It’s a number in a faraway database. Try to keep things in perspective.
OP – You didn’t factor in convenience…those times you stumble on a rare node just to find out you ran out of picks.
I think ANet found a really nice balance. Yeah it’s expensive but for your money, you get an infinite use top tier gathering item and a cool visual.
For those who don’t want to spend the money, they don’t feel like they HAVE to get the item. Just think of the forum rage if players thought the advantages were so great that they absolutely had to part with a lot of gold or spend cash.
It’s a nice to have without being a must have.
