Guild Wars 2

a friend of mine told me you use ot be able to level up via crafting with ease, As i plan on being a heavy pvper i figure hey great opportunity. Are you still able to level up via crafting at a decent rate?

You gain 10 levels for each crafting skill you max out.

From 2 to 85 in about 3-4 hours, less if you already have everything you need and not need to spend time buying in the TP (and if you know what are you doing, following a messy guide will cost a lot of time).
