So Torias I think you are wrong, it is possible to hit the level cap without cheating / deliberately exploiting design oversights.
No, you didn't hit level 25, and even if you gave them all your crafting and gold, you wouldn't have hit level 25.
You only hit level 25 if you spent your gold on crafting components and then give them those crafting components. That requires extra steps (transferring all your gold into stacks of elf root to fill your inventory, travelling to camp, handing that in, going back and buying more elf root, repeat for a long time).
So for the moment, leaving aside user made mods and only looking at the official content provided by bioware, it's impossible to hit the level cap without cheating / deliberately exploiting design oversights
