You're missing a part of how a free player can do well in events. It's related to time. The longer you play, the more R4 cards you have. The more R4 cards you have the stronger your team is when the event starts. This is key, because you get more free cubes at the beginning of an event the stronger your team is.

I'm currently playing for free and I took two days off and I'm rank 5k~. I don't play super hardcore either. I just have it on on my phone while I'm playing WoW or LoL or while I'm watching TV. I work full time and don't have my phone on when I'm at work.

I've played since it first released for iOS and I've gotten high enough rank in all but one or two events to get at least one R4 episode card without playing too hard.
