There's account hijackers everywhere. Comments with links with spaces that go to a website where you enter your account info, scammers, RO-SECURITY tricksters, there's plenty of people triyng to get accounts with lots of Robux.
Account theft can be a threat with this new update.
Let's say you just stole an account wealthy in ROBUX. Then, you set trade that ROBUX for REAL MONEY.
Within an instant, the account hijackers made ACTUAL CASH.
Say support if you: *Think the update should be removed -OR- *Have a way to keep the update but fix this -OR- *Other
Say no support if you: *Have a valid reason to show why this update is harmless |

@Bombista, thank you.
This could cause a harmful cycle.
1) A user legitimately buys OBC. 2) The user falls for a scam and gives away his account info. 3) The scammer turns his saved robux into real money. 4) The scammer buys OBC. Problem with this: ROBLOX is the one that gave the scammer the money to buy OBC, so the scammer basically got free OBC.
Another problem could be:
1) A user buys BC and saves his daily income. 1.5) [Possibly method of sales: Advertisement, Clothing creation, etc.] 2) The user converts it to cash and buys TBC. 2.5) [Possibly method of sales: Advertisement, Clothing creation, etc.] 3) The user converts it to cash and buys OBC. |

| I can most likely blame my country's currency for it anyways, still different countries = different currency like for example, USD is higher than euro i think? |

@Raven, same as it is expensive here where I am, but ROBLOX would be losing money if this update was implemented.
I have confirmed this update David Baszucki spoke about has not been implemented yet, so this thread is to stop it before it starts. |

No support
Unless your stupid enough to get it stolen it is not a threat
It promotes developing therefore its good.
Think of people getting to old for the game, not obsessed by virtual currency. If theres an reward involved. they'll make games, and older people generally make better games. |

| @Pandatoby, there's thousands of kids on the website. They could easily be gullible and vulnerable to scamming. |

Due to fraud problems elsewhere with bank account malware I support
this could be a threat
The lab boys informed me that I should not have mentioned the control group. They also told me not to make these pre-recorded messages. That gave me an idea: Make more pre-recorded messages. I pay the bills here I can talk about the control group all damn day! |

Roblox have given guidelines.
To be honest, if your that gullible
you deserve a lesson.
Furthermore you need all details to get the paypal. Like registered credit card, which is hard to get hold of as a account thief. |

"To be honest, if your that gullible

This is a bias reason why you think this idea is bad. The user would be able to make roblox pay him for the account hijacking, and in return the user would have money in the real world to buy himself something nice.
"Furthermore you need all details to get the paypal. Like registered credit card, which is hard to get hold of as a account thief."
The accounts people can hijack easy are the gullible ones, the young ones. I doubt they would have Paypals. That being said, the hijacker would most likely do the part where he sets up the Paypal account. |

We don't actually know how the update will work, only its basis. Who knows? It might not have anything to do with trading robux directly from any source. We simply don't know.
We should have more information before we jump to conclusions. |

@Frozen, alright, before I jump to any more conclusions, I should wait for it to be implemented.
For all I know the admins covered what I already spoke about here on the forums, I guess we'll find out! |

| Considering how most of you don't know what you're talking about, I'm assuming most of you didn't read the article. |

If Roblox goes ahead with this update, they WILL be sued, and they will most likely not make it to 2014. BURN the update!
