I'm not a legacy player and I've logged about the same number of hours as you have and I have every class to 50. All of em (DOW, DOM, DOL, and DOH; main geared to i107, no battle class under i86). It's less a function of time and more a function of what you chose to do in the game.

To the OP's point, I'm going to echo the other posters in saying that the alternate classes is meant to give you flexibility in content, not something that should be required to run content.
