I'm f2p so i don't have the crystals to buy the gear i need. I "need" 12 cuffs and 10 guns. For the same amount of crystals you can get well over 22million credits btw. On top of that I also need 10 chedak comlinks. Not sure why the sollution for the gearbottleneck is buying them for crystals, but not for the creditcrunch. (Except for the simple reason that credits are easier to obtain than gear, wich is kinda making my original point more valid.)
Heroics give me alot of scanners, furnaces not so much. + I keep running out of those darn syringes to craft furnaces.

12 cuffs and 10 guns... how many characters are you planning to gear with that amount of guns and cuffs? 10? 22 million credits is almost nothing and allows you to level up 3 characters. If you include mods then its only 2 characters. If you compare how many characters you can equip with 12 cuffs plus 10 guns vs 22 million credits then it is obvious which resource is scarcer.

Gear offers a way better value crystal wise... I am completely f2p myself but rank top 5 everyday so I have some crystals to spend.

Thats just for my 22 characters above lvl 60. Obviously I won't gear them all, but it a good indication on how much gear is needed.

It takes longer to collect the gear I need to max out a character than it takes to get the 10mil credits. That you would spend crystals on gear, but not on credits is a logical result of that fact. Better value. Since i'm personally not looking for medium geared characters, the gear problem is much worse for me than the credit crunch. Yes, i can buy the occasional stun cuff with my arena winnings (i also finish top5 daily) wich softens the gear issue a bit, but not by much.
