LOADOUT CHAOS

I'll preface this by saying I don't know the intricacies or technical jargon of BF6.  But I DO know the add-on progression is pure chaos.  

First, and I know this is redundant, the gold dots are driving me nuts.  There are gold dots EVERYWHERE.  It drives me nuts.  Can it really be that hard to fix?

Second, there is no true progression.  I get a ribbed vertical, then I get a lesser value stubby.  I get a thermal scope, and then get a lesser value 1.5 clear optical scope.  Is that how it is supposed to go?

I'm not the best player around, and when I get upgrade awards, I hope they will help me, only to be disappointed.
