I sent in a bug report in game for this already but discovered these forums so I’m hoping that maybe this will be easier to find. I went to the guild promoter to buy the 1,000 influence for 2g and bought several of them. The first few went through just fine but the last one I bought should have put me over the 10,000 threshold to purchase the next upgrade but it never did. I had to borrow the gold from someone to re-buy it so I could get started on the extremely lengthy process of building the research upgrade. The guild name is The Original Ret [TOR] I don’t know if that helps but.. there you go.
