This is my very first post and I couldn't possibly find a better thread to post on. OP, it appears to me that you are judging this game on preconceived notions of fps games. Big mistake! One battle should show you that. This game is confusing at first, yes. However, you get out what you put in. Take the time watch the tuts. It's worth it. I get raped all the time. Its part of the atmosphere and I feel legitimacy of the game. If someone has been a merc for longer it stands to reason that person would have better gear, weapons, armor, skill, and overall know how. I love this game. It breaks the fps mold. Totally. What works in run and gun games does not here. Those who enjoy lone wolf run and gun will fade. Just like they did at MAG's release. To claim that the dev must fix all that you claim is broken is very short sighted. CCP has attempted something truly gamechanging here. Stand back and admire it. Adapt to it. I for one would like to see the cookie cutter gun games go away totally. Dust is about consequences. Buy what you want but if you die you lose it. Blew my mind at first but if you think about it, isn't that about as legit as a shooter can get? People always cry for realism. Its here my friend and its freaking complicated.

This is the way it was meant to be played. Eve Online is operating under the same rules in New Eden for the past nine years and it has been working well since then. CCP is not going to fix what's not broken. 1. The game is suppose to condition you into learning how to be less reckless and start managing your resources as future battles will be dictated by resources and their availability. 2. Starter fits are ok. There is no shame in using them. In fact, veteran players are often using them because they ran out or are starting to run out of expensive gear and are trying to recuperate their income in the meantime. 3. Playing strictly with starter fits after help you hone in your skills by making the most of what little you have. That way, by the time you get better gear, your experience will ensure your success. 4. Adapt or Die. That is the mantra that is cried out all throughout New Eden in both Eve Online and in Dust 514. There is no exception to it. If you are not willing to adapt, then you will die and therefore this game may not be for you at all. 5. As Garrett mentioned, using the AURUM-based militia BPO suits is a good start. Because it give you the option of not having to constantly restock on cheap gear. But please keep in mind that the militia BPOs are limited in terms of stats and variety. So don't depend on them too much. 6. No kill cam. A lot of us here have played COD and we agreed that the kill cam only takes away from what Dust 514 is about. Adaptability in a harsh environment. 7. CCP did let us do skirmish months ago back in June without the clone reserve limit. But surprisingly we all demanded the limit to be imposed for skirmish. And CCP agreed and they did. Also, the clone limit will be an important factor in warfare in the future in terms of resource management. 8. It doesn't make sense to give you 20 units of a weapon for the cost of 1 unless CCP raises the cost to compensate. New Eden has no commodity in its thriving economy that allows you to buy more than one for the price of one unless another player makes a private deal with you via exchange contracts. 9. The arrows over your head is part of the Tactical Network (TACNET) that displays enemy location based on line of sight. If you see someone nearby, they will appear to everyone else in your team via the TACNET. But if you lose sight of them and no one else can either, then that enemy merc has disappeared off the TACNET. I am able to bypass this by using plenty of cover such as containers, hills, structures, etc.

You can learn to upgrade your character and try out new suits later. If that's the case, then perhaps an option should be added in the character selection menu to simply go into an Ambush match or an NPC-run skirmish match in high-sec right away would suffice. But they still have to go through the login process since everything is processed in the server.

It does amaze me to see players wanting to play a console game that is suppose to be different yet they make requests to make it similar to others. I guess the OP doesn't realize that a lot of players don't all like cookie cutter games.
