DUST Search - Hey developers, give me more skill points or reduce the cost to raise skills!

I've only been playing this game for a little over a month and I like it because it's something different than call of duty, but I am seriously annoyed with how hard it is to get better quality weapons, suits, vehicles, and upgrades. I hate playing in matches when everone else can kill me almost instantly because everything they have is superior to everything I have. How do you expect to keep players interested and coming back to play this game, when new players are always getting slaughtered by the experienced players who have months of game time on their profile? Why should I have to wait a year or two just so I can have enough skill points to unlock everything which will then give me a fighting chance in this game? I think you guys need to give out skill points like you do ISK, which is by the thousands; or dramatically lower the cost to raise skill! If those ideas don't appeal to you then here is an idea for the developers who are greedy; how about you sell skill points on the playstation store, just like you sell AUR there.
I hope you guys can come up with some solution to make this game better and more enjoyable. If not, then I guess I'll either stop playing or only play once a month becasue I'm not gonna be wasting my free time getting slaughtered in a game that is tailored to players who have the best of everything this game has to offer only because they have been playing this game the longest. I understand for every first person shooter game that you have to invest game time to get better quality items but the requirements for this game are ridiculous.

I know it might seem like it's the opponent's superior gear that beats you, but keep one thing in mind: Anyone using the top gear has also played for quite a while. This means, one must assume, that they have also acquired a solid knowledge of how to play the game. They know several sneaky tactics, can probably predict to some extent the most likely course of action a newer player might take. This is a lot more useful than just better gear. I'm by no means among the most skilled Dust players, but have played for a few months. In mostly militia/standard gear with the odd advanced module sprinkled on, I often do decent in matches; top quarter of killboard with the first and second places every now and then. Not every time, but when I place worse, it's almost always because I've made the wrong choices in this particular match or due to the opponent being better at teamplay. Teamplay really is the one big thing that will consistently let you do better. Find a good corp with team oriented squadding and people willing to teach you tricks, and I guarantee you'll do better.
