Many people "borrow" each others limiteds by trading back and forth. It is very common for people to lose hats this way due to scammers. My suggestion is that ROBLOX implements a borrowing system in which you may request to borrow somebody's limited (kind of like the trade system; it can be turned off if you want). Through this system, you can request to have a hat for 'x' days (up to a month, maybe). When borrowing, however, you must give the owner of the hat something in return, such as robux (or a limited hat). This gives a new dynamic to the game; if I really want to have the darkheart for a week, I could request to borrow it from someone for 5k robux. The person borrowing the limited may not delete/trade/sell the item, and on their profile, the item will show up with an icon that tells people that the item is being borrowed. This would eliminate any confusion. If a user borrowing an item is banned, the item goes back to the original owner (this is an incentive not to get banned).

If the web developers don't want to create an entirely different system, then in the trade window there should be a way to, instead of requesting an item, request to borrow an item. For example, I could trade someone my firebrand for one week of their sparkle time fedora (they would get to keep my firebrand, while I would not get to keep the sparkle time fedora).

What do you guys think? Post your opinions below.

Support, except for the part where both people have to borrow an item from eachother in order for the first person to borrow one item.

It doesn't have to be an item, it could be robux (and you could set it to 0 robux, it just depends on whether the owner is willing to lend their hat for free).

I like the idea of lending for a short period of time in return for money. That would be a really good way to make a lot of money, if you have good hats.

If you borrow limiteds it is your fault, considering the trade system has nothing to do with exchanges of hats for a certain amount of time.

But anyway this would be cool,

@bob

It's true that it's your own fault, but what if somebody tells you that they'll give you a certain hat if you give __ and let them borrow __? This has happened to me before, and I would've accepted the deal had there been a borrow system to prevent scamming.

Thanks for the support guys!

@silver

That's a good idea. I thought it should turn on and off, but I like your idea better if you only want to friends to request to borrow items.
