The problem stems from the progression rewarding XP with more power.
In BF1 the system was much better because the basic guns were decent and the attachments were part of the gun variants. Progression unlocked more variants which gave you flexibility and variety but didn't just make you straight-up more powerful.
For BF6 they've gone with the old fake skill gap rubbish where players with more experience (which already gives you an advantage, of course, but a natural one) are handed attachments and guns that give them a direct power advantage over people buying the game later or having less time (noobs and casuals).
This will always make those casual players and noobs frustrated and put them off the game.
Elitist noob-stompers love it though.
It's a stupid lazy system and the whole progression XP thing wouldn't be an issue if they hadn't gone with this tired old model.
