and out of sight as much as you can.
