This is a list I thought up.
1.You guys whine worse then a 5 year old who got sock for christmas 2.You guys can't think straight enough to form proper arguements. 3.You guys fighting amuses me.
Long story short watching children try to comprehend this update or even understand buisness is so funny. Please continue fighting for my enjoyment while I drink my tea and laugh at no one knowing what is going on.

Ok. Here you go Tela:
>*WARNING: This post is rather long. If you don't have the attention span, patience, or time to read it, then don't. But, I highly suggest you do.<*
Quoted from the ROBLOX Blog, on the article that tells about the price flooring:
*Incentivizing ROBUX purchase The rapid growth of ROBLOX has been supported by the players who make purchases. We philosophically believe that ROBLOX should be free forever. We currently provide enormous value to free users, and we understand that this is one of the attractions of ROBLOX. However, we want to bring our virtual economy system more inline with regard to the industry standard freemium business model. At the same time, we are not compromising on our core vision, which is making ROBLOX the best free online building game on the internet.* Basically, what this part is saying is that since ROBLOX decided that people who didn't buy ROBUX were having too much fun being able to buy a myriad of cheap (and sometimes, rather good) clothing, they decided it would be a "good idea" to raise the minimal price so that people who didn't have a lot of money (such as people without Builder's Club, or people who buy a lot of already expensive items) are FORCED to give them REAL money just to buy a blob of pixels! Are you serious? Have the ROBLOX employees really gotten this desperate to get money while taking it from their players? And seriously, how exactly is this going to "raise the quality of items", precisely? People are still going to copy items regardless of the price (this is ROBLOX, after all), and besides, I got ALL of my clothes for cheap prices, and I think they are very good quality, for the most part. As for "rewarding sellers", you DO realize that a lot of people were making their items cheaper toattract a larger audience, right??? OK, I will give you an example. There is a grocery store. And this grocery store, ok, it has two kinds of bread, one sells for $1.29 and the other for $2.19. There are three people in this grocery store. One has $2.50, and the other two both have $1.50. The two people with $1.50 will buy the bread that is $1.29, and the other person will get the $2.19 bread. 2x1.29 = 2.58, which is more than 2.19. So, in essence, the company that made the cheaper bread got more of a profit than the one that sold the more expensive one. The same thing is definitely true on ROBLOX. People sell cheap to attract not only the rich people, but the people who have less money to spend on things. The more people that you can get to buy your stuff, the more likely it is that you will offset the decreased price and end up with a profit. I know many people that do this on ROBLOX, and with this update, they will NOT be able to do that!!! I know for a fact that there are many, MANY people on this site that would be glad to pay the minimums to get the clothes... if they could afford it. I, for example, have been on ROBLOX for THREE YEARS now. I have liked it fairly well. I like the gameplay updates that have been done over time (except for the removal of custom audio and 3D models, but that's a WHOLE nother story altogether). I have gotten ALL my clothes for less than 25 ROBUX. There was only one item that I have EVER bought that was over 30 ROBUX, and it was some gear that I don't think I've ever used, or hardly have used. What I am saying is, appealing to this low-end audience is, in my opinion, integral in getting a large amount of sales in order to make a good profit. If you can't do that, then you will DEFINITELY lose money in the long haul. But, once again, it is my opinion that ROBLOX is doing this so that they can make more money. They are taking out their financial needs on the players in a way that is, once again in my opinion, rather unnecessary. Can't they do something else to get money? Fundraisers? Sweepstakes? Something that doesn't DIRECTLY affect the site itself? And not only that, but in an area where the players travel frequently every day? This is probably the worst thing that has happened to the site financially since the admins decided to hide away the regular Builders Club button to make you have to buy either TBC or OBC. I mean, it was still there, but a lot of people did not know where it was, and this lead to them either spending more money then they should've, which hurt the community player-side, or didn't pay at all, which hurt it provider-side. This is why I believe this update must be fought against while it is new, before it becomes ABSOLUTELY permanent. There are quite a few ways to do this. I personally like something that AbsoluteLOL suggested on another thread. He said that we should all go "naked" by not buying any clothing and or gears, and DEFINITELY not buying ROBUX or BC, since this is what ROBLOX wants us to do. And in doing so, stalling the ROBLOX economy. After a while, ROBLOX will notice the loss of money it is getting, and repeal the update. Of course, there are also various petitions floating around the forums and such. You could sign those and pray that there is a positive outcome, but I don't know about that. That is all I have to say about this right now. If I can manage to think of something else, I will add it to this later. Sincerely, JMan42064, RAT Soldier (Hail Frostaria! :P) |

You are 17, and yet you mistake 'Combat" for "Kombat" That is, huh, how to describe that.... Especially when it is relating to someone who knows the Mortal Kombat name.... |

@Heroz,
I can understand why it is you support Price Floors. However being the rebel is by far the most idiotic form of a personality. |

Shout out to Fears for obviously not knowing what is going on and not reading anything.
You are going places. Not college, but places. |
