As per the thread title, gold in this game as it currently stands feels almost redundant. Its easy to accumulate lots of it and there is very little to spend it on. This is a problem present in lots of more modern games, which was done much better in older games. In my opinion, there should be 1 or 2 really good items sold by vendors, which also cost a huge amount of gold relative to the amount of gold you have. For example, a +2 weapon being sold for 5,000 - 10,000 gold. This gives the player something to spend gold on, makes the currency a lot less seemingly useless and gives the player something to "look forward to."
