There are many points I would like to talk about concerning the update, but I will manage with presenting the top few in order of importance. Read more here:

http://blog.roblox.com/2013/09/price-floor-t-shirts-shirts-and-pants/

1) Economic Disaster
How is anyone going to afford clothes? It does not make sense to me that inflation* will make things better.
A rise of prices would require people need more money to buy things. And if some things jump in price, others may rise or fall as well.
The Hyper Inflation of items would lead to economic disaster. Think about what happened to Germany in 1923. The economy collapsed. It was cheaper to burn money than wood.
A loaf of bread cost 401,000,000,000 German marks.

Economic disaster is huge, and can destroy a country.

2) Group uniforms
Many clans require clothing to be worn. It shows:
• Loyalty
• Order
• Pride
• Smartness
Uniforms mean all these things, and new members will be unable to buy them due to insane prices.
No one will join military groups if it costs 600 tickets to get a uniform set.

3) The gap between rich and poor
In my mind, I only see the richest buying clothing items. Very few of the poorer people will buy clothes for these high prices. Cheap clothes for the new players - GONE! Good quality clothes for slightly richer players - FAR TOO EXPENSIVE! Even those that are really rich may not wish to buy clothes if it means spending a larger portion of their money than it used to be.

Conclusion: We do not need this update. There was little wrong with the prices of shirts and pants for the years ROBLOX has been in existence. We already have high tax and money problems in ROBLOX - Why make it worse?

Please consider this, ROBLOX staff.

*Inflation: The continued rise of prices of goods in an economy.

Sure right! I believe this price is ridiculous because, one this is the thing Roblox is making people leave I understand that more people are playing but...... do you expect people to buy things that over 100+ Tix even the members who don't have BC. So that's my opinion.

Pretty sure profits made from a low price but high demand exceeds those of high price but low demand.

Support. If ROBLOX doesn't want to remove this update, then I'd be grateful if they drop the price floor to, for example, 3 Robux. Or 5 at least. But I know the mods, they NEVER listen to players.

ROBLOX, this really just seems like a scheme to get more people to buy Builders Club. ROBLOX is getting to be more "Pay to Play" than ever.

The very first thing that came to my mind was inflation. Though, it seems to me that money isn't losing its value; prices are just rising. There's a difference. Simply consider this as, let's say, an endangerment of cotton. All these shirts are made of cotton, and since cotton is getting rarer, the prices are going up. If we were to lower the prices, cotton would go extinct. Of course, that isn't the case; though it makes a fairly good argument on a reason to rise the prices. ROBLOX is trying to make clothing rarer because they don't want any of it to be a waste. I still don't agree with the extremity of it; I believe it should be decreased, a lot. That's my opinion.

Speaking of hyperinflation, let us not forget about Zimbabwe.
They went up to the $100 trillion dollar note.

It's terrible. Roblox should lower the minimum to 50 tickets or less.
