== Content ==
			
Crafting and tradeskills have always been my least favourite part of MMO's - but often they are a mandatory grind to get the bonus's they provide for end game content.
 
Are they always mandatory in this?  Or can I more or less ignore them and move on with my day?

			You can largely ignore it if you really would like to.  There are no "gotta-have-it" aspects to each crafting profession that impact the endgame.  If you like alts and twinking them a little, you might find grabbing an armor or weaponsmithing trade to be beneficial.  If you are deeply into housing, architecture might be rewarding in that fashion.
