Is F2P dying a slow death?
Am I the only F2P/Dolphin who feels like after a dozen or so Marque events that the game is slowly being built towards whales, thus leaving us long-dedicated F2Ps out in the cold watching the game pic...

People forget when they want to throw how they are F2P and in top 10 in arena and fleet that it all depends on your shard as well. Take my shard for instance it is full of whales. It's nothing for me to run into a NS, Empire or CLS team with 3 + zetas and complete G12 gear in the 900 range of my arena shard. The top of my shard is even more ungodly. It is the same with in my fleet arena. Just at the 200 range I'm looking at 190k ship power with 7 star ships across the board. The top 50 are insane.
Some people get lucky and either get put on a half dead shard or maybe it's made up of more F2P but as far as my shard goes no F2P stands a chance really. So you can't sit there and say it's doable just because you have managed it in your shard. I would gladly let you visit my shard and you fight against the top 400 whales with 4mil+ GP.
Three Things coming to my mind:
First I assume you did a break of the game, wich inevitable leads to such situations. You stand still, while others progress. Espacially in early to mid game, even small breaks of a month or two completely break your neck. It's truly a problem of this game, that there is no catch up mechanic.
Second you state about any teams of G12 and multiple Zetas. Right now arena works like rock paper scissors. For every team, there's a counter. Palps kills NS, NS kill Jedi, Jedi kill Palps. But most important: Arena is a game of mods. You can have tons of G12 Toons and still suck if you didn't really understand mods.
Third... 190k Ship Power? That's really a beginners fleet. If you have an account of more than 3 months into ships and you have problems beating any 190k fleet, you clearly took the wrong choices. Sry Bro. No fault from CG here.
