Gathering tools is a huge bottleneck, and needs fixing

There are plenty of fixes for this:
Allow novice tools to gather tier 2 mats, apprentice tools gather tier 3 mats, etc (crude still only gathers tier 1)
Or
Allow craft buildings to make gathering tools one tier higher. IE, Apprentice tools can be made at the craft villages near the starter town. Once the apprentice craft buildings are made, they allow access to journeyman tools.
Right now crafters are sitting at 20, but unable to make anything Tier 3. I have a bunch of L20 equipment recipes that no one want to buy. We're just stalled out getting through the buildings
Having earlier access to higher level gathering will also smooth out the higher tier mats blocking the spawn of lower level mats.

But there are tons of L20's, and no crafted gear for them. If some changes are not made to the gatekeeping of crafting, crafted gear is going to lag player leveling all the way to 50. That doesn't sound good. And it's going to get worse as we go up the tiers and available craft slots per character go down.
I think people are tailoring 20+, but without journeyman tailoring building spindlehemp gear (Tier 3) can't be made. But worse, the materials for it can't be gathered. So there's going to be some lag once the spindlehemp and other tier 3's can be gathered before gear gets out there.
Gathering tools are easy to make, assuming a node has built a building to make them. It's the long time it takes to make the building that is holding everything up
