To me, it is not about proving your skill in terms of your character's story or self-perceived achievements, but rather how you size up to other players claiming that they are the same, or better.
If a player claims that their character is a better smith than yours, has specialists in each profession, leveled to maximum, with fully melded gear, and all of the achievements, would you not be more inclined to humor that claim than if they were a level 1 crafter?
I would never say that going that extra mile is necessary to RP something, but it certainly does, in my eyes, make the story more believable.
