People with alts, how do you do it?
I see a lot of people with an alt account, or even multiple, my question is how do people find time to get several accounts to end game? I have been playing since the first year and I’m at <2.5m gp. A...

I run a samsung S8+ that has a secure vault which acts as a partition on my phone so I can run both accounts from the phone.
The time is never an issue as once you've gotten past the first 80 levels everything becomes sim. My main is 3.8M and my alt 1.4M. I can run thru all the dailies on both in about 30 min. Sometimes it takes longer if theres an assault battle, but I'm hopeful those will get a sim eventually.
For me my alt is a side project that I dont worry much about growth. It's just there and I can play it when done with my main.
With any account the only real time suck is guild events; TW, TB, and raids. Other than that Mods are the only real way to spend much extra time playing. Optimizing mods and farming/slicing mods can be a bit of time, but only needs done periodically.
As for P2P/F2P, my main is not a whale, but I do spend money at major meta shifts if I wasnt fully prepared. I think JKR was the most expensive around $300 since I was focusing on smugglers and was blind sided by JKR. DR and Malak I think I spend maybe $150 combined, mostly on gear for Malak since I unlocked him first run. Since that (and farming mods) allowed me to score high in arena I generally don't spend anything (maybe a $5 gear pack once a quarter) between meta shifts. Hoard and plan and try to minimize cost at meta shifts to stay with the meta.
My alt is growing F2P. I might have bought one $7 gear pack with him total, and simply because I had the money in my google survey account. I have JKR team mostly done, I lack GK because I've been leaving the alt in a ticket guild for my cluster so it doesnt do raids often. I believe I should unlock DR this time with the alt but don't have Sith trooper or anything to complete the team.
TLDR: The trick to alts is getting into the routine of dailies, not being arena focused on any except your main, and keeping any alts focused on only farming and gearing the most vital things.
Hope that helped if you plan to try an alt. It can get exhausting at times, but at those times simply stop playing the alt.
