You can very well obtain most of the top level gears without paying anything. I've only ever spent like 10 bucks on the game when i got a 75% off plat.

You just need to play A LOT. Most of the time you will be looking for forma and potatos, you can get those sometimes from alerts, but if you play a lot, you'll get their blueprints once in a while.

Doing alerts that gives you 10k is a good way to make some money, you can also do the 35k corpus/grineer conflicts to get cash. Cash is good for buying weapon blueprints.

A lot of people that plays this game are kids or just anyone that refueses to buy plat. The only way to get plat is to trade prime materials for them. You can farm prime materials by joining tower games. Some prime stuff is cheap while some higher level rare ones will get you maybe 20 plat. There are also rare mods you can trade for plats.
