So i just reached expert weaponsmith and outfitter on my level 28 alt. After looking in the tradeskill tree and going to the shop to buy some schematics I ve been surprised to find that i need to be level 50 to buy them.
 So i pretty much leveled them for nothing?
 Why there isn't any place where it's specified that you can't craft level 50 schematics anywhere. 
 What's the point in even making an alt if this stupid system is in place. I doubt gathering skills need to be a certain level to cut trees or mine something so why crafting alts need to be high level to do something.

			I levelled tailoring to expert on my level 24 esper.   I distinctly remember looking in the crafting window and seeing skills say "requires expert crafting and level 50".

There are two Expert levels, Expert and Expert Research.  The latter one has the schematics with the level 50 requirement.  Even if you could buy them earlier, they require a BoP material that can only be acquired via a level 50 daily crafting mission.
 
I suspect the idea behind the gating is if you want a stable of end-game crafting alts you need to level them to end game.  I'm somewhat ambivalent about this.  If character levelling wasn't such a chore I'd be more in favor of it.
 
In theory gatherers had to be able to survive the zones they wanted to harvest in except resource gathering circles pretty much bypass that.  Considering the state of raw materials on the CX, this is not a bad thing.

Haven't played WoW in years, but in the old days of WoW you had to actually get to a certain level before you could do the apprentice/journeyman/artisan/expert crafts.  This game is more alt-friendly in that you can craft up to expert (not expert research) and make some valuable stuff even at level 10.
 
Also keep in mind that if you have two crafting skills on the same character, you still only get one eldan data fragment a day (you can't get a 2nd daily for a 2nd data fragment).
