Would it be bad if gold items gave a 25% discount to Sight stone?
That extra 200 gold be nice to have for red wards. Being that Supports suffer from gold income I think it be a nice thing to do no?

So you want items that only supports get to give a discount to an item that only supports (usually) get?
As a support main I support this support discount for support items...
I would love this. It's a little bit of an icky solution solely for clarity reasons but I'll take all Supp buffs.
All support items are already cheaper than average items to compensate.
It would be a bit of a noob trap since it would encourage people to rush sightstone more often which is usually the wrong decision.
Better idea: make it so that sightstone gives a free pink ward that refreshes upon returning to base, in addition to the 3 free regular wards it gives. Then they can focus their income on items instead of having to spend an extra 1k per game on vision.
This means supports hit the 2 item spike of Redemption and Locket faster though so I'm not sure it's a 100% good idea.
Maybe fix the support itemisation first then do it.
Not sure if an earlier sight stone purchase is your main goal, though realistically, just the sight stone, isn't particularly effective.
25% of a sight stone is a 200 gp value. That value means you could build any of the eye items that much sooner. (not sure if that undercuts the value of Ruby sight stone, but would make them the easiest 3rd tier items to purchase)
You could simply reduce the final cost of the eye items by 200 (And Ruby as well) to have a similar effect.
I also thougth about this. I read somewhere, the reason for sightstone-costs still beeing 800g is that the botlane can't be warded all the time in the early-game. This might be solved if this passive would require a certain lvl or tier2 of the goldgen item
