Okay, I'm just a bit unhappy. And this has to do with the Aquariums. I know there are countless bashing threads out there right now, but I just wanted to say my peace somewhere without people of either side acting superior and telling me their own opinion (yes, I know that there are also some users expressing their sides articulately and in a calm manner).

It seems like we were unintentionally misled, or perhaps misled ourselves. Phrases like 'some' items would be selling for cash had people thinking the official fish store would be selling items for gold and that the premium items would be sold in the cash shop, as they said. Then of course, Phin Phang comes out and I go 'Ooh, she's cool! Oh, look at the items!' Then I saw the prices were for cash, with '0 gold' next to them. Well, that was fine. It was obviously not up and running yet, so of course I thought they just had to finish up the pricing.
Imagine my great dismay and surprise when the store remained cash only. I do have some cash. But as much as I want more fish and some cool decorations, I cannot bring myself to spend my carefully hoarded cash on them. I only use cash on EIs and cash shop purchases. I would never use it on fish that expired. Not even on the beautiful Asian-inspired tank decorations that I would like so very much.

So here's hoping that the Gaia staff do eventually get some gold-priced items into the store. Because I just feel that this situation is ridiculous. I was so excited about this idea, and now I feel let down. It's a new experience for me, because I generally put my faith totally in Gaia.
