Crafting should be an optional activity. Like mining, salvage, pew pew. Don't force me to do activities that I do not enjoy. I played WoW for 10 years and never crafted (from any professions in-game) or did PvP (I was ganked a few times, but that was not PvP), and was able to participate in end game activities (raids). It is ok to have OPTIONS for activities, but do not force them to players. Unless it is a tutorial to show the basics.
