I spend a fair amount of my game time in WvW. I like the idea of crafting my own legendary, though. But I’d need to gain Master level to do that, and it seems the only way to open up the legendary crafting content is to grind PvE.

That’s not a lot of fun for me and I feel like I’m being forced out of WvW to grind the world bosses or CoF.

It’s great I can get my Hero Points in WvW. That’s awesome. But why didn’t Anet take the extra step of having WvW XP count towards Mastery?

Its not even just the xp to unlock first tier of crafting legendaries. Suppose you get wvw xp count toward mastery and get legendary going. Then what? The whole process of collecting pieces in each tier involves running around the PvE maps, collecting stuff, doing event, killing champs. You must do fractals. You need to grind in new HoT maps for specific currency that drops only in that single map. You will be doing this all for many months so no time for wvw anyway.
