For me personally? Very important. However, that's because I like to RP the content. If you want Lilia to craft an item for you, she'll do it IC and she'll be very happy to, and you'll see that many of her items are of very high quality, but there's still much that she has to learn. Because I RP a few of my character classes like this, if other people are playing their classes I'd expect them to be able to put their money where their mouth is also. Level 50 is a good baseline for crafting in my opinion. The lingo I use in my RP circle is "guild certified" to refer to people who are level 50 in a craft.Â
I'd also see this being important for people who want to do IC dungeons. Some of the people in my RP circle like to do some of the content IC and in those situations it's important for people's actual character level to be on par with whatever they're claiming is their actual level of skill.
That having been said, if we're RPing in a world where there's a 1:1 correspondence between skill level IC and OOC, then Lilia is a much more skilled character than I play her as being. IC she knows enough ACN to have served in the Flames but not much past that. A world where IC classes are the same as OOC makes for a very low skill ceiling in the lore universe.
