EA is really bad at math. It is impossible to get max rewards F2P unless you gamble on marquee character packs. Even if you COMPLETELY MAX OUT GC FEATS EVERY SINGLE TIME, you will only reach the 44th tier on the episode track out of 50.
50 levels of 5,000 points each means 250,000 points needed to max out the track.
Dailies give you 300 per quest and 1,500 for completing all of them - that’s 3,300 per day for 28 days, or 92,400.
GC’s give you 9,525 (it’s only possible to get the first two tiers for the marquee character star feat unless you spend an ungodly amount of gems on the gamble packs, which is not possible F2P), and with 8 GC’s per episode that’s now 168,600 total.
Episode quests give 2,000 per quest, one new quest per day, so 56,000 over 28 days.
That’s 224,600 total out of the 250,000 needed to max out the episode track, and this is way less fun and more stressful than the old system, and gives worse rewards in comparison to what you used to be able to get the bigger your account gets, and significantly widens the gap between F2P and P2W accounts.

Looks like you're the one bad at math. The dailies is actually 3600 x 28 = 100,800, the episode quests are actually 22,000 per week for 88,000 and if you get both the f2p GC feats it's 72,800 for the whole episode. That puts you at 261,600 points, 11,600 more than is needed, giving you some leeway on the GC feats.
You also failed to account for the points you get for doing the 3* marquee feats, which is 4200 for the episode. And I can't see them anymore, but you'll get a thousand or so from the character quests you can complete without buying any shards as well.
