There's really no hope of winning with GP only now. You have to realise that CA is a pay-to-win game, and the chances of winning will be higher if you used NX. It's gonna be very hard for you to compete with other players if you're deciding to be a gp only player, because NX items are waay too OP now :S

It's the sad truth of combat arms: you must need money to win in this game. Even veterans will find it a little struggling if they are using all GP.
