Did a recent change make Merchants sell level-specific harvesting tools?

Q:
So, working on our map completion a guildie and I started to clear ‘Hirathi Hinterlands’ (Aurora Glade). I’m lvl 66 and she’s lvl 58. (this is important)
So, I run out of harvesting tools (as usual) and head over the the merchant who is offering me either Mithril or Orichalcum harvesting tools. This seems strange to me as the highest tier mats i’m aware of in the area are gold, so steel tools I thought were appropriate.
Guildie visits the same vendor and gets offered either Darksteel or Mithril gathering tools. Seemingly the only difference is our respective character levels. Map chat seemed to offer a consistant set of results, players were offered gathering tools appropriate to their level, rather than appropriate to the area. (One player did travel back to LA to check the vendor there, and noted they could buy the full range of tiers of harvesting tools – but probably spent more mapping to and fro than the difference in gathering tools)
Is this a bug? Or an unannounced and insidious attempt to take money out of my pocket?

It seems that perhaps there is only a couple of bugged merchants (KooFoo and Grey Gritta’s) as I’ve just tried a third merchant (Wynchona) who is offerring me steel / Darksteel
