I have to sadly agree with you. Not only are grineer harder since they hit harder and have group tactics, but the massive grindwall ahead of you in order for you to buy all the slots, forma, and potatoes you would need to advance is enormous. I have been playing since it hit open beta and i still havn't tried every weapon or maxed out all weapons with forma. i have had to sell off half of all the weapons i owned because i never had enough plat to simply purchase slot after slot.

people always cite trading as if a new player will be able to sell fast hands or ammo mutation mods for more than a couple plat, and that's while sitting on the trading chat for hours hoping to find some rich guy who burns hundreds of bucks on a free-to-play game and finds pity in a pleb who can't afford it.

Because we can't earn plat in the game and potatoes are rewarded so rarely, there is an extremely heavy time and grindwall with this game. a few days ago i burned 500 uncommon fusion cores and a million credits maxing a vitality mod only to find that they are pretty worthless now, with offers coming under 100 plat when before they were 200 plat or more. They are no longer worth the time and effort to max to sell for scraps.

items are quickly losing their value, players who have lots of money bully people who don't into stop complaining about the grindwall since they just buy into the game or get lucky, and DE listens to the end gamers who play void and complain that the new weapon isn't powerful enough when normal players like me find it just fine.

Of course, it depends on the person. If you can find people high ranked who can help you move along then besides not having potatoes or slots for new weapons, you would be well off. I helped this one kid and his uncle advance in the game from when they were both rank 4 now the kid is rank 7. It's not impossible to advance quickly while being new but they are the exception, not the rule.
