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 have 2 accounts that are both f2p. One started less than a month after launch. The other started about 18 months later.
If by end game you mean to the tip of the spear then that won’t ever happen on my second account. I chug along on it, and get things whenever I get them. You just get used to being clobbered all the time, and waiting an eternity for anything. It does pretty well in GAC though. I got Kyber in division 3. But I never have enough crystals for anything meaningful, and gearing takes forever.
My first account is very much tip of the spear, but it’s stressful, and time consuming to maintain, and the devs keep making it harder to even tread water. The main reason I haven’t quit that one is because of the sunk cost fallacy. Kyrotechs definitely sucked the joy out of that account. Pretty much just keep going out of habit, and in the false hope they will loosen up on a few older, more miserable gear pieces now that we have (the evil, dreaded) Kyros and (the not so bad, but way too soon) relics to gate progress.
So yeah, if you start a second account you can enjoy it f2p if you just don’t expect to make “end game” quickly or at all depending on how you define it. Just get stuff as you get it, and plug along slow and steady. You can make some decent progress without a huge daily time investment, but it will take a couple of years of consistency. Otherwise, get your credit card out, and go to town. It still won’t happen overnight.
