Alright listen, I know you're all so upset about Pay to Play and how Roblox is ripping you off but think about it. BC games are an absolute failure, no good games come out of it. The only people who use it are Free modeling OD'ers. Yet NBC'ers cried saying how they where getting ripped off by the big evil corrupt communist Roblox Mods. Now lets talk about Pay to Play, Pay to Play is an interesting new idea where people can pay roblox users to play their game. This means that if you work on a game for a very long period of time (For example a year) You can pretty much sell your game as if it was on Steam, but instead of getting real life money you get Robux. Ever since this was introduced NBC'ers have been crying all over this forum, at first I too was annoyed at this because of a new way to scam. But it's been found out that if a large number of people down vote the game you are given a refund. Now lets get onto the NBC'ers point in the argument. They think Pay to Play voids the "Roblox, it's free!" Policy when truly it does not. Roblox did not ask you to pay up 20$ to play Apoc Rising or Call of Robloxia did they? And those are some of the most critically acclaimed games on Roblox. Did Roblox force you to pay money for you to make your own game? No. You constantly cry saying how NBC'ers won't be able to afford this yet if you all got off your lazy butts and made a decent looking game you would be fine. For example I created my Spider Man Arena game in about the span of an hour, I gave credit for a map I did not use and simply edited some gear in the catalog. It's over 30k place visits now and I have never even advertised it. You constantly cry over the fact that you are getting ripped off when in retrospect you're simply being lazy and greedy. Roblox is growing and when it grows it needs more Moderators, those Moderators require this green paper called money for them to stay. People are constantly complaining about the lack of Mods banning people, but honestly if you want more mods then you better get ready to start forking over the money, Mods don't grow on trees.
For people who like to TL;DR
Pretty much what I'm saying is that you all should stop crying over Pay to Play, It's not an enemy it's a way for them to pay for more services, services like more Modification which everyone has been crying about. I would also like people who scream how their rights as playing for free is being stripped from them when it's not, as no one forced you to pay to build a place and to pay for you to place Call of Robloxia, Live a life, or Apoc Rising as those are all FREE games.
And for people who even TL;DRed that. I'm pretty much saying for NBC'ers to get off their lazy behind, hand over the 50c it will cost to pay for the game you want so badly or to start supporting this site |

Why are you talking about NBC'ers as a whole? Not everyone cries.
The idea of Pay to Play is an interesting concept for a website's main selling point is that's it's free, which it still will be, as you are paying with value that you can get by simply logging on. What I hear about the Pay to Play feature the most is that, you can pay to join a game, and the game could be bad, and not a scam. When you pay for a game, it's a major investment to most NBC'ers. The game could have everything it's advertised for, but could be just bad. There has been no talk over that, and that is what some people are worried over. |

| You're OBC, you don't even have to do anything to be able to go in p2p places. NBC on the other hand, it's literally impossible to get games on the front page because most places never get the front page like they deserve. |

My game never got on the front page, I did absolutly nothing but retexture a couple gear and find a map yet it has 30k place visits Never have I advertised. Me being OBC simply shows I payed to support this website, as it was a website I've played since 2008 (On an alternate account) and in 2011 I decided I wanted to give me full support for it as it grew bigger. Also, when you go out to buy a 60$ game you should do your research first ,read the comments not just rush into the deal 50 robux is 50c in real life, less than the amount of money you pay for an Itunes app. |

I said "To all the NBC'ers Crying" That pretty much means any NBC'ers who are cry about pay to play to read this. It doesn't target all NBC'ers and I'm sorry if some people took it that way. |

