In almost every mmo i have played i have always been the gathering classes. I have always liked that relationship of trading supplies to crafters and getting nearly free gear. I set off today in search of getting to 15 so i can pickup that new mining laser for 78 Silver, only to find out NONE of the wikis are updated and it actually costs 4000 crafting vouchers. I have no crafting class nor do I want to be a crafter which leaves me no way to get vouchers to gather better. Alright fine, I ask the nice fellows of wildstar if anyone would get me one for free supplies whenever they need it. NOPE! The upgrade gathering tools are all "Bind on Pickup". Is this going to get fixed because this is honestly absurd?
 
Edit: Was trying to think of a way to make it worth upgrading while no using vouchers, here is what I thought.
 
*How they work*
lets say each tier takes double the time with the novice pick. So iron takes 2.5 seconds, titanium takes 5 seconds, platinum takes 10 seconds... etc. But Using the appropiate pickaxe makes the time 2.5 seconds. So, iron and novice, titanium and apprentice, platinum and journeyman. But using upgraded pickaxes also lowers the time for lower tiers so iron is 2 seconds with apprentice and 1.5 with journeyman. 
 
*Costs*
I thought of 2 different ways to buy them. Either introduce a gathering voucher and gathering dalies(ex. X platinum for 100 vouchers) or make them cost gold.. a lot of gold. Apprentice would cost 1-5g, journeyman would cost 20-50, make them rise in price as the tiers increase. I feel like with the decrease in mining times would be worth the substantial gold.

This needs to be addressed...
I also enjoy gathering and having friends or guildmates craft things for me.
Please make tools purchasable without the need to be a crafter.
