All players together

I love the game, love the gunplay, the looting, the loop, the sounds, many of it's designs despite the devs like to send the "fuck you" message to their playerbase, and I like to play it.
But I think the game really needs system to separate the players by some criteria, I want to play the game, but I dont want to grind.
When you play any game, you are mostly guaranteed to be in a match with similar skilled or whatever players. I'm not asking for ranked system, but something. I don't wanna be in the same match with squads while being solo, dont want to be in a match with people running tier S equipment while on the first week of a wipe.
I don't want to get clapped by people who is much better than me. I can get better, but why do I HAVE TO, just put me with people at a similar skill level.

I know I can kill thicc bois with a Mosin, but I dont want to be always the underdog. Neither I want to see every match every player sweating and using the same gun, same ammo, samme everything cos they can afford it every raid. If they can, good for them they grinded they get the reward.
But why do I have to face them?

Im glad they added upgrades to the offline system. But it just looks like a hole where to put the trash playerbase, a sort of "ok" solution.

I know, its a hardcore game, its niche, all that. Im ok with it but it wouldn't hurt anyone to allow players from different perspectives to play the same game they love without making it frustrating. You can make a game as hardcore as you want, it's still a game.
