Thank you all for replying.
As I see ppl here have mixed feelings about it, it puts me in a dilemma. Initially I just wanted to quest and experience the world without any grind whatsoever, but as I was playing I felt that maybe by taking on crafting I will be heightening my experience even further.
As I started crafting, I noticed I was quite limited with recipes, I checked the AH and nothing was on sale, I looked at finished products (weapons, armor and such) for my level and nothing. I looked for crafting mats and found very little, and those were very expensive for me, so not new player friendly prices.
All that got me to the situation at hand. If I want crafting mats I have to farm them myself. ok. But I also need to purchase recipes from the lotro store, since I can't depend not on AH nor world drops. So we are talking about sinking a lot of effort and time, plus real money (not farming lotro points so those LP is money to me). Now, if it is like some of you say, that I can just use quest rewards and drops and have no trouble to do content at level, then maybe I should not bother at all?
I should say that I purchased the xp disabler so the content will remain relevant. I out leveled it so fast with all the festival and crafting that questing was mind numbing. It is much more exciting now
