Dear Roblox staff,

I am a group owner who just recently (July 25th) started a colonial group called The Grand Ottoman Empire. This group, in a matter of almost exactly two months, has become wildly successful, already reaching 232 members.

I made my own uniforms (it took hours because I'm not particularly good at Photoshop), which turned out to be very good, according to the buyers. I have a uniform for every level of command in my group. Even though I went through a PAINSTAKING amount of effort to create these uniforms, I sell them for the minimum price of 5 tickets, because I don't want to profit off of them. All I want out of them is to allow my group members to identify each other and to create a group aspect, AS WELL as to maintain historical accuracy (Ottomans didn't run around in Volcom t-shirts).

Although you have some valid reasons for this update, the cons HEAVILY outweigh the pros. As a direct result of this update, I can promise you, Roblox's staff, that the group aspect of Roblox will crumble instantaneously (at least the niche communities that REQUIRE uniforms. I.e., colonial, future, medieval, and pretty much any military groups). There are many paying players, like myself, who play this game SOLELY for the groups. I can confidently say that I would not play Roblox were it not for the ability to create groups that have the ability to grow and customize.

Also, by making it so players NEED to buy robux in order to afford anything, you will certainly not be increasing your paying player count. I can tell you that I, and many like me, will stop paying for Roblox and quit altogether if this update is not fixed. This is because my group, the only reason I and many others play, would fall apart without easy access to uniforms. I would hate to leave a game that I have put so much time and effort into just because the creators wish to capitalize on more of their players. Not only is that unethical; it's very frustrating.

I can tell you that if I didn't have the ability to join a group and buy a uniform as a free player, I would not have continued playing and fallen in love with the group aspect of the game, which caused me to buy BC in the first place. I have played for about 5 years now (I joined in 2008), and like I said, I would hate to have to leave over such a ridiculous update.

I wish to leave you with one firm paragraph about why you shouldn't carry through with this update, so here it is:

I can wholeheartedly tell you that this game will shrivel up and die without a healthy free-player base. There is enough incentive AS IS (cool badges, recognition, group ownership, map creation, clothing creation, advertisement creation, and, of course, ROBUX) to pay for the game. The free players simply fill the servers and the groups in order to make the game fun for the rest of us. Causing them to leave (the majority will CERTAINLY leave rather than pay) will cause the game to die out. Of course, on paper, the idea to raise the cost of playing will be effective in increasing profits, but believe you me, it will mean the death of the game.

Sincerely yours,

-A concerned group owner.

I made a post about this earlier. OP happens to be one of my greatest allies. If there is ANY solution to this mess, at LEAST clans should be exempted from the uniform price hike before the entire group system shuts down.

Thank you very much, Sugar. I appreciate it. But I'm pretty sure that in a week AT MOST, all uniformed groups will be dead entirely.

Ro-Racing was greatly effected by this. We have race suits that need to get to drivers, and, for 300 Tix, they say OH HEIL NAW. I decided to take down my best selling clothes, because, I don't want to con people out of their money. I'm happy getting 7 tix. I'm not happy being forced to take 300.

Again, thanks for the support. I hope Roblox realizes that not everyone on here is greedy. Some of us just want a cohesive group.

Bump. Now that the forums aren't being spammed, I think this can get some attention.

Yes. I'm not in any clans, but this is just ridiculus. Group members would have to wait a whole month just to get a shirt, and then ANOTHER month to get the pants! This well just drive NBC, BC, TBC, and OBC members all away. I really hope roblox removes this.
