Remember, the idea of this tech tree proposed by OP is to give the player something to spend their extra gold on. Right now, the gold system is kinda boring. You either spend the money on time for missions - which requires clicking some static buttons multiple times (weee -_-). Or, you spend it on the efforts of a specific zone - which requires clicking some static buttons multiple times (wee -_-).
I'm guessing in this case OP managed to save up an excess amount of gold and found the clicking thing a tid boring. Hell, its boring for me when I save up 500. I open the world map, click a few buttons, and watch a number change by an amount that feels useless.
I would enjoy having some kind of buffs that I can spend the gold on while I wait in lobby that will have a direct effect on the game I am currently playing. It would make spending the gold feel like it has more purpose.
Maybe we need another thread to discuss other shit we can spend gold on that feels more useful, like hats.
