[Discussion] PVE mode struggle

So after having some bad time in pvp mode I thought that pve mode would be better for me as a casual player, but it's like 10 times harder it seems, lol. I actually had more successfull extractions in pvp mode. PMCs in pve mode are just insane. I am lvl 3 guy with some early gear, and they have groups of 3 full geared. If I encounter any PMC during a raid I am done, they just rush me. Any tips?
