As the title states I believe using crafting points should give XP.
Reason being:
1. One can argue that crafting doesn't make one a better fighter.... but fighting all the time shouldn't make someone better at crafting either, so why not reward those who'd rather craft than spend their days grinding? Also despite the fact that this server does encourage traveling out, it should also inspire humble craftsman who don't enjoy going out.
2. Crafting items should be tantamount to getting better at crafting... hence RPly it makes sense to grant XP in terms of becoming an excellent craftsman through way of applying your craft, and practicing at it.
3. It wouldn't make grinders gain levels any quicker because they'll grind anyways, as grinding provides more gold, better items, artefacts, and simple excitement from killing things.
4. Hammering at an anvil all day would definitely grant strength for the time a craftsman may need to smack someone over the head to defend their home. Likewise Alchemy could theoretically help intellect. Most crafts I noticed require these attributes in real life. Dexterity is required for good painting, or chiseling.
It just makes sense... like 1 xp per crafting point use.
