Don't worry still a years of this shit, you will get exalted eventually
There are the world quests everyday (some of them are 6 hours only, so if you cant check often you missed a few.
Last week we got extra rep on all quests, that helped a lot.
Only do the missions at 200% so you get 250+750 tokens.
Twice since it was launched there were world quests that gave 2x 250rep tokens BoA, so if you have alts, you could do those on alts and send them to your main.
16.5/21K as of tis morning, missed a few days of missions because of trip, so i dont doubt it possible to be exalted as of last monday, and no real rush, the raid isnt even out yet, put the brakes on folks...
OP must be missing a lot of WQs. Exalted on 4 toons already, even with alts continuesly sending rep tokens to the main..haven't used Darkmoon buff or anything else.
Focus their WQs, and watch for table missions that give AotL rep. If you get one of the latter, make sure you complete it at 200%; that second tokens is worth 3x the first (250 and 750, respectively).

I'm 4.1k rep away from exalted with AotL and about 500 rep for Argussian Reach. I missed the first two days of the patch and didn't have many alts with WQs unlocked until a few days ago. I also didn't do every WQ available, didn't check multiple times per day, didn't have all that many class hall missions that gave rep and I didn't use the DMF rep buff. If I had played on the first day of the patch and unlocked it on all of my alts, I would have been exalted with both factions easily.
Some people also may have been lucky with Demon's Soulstone drops (1k rep to all Legion factions). I've gotten two on my main character and I haven't been farming rares that actively.
World quest tokens are BoA regardless of your personal reputation. That may not have been the intention, but they are Blizzard didn't fix them, so people technically could get exalted as soon as the first WQ giving tokens as a reward poppep up.
It's only the follower mission rewards that remain BoP till exalted is reached.
And what comes to you needing army of alts to get exalted fast, no you didn't. You only had to game the follower system with reduced mission durations.
