I only brought 2 months of VIP. I dont think thats enough to be called a p2w eh? (Provided thats pay-2-win)
Moreover, i spent money on VIP package via my own time doing surveys via opinions post (still doing), as bittersteel suggested who used to do that too and then get the redeemed points to buy stuff in bbay.
And bittersteel was a rare user too, but again look at him now, definitely with time people would improve their gear. No reason he would rely on rares anymore for those epics he saved for a long time. Similarly many other f2p players have turned into epics and legs (t1-2) thanks to achievements too.
For the long part like most f2p players around my level i saved epic dupes for a long time till i reached my current state. I was solely focused on saving those dupes i need (LRM, rail etc) and scraping the rest that came along the way. Also i regularly scrap common gear a lot so as to recieve good stuff, along with leg pieces on some days and thats the reason i could get my leg napalm recently. (Also 9/10 on green yaay)
Below is the evidence that i scrap commons a lot by the number of common parts i have -

Also this shows my setup which am proud of, as i EARNED my way through it.
