Um I can't even start a queue to get into matchmaking. I'm not getting an error message btw.

Paying a certain amount of money doesn't give you benefits over others that put you in a disadvantage. That is a pay to win model and we do not have that.
There is also no plan to have some type of gear score. A high-level player can choose to go in with full or no gear. The level only shows progress and possibly what they have in the stash but not directly related.
Like any game, experience puts you in a better position since you know the game more, the maps, the mechanics, etc. That being said, EFT is not an easy game and you will die a lot. As a new player, even more. Experienced or not, 100+ money spent on the game package or not, you will still die a lot. That is just how EFT works. You also cannot choose who you go up against or how many. That's the whole idea of the game too.
With that out of the way, give it time, play more and learn more, run with a squad since EFT is meant to be played as a team. Enjoy and welcome to Tarkov!
