Sure, sure. This is Roblox, not REAL life.

But, Roblox is consitantly trying to get REAL life money, and I understand that. They need money.


But, this is absurd.


NBC: One tshirt or one pair of pants or one shirt per MONTH. That adds up to 6 outfits a year if you log onto roblox every day for an entire year, because it takes 2 months to get a full outfit.


BC: One outfit every 4 days. Really, Roblox?

TBC: A single shirt in a day is affordable.

OBC (this is really "outrageous" so to speak): Every twenty four hours an OBCer, who spent hundreds of bucks on Roblox, can only afford one individual outfit for the entire day

If an OBCer can afford many times LESS virtual items than what NBCers used to be able to do, then what's the point in buying ANYTHING from roblox?

I was actualy about to consider buying OBC. In fact I was going to save some of my paychecks for a while and eventually get lifetime, but why bother now? Money is what roblox wanted, but I don't want to give them my money anymore.

Roblox, this next sentence is words you should keep in mind:

If you want the users to give you what you want (money) then you need to give the users what the users want.

I'd prefer that it's at least lowered.

@Kaelan01, agreed.


I think I figured out why roblox is doing something that even makes OBCs hardly afford any shirts.

They won't settle for users buying lifetime OBC.

They want them to buy lifetime OBC and thousands of robux.

It's gonna take 60 days for an NBC'er to buy a single uniform.

@Magnaan, before the stupid "Minimum 5 Tix" price it'd take 1 day to by 5 to 10 uniforms.

Even after the minimum 5 tix implementation, NBCers can get an outfit a day.


Now, EVEN LIFETIME OBCERS only get one outfit a day!

Here's what I think about nobledragon's thread.

"Raise the quality of items in the catalog."

Vendettathegreat has been selling outstanding quality clothes since 08. He's always sold them at the minimum profitable price, 2 tix.

"Reward makers and sellers of clothing."
There's this little thing called 'donations'

"To incentivize non-paying users to buy ROBUX."

You just made OBCers only afford an outfit every 24 hours, so now you say that they need to buy robux too?

Exactly.
Until they delete this I refuse to buy a Roblox card.

I have no reason to buy OBC (which I was actually GOING to while Roblox was making it so they didn't appear like greedy moneybags) if OBCers can't even afford clothes.



If roblox wants the users to give them what they want they need to give the users what the users want. I'm going to be saying this a lot.

One of the first things that made me part of this community was buying shirts.
I found out that ALL ROBLOX CARES ABOUT IS NOT THE PLAYERS, ITS THE MONEY!

Yeah! Roblox has roughly 50-60 MILLION players! Do you have any idea how many people are already buying BC and Robux then? I see more BCers than NBCers!

Here I am, with my 181 tix, feeling rich. Now I can't even afford a t-shirt.

Dear everyone who hates the update,

I came up with a unique idea on how to protest:
- Take all of your gear, hats, shirts, pants, faces, etc. off of your ROBLOX character. After all, you can't afford anything else now!
- Do not buy any virtual items of any kind.
- Spread the word

It may seem weird, but if we go "naked", and literally stall the Virtual Economy by not buying items, we could make a pretty big dent. This is just an idea; you don't have to do it.

Sincerely, NealSavage


FIGHT!!! FOR!! YOUR!!

Agreed with NealSavage.


Roblox, what this is inflation. Not just inflation, but FORCED inflation.
