That seems a bit silly, given the DoL stealth abilities and the fact that tradecraft doesn't require you to even leave the area of the levemete if you don't want or need to. Perhaps they'll change that in a subsequent patch.
I think it's more a limitation of the questing system itself, than anything anything else.
Every outpost you to go with a levemate, you have to pick up a quest to 'prove' yourself to him, to show that you can handle his crap. That quest is always a combat-oriented quest... Or atleast, it has been for me - But my crafting professions have fallen far behind, as of late.
Now, as far as myself - I tend to do the same as what others have listed. I'll level the stuff that pertains to my character first.. So Kaln's getting his monkism leveled primarily. Then, I'll go to work on his leatherworking/weaving.. As a character, he would be the type to mend and make his own stuff out of the crap he finds lyin' around in the field. As those get worked on, I'll probably do the three gatherings intermittently... And then I'll move on to doing all the other craftings, for guild functionality. IF someone needs something, I want to be able to help out.
