For the rank 5☆, you are able to get it either by being in the list of the 11,000 people who have the most points OR by reaching 5.5 million points, which was added because of how high some borders get. For the points 5☆, you can get a copy of it ever 1.1 million points. In the beginning, this can be very hard, but it gets much easier as one slowly becomes stronger. I'm completely F2P, and I have ranked for the rank 5☆ in 3 events. You absolutely do not have to spend real money. But, I was playing for 2 years before I became strong enough to reasonably take on rank, and had to be strategic about how I used my LP items and dia. People who spend money are presumably either newer players who aren't actually strong enough to take on the rank they're going for, or people who spent their dia elsewhere and now don't have enough to use for the event without buying more, or people who are aiming for T1- that's getting 4 copies of the rank 5☆. (Since T1 requires so many points, you end up getting 5 copies anyway by reaching 5.5 million points.) The borders for T1 can be extremely high, so I presume that can be difficult without buying dia unless you have a huge amount of LP-restoring items (non-expirable ones are obtainable through special tournament dreamfes) and dia saved on your account to use.
