Ive decided on imma be a Priest and Warrior on Alliance and Demon Hunter and Paladin on Horde, but I dunno if 4 alts is too much. I could barely do two alts in BfA, but I dunno if Shadowlands is better for alts or not.
It’s what I’ve been doing. I don’t gear out or do endgame though.

yea I’d like to get my 4 alts geared for at least heroic level
That’s more than I do. I only have one LFR kill in BFA

Depends what you want to do on your alts.
Casual implies you don’t care if they’re in BiS gear and at the cutting edge of playability, so should be pretty easy. They just need to get 60 and you play them at your own pace.
If you want to keep all 4 alts current? May feel real easy in the first month or so while everything’s fresh, but will grow increasingly more difficult as time passes, and Torghast just ain’t as fun as it used to be.

You have at least 2 years of this expansion. There are no time tables unless you put that on yourself.

Don’t neglect your Horde/Alliance alts.
Two and two for me. Druid/Warlock and Shaman/Warlock
im going to start with 2 horde (mage/dk) and 2 alliance (hunter/druid) in shadowlands. We will see if that becomes 2 or even 1 in about 3 months
What is your intent with the alts?
Bare minimum? Easy. Hell, do 15.
Getting them to an ilvl way too high for the content that you’re doing while attempting to get BiS everything? That’s kinda on you.

4 alts is more realistic than playing more than 1 spec on your main
I’m a casual player and I have seven max levels.
I will be trying 4 alts (for the first time) as well, to experience all 4 covenants.
The thing is there are seasons. So finishing something in two years is actually cut down to 5 months as rough average but 5 times over because we have 5 pvp seasons (tabards and mounts in the game already), and also that would be fitting with 5 seasons for m+ with the 5 zones (4 zones plus oribos or maw seasonal affix).
It really depends on what you do. I main 2 toons (a horde and an alliance). In past expats, I also played a bunch of alts. In BFA, I really could only play the two mains, and was only able to raid on one. BFA, was very alt unfriendly.
As a casual Im running ONE druid thru the content.
if I have absolutely nothing I can do in a given day on the main, I might try to get some gear on an alt.
other than that, BFA broke me for playing alts at the same time Im trying to play a main character. Aint falling for that crap again, lol
Very realistic. I really dont fit the main alt definitions i just use the term for people to understand me easier.
But how do you have alts when you round robin taking turns playing each character for a month or two at a time? Thats more or less what i do.
I have 8 alts that I play at different times, depending on what I want to do - and I am very casual.
I have been a casual since WOTLK. At my peak I had 14 Max level toons. I will probably do the same for Shadowlands…14-15 max level toons over a few servers, with usually 1-2 Toons focused on end game stuff.
I feel pretty casual and I have at least one of each level at level 50. Some classes I have two so I Can have an Alliance version and horde version. MY highest geared would be my vulpera rogue since I ran alot of M+ with him (around 7 nothing special). Rest around around 95 to 100 ilvl right now.
I like having all professions accessible at max level so I don’t have to depend on players gouging prices on stuff in the AH. Right now its not a big deal alot of stuff is dirt cheap but start of expansion its helpful.
