Actually, if you put some effort into it, you will be surprised how far you can go. Extremely far to be exact. I know this first hand.
If you max out your core skills (dropsuit electronics, engineering, weapon operations, sharpshooter, reload, etc.) that have a broad effect across all of the racial suits, you will notice three things:
1. Fitting your starter suit will become much easier.
2. Weapon damage and accuracy dramatically increases.
3. Module effectiveness increases.
Of course, skill books alone won't help. You need ACTUAL EXPERIENCE-BASED SKILL to make these militia suits extremely effective. If you know what you're doing, then you can be an effective killing machine against a proto player.
As a result, there are still a number of players out there running around in militia gear tearing up everyone wearing proto gear. I know because I saw these players first hand. And when there is one such player there will be many more coming.
CCP, please fix the Nova Knives. Thank you.

Fitting doesn't matter either since not spending any ISK or AUR would mean you'd never be able to change a fit...save for the free little bits your doled out at the start and event/newsletter rewards.
I've take that approach actually. Just recently started to skill back into logistics.
With militia modules, fitting is actually everything since militia-level stuff is generally inefficient when it comes to CPU and PG. So every little bit helps. Even with the expense of the non-starter militia stuff, the expense of those items is miniscule in comparison if you're a good player and know how to pick your battles.
A Caldari Assault can go for 3,000 ISK.
520 ISK for damage modules.
400 for shield extenders.
550 for shield rechargers.
520 for armor reps.
290 for cardiac regs.
610 for assault rifles
etc.
etc.
Let's assume you earn 150,000 ISK for match and each militia-only suit costs you 10,000 tops. You will have to die 15 times to go negative on the wallet. Most of the time, you don't even die that much if you pick your battles and go for the light-frame suits (plenty of them everywhere). I die about 8-10 times per match and my suits only cost about 8,000 ISK tops. In public matches, I can stay positive for a long time.

But your still paying for them. Pay-to-win is not cool, bruh.
Only ones who will have my respect are those that have been playing the game for a while and have not bought a single thing in the market.
You need to get your head checked. Pay to win these days, even by simians with half a brain, understand that pay to win only involves real world cash only. In game currency doesn't count because it has no real world value.
As for your final statement, you will never find such a person. Ever. Even your skill books require ISK to purchase. Even then it's not pay to win because there is nothing in this game that real world currency can give you an advantage for that ISK variants don't already provide.
