Guild Wars 2

Thanks!
I’ll go without it for my first character and see how much the high tier end game stuff even interests me.

Hello! Brand new to Guildwars 2.
One of my least favourite parts of MMOs is crafting/professions. Running around gathering materials to make items always feels like more work than fun for me. But I get that in some MMO’s, crafting is pretty necessary for progression. I’m always trying to figure out that balance between fun factor and reward.

Are the rewards for crafting worth it for somebody who may not enjoy that aspect of a game? Is it even an option to not craft and still perform well in end game?

Thanks!
