One of the reasons for WoW's success was because it was so friendly to alts.

Look at how Legion treats alts.

Artifacts
Artifact knowledge researching: from lvl 1-25 (takes a month+?)
Artifact relics: very hard to get the ones you want due RNG.
Artifact weapon traits/talents:
    All 34 points in your primary Artifact Trait tree:
    For ONE Artifact Weapon - 5,216,130 Artifact Power
    For TWO Artifact Weapons - 10,432,260 Artifact Power
    For THREE Artifact Weapons - 15,648,390 Artifact Power
    For FOUR Artifact Weapons - 20,864,520 Artifact Power


Class Hall advancement:
    Tier 1: Costs 2 hours and 50 to research; 1 day and 500 to swap. Requires level 100.
    Tier 2: Costs 4 hours and 500 to research; 3 days and 2000 to swap. Requires level 105.
    Tier 3: Costs 7 days and 1000 to research; 3 days and 2000 to swap. Requires level 110.
    Tier 4: Costs 10 days and 10000 to research; 3 days and 2000 to swap. Requires level 110.
    Tier 5: Costs 12 days and 12500 to research; 3 days and 2000 to swap. Requires level 110.
    Tier 6: Costs 14 days and 15000 to research. Requires level 110.


Class Halls
    Class Hall armor sets require Revered & Exalted reputations.
    Class Hall quests require mythic dungeons.
    Class Hall missions from table require order resources (which means you need to grind them out).


Professions
    Professions require Revered and Exalted reputations.
    Professions require long quest chains that take will take several days or weeks, depending how much you play.


p.s. I got most of this data from wowhead.

I don't know about everyone else, but i haven't even started on any alts due to the massive gating required. It's a shame that WoW has gone back to this hardcore mentality.
