reddit is about the content. Content comes first. This is why we don't have user bios, avatars, or much interaction apart from messages you can send. The goal is that you ignore the user, and follow the content.
This goes against everything that makes reddit reddit. If you want a messageboard where people can buy avatars and upvotes, they are a dime a dozen, for nearly any community imaginable.

I disagree that allowing reddit gold members have small avatar next to their name is going against everything that makes reddit. I think you take this too personally, what you don't like doesn't mean others wont. Avatars don't buy you upvotes any more than fun novelty account names do. You still need to write good comment.
