We know nothing about mastery of gathering or crafting as well. It could very well turn out casuals are blocked from those too. I don't think this will be as big of a deal as people think, after all, every high end resource will also require a certain anount of lower tier resources to craft or process higher tier items. Every level of artisan will have value, and it won't be like WoW where you are next to useless unless you absolutely max out your professions.
Using me for content. This breaks my heart.
