Yep. Can’t understand" the design goal behind traiting and ascending a resource at all!.
All that’s needed now for the devs to add raw Glory, Gems, Gold, Diamonds, all Keys, Traitstones, Ingots to troops so we can destroy them via ascension.
Unfortunately, there are no plans to add those keys and resources as Troops p.s we’re getting a bit off topic of the bug reports and heading into suggestion territory.
The team added Treasures as Troops as they knew players would like to use them on teams.
@jzg This is correct, this is fixed in 4.1 and is on Known Issues list. Thank you Jzg!
