Gold linking is terrible
Goldlinking is the most broken mechanic in this entire game, and if you say that it's not then you are lying. When you can wear the heaviest armor in the game and move like you aren't wearing anything at all. On top of that hitting your opponent so fast that they can't actually respond with a attack.
This is broken and not only broken but a cheap tactic of winning, which is only supported and encouraged by the toxic YouTube community and players on these forums who want to keep abusing cheap tactics to win.
And no I am not some noob to the game, I have been playing since Day 1 and can without a doubt say the game has gotten worse overtime.
And this mechanic only adds to the toxic behavior that is ruining what started as a fun game to play.

Use manual dodge, punch em in the back of the head.
Gold Linking can simply blocked until you spot a slower a move and use your defensive ability, use a charge move to withstand a hit, side dodge, interrupt with a fast move that has avoid properties.
There are multiple solutions to your problem, which isn't one per se. You'll see as you progress, Absolver reveals itself with epiphanies.
As I said, gold linking works to a certain point, where you become far too predictable in your timing. If you face someone gold linking a very spammy fast deck, chances are all his moves cost him more stamina than what you lose out of blocking. Wait for right opening and punish.
Maybe the issue isnt goldlink but spammers possibly?
Just a hunch from what you explained,
Maybe constructing a new deck would be beneficial?
Im positive you can get around whatever you encounter just like the rest of us, fold well bud.
Ive let a few of my friends play and even after explaining multiple times that this isnt a button masher; they still immediately run their stamina into the dirt furiously tapping buttons like they were playing xenoverse or bayonetta.
I got faith in ya, you got this
The mechanic in itself is fine. But, I too have been recently encountering "gold link" decks of a higher quality.
These players obviously are taking advantage of the fact that we can see the actual advantage frames and are using moves that mix up speed and stamina usage with well crafted transitions to catch slips and charge moves.
I find that players that gold link in that way are much harder to beat and to some, may seem impossible to beat, but with specified moves in your deck to combat them can be manageable.
P.S.
Playing since day 1 doesn't mean anything except maybe that OP is a very slow learner if he still haven't found a way how to deal with people that do fast combos. And yes, I'm one of those "toxic guys"
The ones that are at the top worked on their decks after fighting against all those "meta" users and in the end they won. I am a PC player, and bought the game the day of release and after all the PvP i learned that spammers and sweepers are EASY prey.
Sorry if i offend someone with the "EASY prey" but its true. Fast attacks are all the same so once you know them its a matter of analyze the patterns and done, easy win.
What i am trying to say is that the player is 90% responsable for the good use of the deck. Every posible deck used by a master is a lethal one.
P.S: Don't use decks like Oroboro's Taekwondo deck or any other youtuber because every player saw those videos, the decks are too easy to recognize. Too predictable.
