The best way to learn things when stuff don't work is to take a break, go seek another opinion, discuss things online on how best to approach the situation. Maybe be a little more open minded instead of blaming the unfair game balance or jumping to conclusions. The game is hard to understand at first, but D:OS opens up so easily once you figure things out.
I'm a psycho in real life and I've met several people who blamed their situations on other external factors except for themselves. Don't have a job? It's not because they declined the job offers, it's because the job sucks. Not enough money? Not because they spent a lot, it's because price of things are increasing. It's all relative. I really blame bad upbringing for this sort of attitude.
On a more serious note. There's the easy difficulty button to add more EXP.
But I really love it if designers would reward good players more.
