My AP is already 50 plus despite it being ~20 when I started the 3 hours.
So no, it's not challenging to gear an alt, it would be challenging if I were to continue and want him perfectly Mythic geared from this point. But again, that's an issue that can be solved by asking guildies for assist with boosts.
It all depends how you approach things, it's hard if you make it hard. It's SUPER hard if you're aiming for perfection right away.

The opposing faction says hello, yes that is very different.
But the reasons for levelling an alt are many and varied. Sometimes it's just that you want to change things up and go melee/caster for a bit, other times you might want to heal for a bit. There really are hundreds of reasons to level an alt, repeating the story isn't really a factor.