Toxic once this feature gets released, remove your OBC, then we will see who is complaining. If this is going to get released on the website, you really think people are going to charge between lets say 20-60 robux? BC users are going to charge probably over a 100 robux. It will take months for NBC to get that money, NBC only gets 10 tix a day and that's only if they sign in. They can't get their places on the front page because they don't have the money to advertise, and lets say they bid 200 tix, how many clicks will they get? 2 to 5 clicks? You have nothing to complain about because you make 60 robux everyday and it doesn't even matter if you sign in or not you'll still get it. Stop being so selfish and think of others. ROBLOX has more then ENOUGH. If they really wanted money so bad they would have removed the Personal servers and Mega servers since it costs a lot more then normal servers. BC has ENOUGH, and all ROBLOX is doing is stealing from you, but no your to blind to see it. NBC should complain, first it was the BC games and now there is going to be a limit of games to play. ROBLOX gets mad at us when we make anti guests scripts and such but with this update it will completely get rid of guests.
People are going to charge so they can also keep the guests out, which makes it completely unfair to NBC. You're just another typical OBCer, nothing but a selfish pr1c by the way not everyone can afford a Apple device, not everyone's parents use their credit card online, and most users can't get a job. Stop letting your mwommy and dwaddy buy your things so you can know how it feels not to have money! |

I'm sorry if you don't want to support the people who allow you to play this site,or if you don't want to support the people who spend almost a year making games. You act as if I'm so greedy when really you're the greedy one, not only do you not care about the people who put a lot of time into this website and this game you also don't have the common sense to understand that some people like my self actually want this Website to continue being on. I've spent my OWN money, not my Dads and not my Aunts money, but my own which I earn from Babysitting . I see roblox as a place for people to come to and where they can be creative. Now I would like to tell you a story. I have a place with 30k place visits and guess what, I've never even sent out an Ad before in my life. Never. It simply takes an idea more original than "Tycoon! or Jump 10000000000000 studs to win" Type of ideas. I don't understand why you can't just support this website or pay 10$ for it. People pay 30$ for MC, people pay 60$ for Xbox and PS3 games. You act as if Roblox is no longer free when it is. This isn't some Pay to Win type of game, this isn't a Pay to Play society, only some games are Pay to Play and just like BC only a few of these games will even be worth playing. Roblox isn't forcing you to hand over 10$, they are asking you. When you go onto Roblox you can play Apoc rising for Free, you can join a group for free, you can buy clothing and create a GAME, let me repeat. CREATE A GAME! for free. You can use their game engine, FOR FREE. Roblox is still a free game, if you can't understand that then you sir are the BLIND one. |

@toxicspikez
While I agree with you that the majority of NBC players are complaining about this new feature, creating a thread about it in S&I is next to useless.
Suggestions and ideas are defined (on here anyway) as anything that can be implemented in game.
Nice to know not everyone's against the idea, though.
Cheers,

The people who want to side with the site, are either two types of people.
These two types would be;
1) People who get ripped off in real life, (Not given exact change, etc) and realize it, and do nothing about it. You may think to yourself that it is going for a good cause. Or think that it was 50 cents and it doesn't matter. But, if you get ripped off every time, that can seriously amount to a lot of money you don't have, which you should.
2)People who get ripped off in real life, and don't even know about it.
The concept in this is discrimination. At first, it was games for only types of people. This would be like saying, that "Oh this store is only for this race. Not your race. Goodbye! Shoo!" No, that is discrimination.
Then ROBLOX realizes that not enough money was made for them through BC games only. So they decide to have paid games. This would be like going to your favorite store, buying things from it all the time, then one time you come, they say "Sorry, you need to pay $50 to get in. Once you pay this fee, you can always come in anytime." So, what will happen is you might pay the fee, and get ripped of, and not care, or think it is the best decision in the world.
However, it's a pathetic way to earn money, when the site is advertised as "Free."
Also, responding to this and saying "Oh, CoR5, Apocalypse Rising, etc, are all free", it's not the price we are concerned about. NBC'ers give up more rights every day.
They give up money rights. Place rights. Selling rights. Trading rights. Server rights. Again, it's not the price we are concerning about, it's the concept of actually using real money to play a free game, when we keep losing rights.
I did have TBC years ago. Do I get anything from it? No. Do I care? No. I don't sell anything anymore. I deal with my 1 place, and I can care less. I have alt's for other places I build. So it's whatever. It's easy for people with BC, TBC, and OBC to support the site, because they get money everyday from doing nothing, but selling, or trading. They come to ROBLOX to trade hats, create a new account, and not to build. |
