I heard two cool things I didn't try...but if they are true....
1) You can craft from ur bank.
So, u can just send all ur mats to the bank, and use them as if they are in the bag.
2) The bank is account-wide.
So, u can farm/craft with an alter, then use the products on the main.
If this is correct (please, correct me if it isn't), I think the best way to squeeze the crafting is to have an alter only for crafting, and invest the skill points on crafting.
Crafting didn't have any good passive for a main (maybe the "every 2h free mats" one), and those skill points could be used somewhere.
I think the crafting passives are really good for crafting purposes. The extraction ones and the expertises are MUST if u really want to craft.
...so, prepare to level an alt soon
BTW, do you know if there'll be a AH or like that?
I saw the guild shop, but didn't have the opportunity to try it. Its like some kind of shop where u can post items and ur guildmates will be able to buy them?
