How about a way to slowly reduce prep-costs over time? For instance they could be reduced by 1 gold per medal you have collected. That way the medals will give a permanent reward, and the prep-costs become less annoying.
I love this game, and I have played it a lot, but I have to agree with the original poster - right now the prep-costs are bad design. I spend about 300 gold each run, and make about 1000 when I grind the flaming dungeon. That means every third or fourth game has to be a grind, which I find boring (at least now that I only have the vicious dungeons left).
