This week is my first time back in game since 2011ish. After logging in I noticed I have tons of crafting materials and they all say ctrl + right click to convert your components into cores. Is there any downside to this?
My character is level 27 and has 300 Mysticism, after reading some in game text from a vendor it seems this isn't even possible to do anymore. Is my character okay? Do I need to convert her crafting skill like the components?

DO NOT convert your old crafting mats. They ALL convert to level 1s, and not even at a 1:1 ratio. Pure crap to do that. Your best thing to do is take them to a vendor (good ol Karneeki is close by) and sell them off.
Depending on your playstyle, just do any of the events, alerts, higher content, nemesis stuff, etc and you will accumulate mods of rank 4 and 5. Plus you should get some semi-decent gear drops. In my opinion, blue rank 40 basic gear drops are still worthwhile pieces of gear.
And, above all else (then why is it at the bottom?), ASK IN ZONE CHAT if you have any questions about the game. Lots of players will help you. Of course, that also depends on your time zone that you play. US times are pretty good with player quantity.

This is extremely disappointing.

Having Mysticism rank 300 is still valuable because you're got a better chance of successfully fusing mods which is good for equipping your heroes or fetching you a tidy sum in the Auction House. The market goes up and down, but in-demand rank 6 - 9 mods can sell for 30G to 500G. Rank 9 mods are extremely rare and attempting to fuse five rank 8 mods unless you're max profession rank and you're using a safeguard catalyst is just throwing away money. Moreover, if you, with 300 Mysticism, were fusing Science typed Armoring, Enhancement, Vehicle,or Core mods, you might have only a 17% chance to fuse five rank 5 mods into a single rank 6. Which means that you'll probably fail and lose a rank 5 mod. However, if you were fusing five Mysticism typed rank 5 mods, you might have a 70% chance to make one rank 6. The top profession rank is 400, so you'll have to visit the trainer to buy the last rank unlock and then start fusing rank 4-6 modes to get up there.
Yes, i'm in the same boat. I just came back last week or so after having been gone 3200 days. One of my backpacks is literally full of stacks of mats. I don't even remember how I got them or how the old system worked. I have 285 science, so I must have did some working on it at one point, but now I have no clue what to do, and the game is not explaining what to do either. I think i'm just fubar.
TL:DR is you fuse 5 of a mod to make 1 of the next rank. There's always risk of it failing though.
Example: I take five of a Strength Enhancement Rank 3 and fuse them to make one Strength Enhancement Rank 4.
Keep one of each as souvenirs. They have vastly more interesting flavor text than the modern junk.
Also, Bloodmoon event comes in October, and it drops scads of Mysticism mods you con use to make the jump to skill 400. (I got my main up in less than a week, but I also had five other characters feeding her their drops.)
