Get1 & Get2 are destroying the game
Allright, I want to highlight in this post my point if view about the recent changes and more and more toons/ships which have to be bought with get: It was allways an achievement to take beat any ...

In the context of this thread (GET) this post makes absolutely no sense. Ironically GET is one of the only currencies (and in fact, one of the only "things") in the game that is NOT monetized. You can't "speed" up GET acquisition significantly. Sure being, in a stronger guild can yield a few more. Yes, being in a larger guild (45-50) that can put up more stars in TB helps as well. But very little of that has to do with money. Guild size is simply a function of what guild you choose to be in - there are many f2p guilds that are "large" (45-50) - and many of them, especially those with long time players are getting in the mid 20s in terms of Geo TB stars. If the top "whale" guilds are pulling down 30 stars or so, that's only a few hundred GET difference.
Yes, people that pay to support the game have an advantage - that's by design, otherwise, why would they pay?
All of that said, GET is a "playwall" currency, not a "paywall" one. And you know how you can tell? Look at some of the people complaining the most about GET as the way to star up Malak and GAS (hint: it's the whales, not the f2p).
TL;DR - GET as a way of "gating" progress is not a f2p v. whales issue.
Yes and no. GET can only be accumulated through playing, yes. However, it's theoretically "easier" for a whale to save their GET than a f2p, because a whale can simply purchase gear instead of spending GET on it. I had plenty of GET saved for GAS, but that was at the price of foregoing lots of gear. There are a couple of heavy spenders in my guild who had the GET saved for GAS, but they forewent no gear; they just bought it instead.
Hoarders don't worry about this.
