12 level 60 out of 12 (although the latter two deltas only recently managed it). Mostly by doffing, only one is through with the whole storyline. All with maxed reps, although mostly due to events (I really enjoy both the summer and the winter races). It's not as much of a grind if you don't have the target to get to 60 asap or get that spec tree filled, but just enjoy when you get another level. I also don't have any real high end gear on them (except maybe for the oldest) but they're all doing well enough in STFs (no elite though) to not be a drag on the team. And yes, I am enjoying them all, no Dil grinders, everyone with a different ship and setup. (I only wanted 9, one for each faction/carreer combo, but then had to make a Delta for each faction).
As for grinding: I would recommend not to do it. Don't argala one toon five times in a row (of course unless you enjoy it). Do something else with the others inbetween. That ship trait can wait until next week. It's also more effective if you get the bonus marks for everything you do.
My mother was an epohh and my father smelled of tulaberries
Just one, so far. I took my main through the DR patrol grind to get to 60. The others, I'm not going to bother doing that with; they will just get to 60 when they get there.
All of them except my Delta, She's taking her time experimenting with all the TAC ships.

I have 3 toons out of 11 at max level, two feds and a rommie. I'm (casually) working on some of my KDF toons, but they won't reach 60 anytime soon, as my main is one of my lvl 60 feds. Them main reason I want to get my Klink to max level is just to complete the trio, really. That and to see what the Dahar Master sash looks like on my toon.

0 out of 5 characters. Granted, I mostly play my main character; a Fed Engineer, it is only level 57. I have been playing STO on and off since Beta and do enjoy many aspects of the game; however, the leveling process after 50 is atrocious. At the pace I am going, I will be level 60 around 2017.
6 plus my main. My second Delta Rec (my first Rom) is only lvl18, and I have a lvl40 and lvl6 in the wings as well. Only my first Delta and 1 other of my lvl60 is even remotely equipped with gear. 1 main and a whole group of farmers.

Currently 2, my Fed main and my primary KDF. Next closest is my Fed Allied Romulan at 58. The rest are around 52-55 except for my Delta KDF.
I can't take it anymore! Could everyone just chill out for two seconds before something CRAZY happens again?!

I have seven (7) characters. Of those, only one (1) is not 60 yet. And I really have no plans to get him to 60. If it happens, it happens. Nothing is worth grinding for.
10 for 10 here... I tend to play only two or three "seriously" at any time, but I cycle them in and out of activity, and even with the inactive ones, I keep up with doffing and such, so it mounts up.
I've got 7 of 8 toons to level 60 thus far. my 8th is only a few days worth off doffing runs away being 60. I've fallen back and concentrated on levelling my main, even managed to max all the spec tree's out on him and have a few points left over. As for the rest, well with the lack of alt friendliness in the game atm. They've all been reduced to doffing mules.
Just the one here. I find that the gap between 55-60 really drags and I've only got around to leveling my main so far. I plan to get to 60 on my 5 other characters... one day?
One, though I have a couple that aren't too far away from it so they'll likely see it someday. I just don't have the time or energy to devote to more than one alt these days. Not that I mind, its cheaper and I'm having plenty of fun following in Scotty's footsteps with my engineer.
Nine level 60, including a Dahar Master Delta Recruit. 1 Level 56 DR, 1 Level 31 DR, and a Level 10 DR. I have been running the Level 60 Dahar Master DR almost exclusively now for the last three months. This character has completed ALL missions, and those that require a few play-throughs to get all the rewards as well. All Reputations are Tier V including Iconian (my only one to have even done it). All Commendation areas are Level 4 except the usual suspects (Colonial, Recruitment are Level 2, Exploration Level 3). Completed all items on the DR checklist.
That character is in a very good place overall with over 49k Marks, 646k Fleet Credits, and over 575 'Elite Marks'. Level 22 Pilot, Level 11 Intelligence, Level 15 Commando; the character took all the 'free' Spec points from all FEs that were awarding them. The character ran and unlocked the Summer Event Nandi for the Account. Bought all the Risian Doffs, bought swimwear for the three DRs that had none. She is also sitting on 150K refined (just spent about 150K for Upgrades) and 850k unrefined Dilitium.
I have no complaints on the DR Event and am glad I started up some new characters to fill in the career gaps for Feds, Romulans, and KDF.

9 chars, all 60, all mk 14, all have 1 primary and 1 secondary tree maxed out at least.
They have specialized roles in PVE (ground/space/DPS/support) and bring me in a position where I can bring the right toons for the right tasks. They are also all doff experts with hundreds of purple doffs and farm XP, fleet marks, Dil and contraband.
Recent Dil event, constant toon-jumps to grab daily mark rewards as well as a good community to play in bring me in a position to refine 72k dil/day atm. I don’t think I can keep this rate up all the time but surely do if I can get myself to log into this game for about 3 hours a day. 20 mins of play usually covers 8k Dil earning in my case.

i just formatted the computer again so i cant check on the status of my characters just yet, but last i looked i had 2 level 60's. a number of others above level 50 but none of them are level 55 yet either.
my main K'mec and my DR, Theodore M. Sevrin. both feds. i want to get a rom and a kdf to the finish line, but i have never cared for geko's vision of fun progression. so if and when the idea strikes me, i may try it. but i got other concerns coming up that will last into 2016 at least, so i wont have the time to do anything about it.
T6 Miranda Hero Ship FTW. Been around since Dec 2010 on STO and bought LTS in Apr 2013 for STO.
Three at level #60, two of which are Federation (an Andorian, and a Saurian) using T5 Fleet ships with Mk XII weaponry, and the other is a Klingon in a Fleet T6 Negh'var, also using Mk XII weaponry. All Engineers.
I have 37 characters spread across 3 accounts, 26 of them are level 60. Out of that 26 only 4 of them were levelled the conventional way (actually playing the content) all the rest were levelled almost exclusively via doff'ing.
My Main out of 4. The others are coming along, slowly. Rom ENG (Waiting on Fleet Faeht/Rest Of His Gear), Klink Sci (she's waiting on her t6/fleet mogh) and a second Fed Tac (Waiting on pathfinder Class/Gear For Build). I only have so much time on STO because of my job so I'm keeping most focus on just my main. The one whose closest to 60 is my 2nd Fed Tac, he's at 57 just overtook my klink.
