In general I think the very initial release did a better job of making all stats relevant with emphasis on things like trade skills ect. From there expensions were just focused on adding mobs and loot mostly for raiding opportunities a never really added diversity to the game other than different landscapes.

IIRC a dev said they really botched tradeskill implementation claiming they did them because they felt like they had to. Tailoring is notoriously garbage and slightly improved in velious but seeing there's nothing between 158 and 262 unless you're a particular race is a complete joke. Add the fact that if you're not like, a cleric/druid/mage/wizard, maxing your int/wis is somewhat of a bitch, if you're a hybrid/melee forget it.
Not sure for classic era but outside banded, blacksmith seems mostly useless unless you want to do spirit of grazicor... which is still more useful than baking/brewing/pottery.
The only ones I feel they somewhat nailed is jewelcrafting and research and research isn't super fun since if you fail or don't find the mats it might gimp you.
