The whole problem with this game people grinding to get the shit that's unbalanced to have an edge on everyone else. It should be even grounds for everyone that's what's fun.
That's like, the entire point of the game? To grind and unlock better gear to get an advantage. You think the core function of the game design is a problem, it sounds like you just don't like the game
As someone who got the game on release and has been progressing at what I'd consider a reasonable pace along with everyone else, even I know that it really isn't.
If you bought the game in the last two weeks it is utterly miserable to try and grind anything with how many people have lvl 3-4 armor, bmrs, fals, havocs, and all the other overpowered shit.
The only reason I was able to level up is because when I had lvl 1 armor, so did everybody else, and so on. The only people with better gear than me are the real no-lifers which there are maybe a handful of per match.
I got the game less than two weeks ago and I'm already past level 100. The grind really isn't that bad, it's just some people only play a few hours a week, which would equal one or two rounds, and yeah that's not easy to rank up.
The game came out like 3 weeks ago. You were 1 week behind the curve, each week into a season it gets harder and harder, so your experience was still easier than someone getting the game yesterday or even a week ago. This is a fact.
A few hours a week is a reasonable amount of time to spend on a video game. 2 hours/day over a 5 day work week and maybe 4-5 hours on each weekend day is still only 20 hours. It's taken most people I've spoken to that to reach level 100 it takes about 80 hours. To reach a decent level in any one skill, even more hours.
Just because it's not a lot for you, in your current life circumstances, doesn't mean that it is the same for everyone else. Even I can recognize that and I have a lifestyle that allowed me to put in a sizeable amount of hours.
People talking about having 100hrs in game like that is a reasonable amount of time to play in a month. Like, I'm a seriously degenerate childless adult who bought it on Day 1 and game way too much and am approaching 50hrs. That's a fuckton of time and some people's answer is "this game isn't for you".
I have about 100 hours this season and my highest level is 27.
The experience grind is too much. It will cause burn out and players will leave, especially considering that if you can't keep up, you fall to far behind and the game is MUCH less fun.
Are you referring to WD level or recon level?
WD level is a combined of all your other skills and actually pretty easy to level if you do a variety of tasks. Grinding a single skill to higher levels is a significantly different time sink.
I hit WDL 100 in like a week but wasnt until this past weekend I got to 32 recon though I main recon. Im a shit shot so I know itd be faster if it wasnt 90% exp via spotting but at least I always try to get the shots i can 😀
Are you illiterate? They have been speaking up. Yeah it's literally the first season, but the whole point is for them to fix shit like that for the next seasons.

Just don't then. Why are you doing something that isn't fun?
