if it wasn’t for random BGs I’d never play this game again.

I log in, do whatever I feel like at the time, and then log out.
i mostly make gold when not raiding.
Make a goal, achieve said goal, then take a break. Make friends to play other games or activities with. No need to go overkill on alts like you are (though thats personal preference).
I log in and pretend I’m a mythic gladiator. Then I pwn some murlocs that terrorized me in HC Westfall.
Don’t deny …I know you go back to old mobs and utterly destroy them

I only ever play 1 toon. My undead rogue.
I have 2 alts. Human hunter and undead DK that I don’t touch. I just lvled them to try out the class.
I could not imagine playing more than 1 character, it’s a huge waste of time to me.
Nobody is making you play alts, if you’re tired of replaying the same content then that’s all you brother, that’s a choice.

Nothing. I don’t fill vaults. I play Palia now and log in when the guild needs help with M+.

When I make alts, I tend to essentially main them for a handful of weeks until I get bored, rather than adding them to a list of characters to maintain simultaneously.
I tend to pick 2 characters at most to maintain at the same time.
I also just don’t really have the desire to go through the same gearing process on repeat anymore. So I end up doing the initial world content / queued content farm, and then I’ll do some low M+ for a couple weeks because I’m enjoying the alt, but then I probably stop.
2010 me did not do things this way. But 2010 me was brand new to endgame, so everything was bright and shiny.
Take breaks when you get to this point, finish your season goals then come back in 10.2 (but still log in for any events, mount/xmog farms, or just to say hi to guildies/friends just limit yourself to a hour or so a day for cooling off).
And while taking a break play another game (Classic WoW counts as another game) so when 10.2 comes back around you won’t be burned out.
When you have the feelings you are feeling right now at your current rate by 10.2 you will hit your limit and burn out potentially souring the patch for you.
You make a very good point Pyromor and are absolutely right, some people unto themselves don’t want ANY thing to do with fame. I respect that deeper level kind of noble humbleness that resounds legacy with honor and pride they choose to quietly keep within.
Maybe their park could be allot smaller then? 
I did it during WoD, and that blow torch burned me like the banshee did the tree. It was a thing to do, and now it’s done.
Focus on your favorite two or three, when you get all the chores done on them, log out. Watch a movie, or go for a walk, you’ll be glad you did.
Dreams. By which I mean doing dream surge events, and the dream of seeing tusks and the ur’zul drop.
Thanks Cane that’s really gracious of you.
Although I think you and other long time players, putting $ cost aside, the true value is ALL the TIME you have SPENT immersed in WoW at the foundation level of support. YOU are the BASE.
In my mind that has a real value and worth that should be recognized by Blizzard. They MUST know who the 10-15-20 year long-time players are that have the 10-20+ level 70 top-tiered geared, plethora of achievements including (rare) ones no longer available. This level of dedication and the TIME spent by a player is not just ‘casual’. A good chunk of their lives lived have helped create WoW for all it is.
This is equivalent to a store owner having the same customer walking in thru their establishments door and purchasing, praising the products they sell year after year and decades on.
In some cases even family generational continuation which at this point becomes Legacy status for the shopkeeper. This is when pictures of customers go up the ‘appreciation wall’ letting the world know the shopkeeper has deep gratitude and a genuine care for the base customers personally and not just thought of as a perennial invoiced anonymous credit card number.
I’m not holding my breath though cause unfortunately Blizzard is a mega-corporation of modernity and like many others have different cultural views, definitions, intentions, agendas.
Bring back the OLD WAYS!! 
I have 8 toons above 1750io, 6 toons above 2100io. I getyou, but I also just LOVE M+ and BGs and could do them endlessly.
Personally, I would like the olden days but I do realize the old is only temporary and that the game has to move forward. It is in stages we know that is growing and transversing ,even when ,we do look back remembering what it was longing for that same feeling again, it will never come back the same because we are changing so must it.

Palia you say? You have peaked my interest.
It’s very different from WoW, but made up of former WoW devs. They call it a “cozy mmo.” It’s all about collecting, farming, housing, some quests, becoming friends with NPCs, there’s a fun Market event right now, too. You can do everything together with others and you’re incentivize for it. You get more ore, more wood, better fish, etc. if you’re helping others. It’s in open beta and free.
Dis my character and my house:

I’ve gone from playing 16 toons over a week in Legion I now only play on one 3 days a week for no more than a few hours each time. Doing any more than that and you’ll burn out real fast
I have the attention span of a gnat. That’s pretty much how I do it. And probably why.
