I totally agree with Magische. I have 8 characters and bought all three unlimited gathering tools on each character. That’s a ton of gems. I did this under the impression that Anet would not release account bound versions of these. Making the tools account bound make absolutely no difference to me and now just make me mad that I bought something that I would not have if I knew they would do this! I bought 1 Copper-fed-salvage-omatic and deposit it in my bank everytime i switch characters. Buying 8 of those would have just been silly and super expensive. This is exactly would I have done with the tools. Anet, make it right and give people back their gems or at least partial gem refund for these tools. I’m sure there’s many people in my position that bought these tools in good faith not expecting to be screwed over.
