Playing an expansion as current content has been a lacklustre MMO experience

1. Because leveling a crafter job from 1-90 with leves can be done very quickly and trivial if you know which leves to do for efficient turn-ins with little to no downtime. Ive done so with multiple characters within a week, which is more than enough time within a patch raid tier.

2. Master recipes are easily gotten through scrips. And there are multiple avenues to get them quickly.

It really just takes a little bit of effort of your time to get to endgame crafting. This is actually a system that's funny enough criticized by the hardcore crafting community due to how easy it is for somebody to get to endgame crafting and start taking over people's markets if they're smart enough.

So, armed with that knowledge, would you be able to able to omnilevel your professions in couple evenings here as can be done there (though across a multiple characters there, obviously)?

The crux of the argument was that XIV's crafting is a less accessible and longer grind for ultimately less value. Even if a player less in the know would overestimate the time it'd take to omnilevel, that definitely seems to hold true.

We can use that same argument here you use then. How long does it take to get a completely fresh alt in WoW to get to endgame and to also level their professions? Certainly not in a single evening. Crafting progression is very linear and getting to max omnicrafter just takes like I said a week at most. I see no issue how its being done in this game.
