Help what should I spend my gold/gems on?
If you would like to be a Commander one day, I strongly suggest picking up the Commander Compendium now while it’s still only 100g. After Sep 9th, the price will permanently increase to 300g.
Most outfits are here to stay permanently and can be purchased at any time. They might even go on sale now and again.
126 gold will only buy you around 950 gems. That’s only 1 of the returned weapon skins which I do expect to vanish again in a few weeks. So if any strike your fancy you may want to consider buying one now or be frustrated for months.

If you havn’t already. I find bag/bank slot most useful, collection extendable, etc.
It depends if your goal is looking good, convenience, or something silly/fun.
- Convenience, as Laokoko suggested, more space is always helpful: it reduces the time you spend managing inventory and thus allows you more time to play.
- Looking good, as Behellagh suggested, there are some limited-availability skins in the gem shop.
- Fun(ish), as Zaxares offered: getting a commander tag now for 1/3 the cost it will be in a few weeks.
You might also want to wait until next week. The 2nd anniversary is coming up, so I expect items to go on sale, some new stuff to become available, and I also expect people to start selling off their high-end goods (so they, too, can afford to buy some of this stuff).
Is something bad going to happen to you if you do not waste all your gold/gems immediately on stuff you are not even sure you want?
How about save it until you really want something?
+1 for the commander tag – future proof your account.
+1 for convenience items – bag slots, bank slots

If you already did the above (minus the commander tag if you don’t want one) you should spend your money on investments.
Char slots are only 480 gems if you don’t have 8 toons yet. I went and picked up my 12th just b/c cheap.
I would go commander tag + char slots (40% off is quite nice) or any skin you fancy.
If you are not interested in another character slot, I suggest converting to gold right now. I’m not in game, but I assume the exchange rate has gone up due to the promotion.
