Why such a focus on PVP?
This is an honest question. PvP in “turned based” games seems inherently flawed to me.. as it heavily depends on who goes first. And yes, I know there is pve in this game.. but it’s pretty weak. It ...

I deny this statement. First because there are plenty of people that compete without spending. And second because skill is not a deciding factor in any current PvP. Lack of skill can be, but when every interaction is against an AI there isn't a great deal of skill needed.
I’m f2p.. been playing for 3+ years.. I’m basically stuck in between rank 100 - 200 in squad arena. I win about the same amount as I lose. It’s become very boring, and stagnant.
Then you are doing something wrong, and that has nothing to do with $$.
Really ? How did you come to that conclusion? If all f2p have the same idea which is go for the current meta they should all reach the meta teams at the same time basically resulting in no progress. I saw this with JTR where I couldn’t break from 100-200 . I splashed like £300 on light reven and got to rank 2 yes rank 2 . I refused to buy darth revean so when I got him f2p I’m currently 50-100 and everyone around me also now has darth reven.
Staying in the top 50 as a F2P player is definitely a challenge. Sometimes you have to skip a meta and go for an easier to acquire anti meta. All last summer I can a Rex (L), DN, CLS, Thrawn, Nest team to climb through the Traya teams that dominated the meta. And there was a month or so of work that went into figuring out a good counter.
Another strategy that often goes hand in hand is hoarding gear and crystals to jump on a new meta or anti meta immediately. This is the path that would have likely yielded the best results this time around. A 6 star Padme or G13 GG can get to the top of most arenas. You'd just need a way to acquire and build the characters and teams rapidly. Meaning resource management.
Your £300 alleviated the need for resource management (i.e. hoarding).
