Professions feel completely useless as a casual player, am I wrong? /u/Nyzan World of Warcraft

I’m a casual player and I just feel like professions are almost completely useless. With all the gathering bots running rampant mats are worth nearly nothing (I can get 10k/h, 15k if I’m lucky). There is also no point in levelling crafting professions, it just takes so long and the market is insanely competitive so prices are low enough on the mid-tier gear that I don’t have to worry about breaking my bank. Only profession I’ve been eyeballing is Engineering for the utility but people are saying it’s incredibly lacklustre in TWW (more like ever since WoD :P).

Am I right or am I just a doomer? Is it worth leveling a profession in TWW as a casual player?
