"There are people who make quality stuff, and if they do so, they can MANUALLY raise the price and, if people just want people to wear something but not earn profit, they can price it 1 tix. There are 1 cent items on Amazon and Ebay, why not make 1 tix items on ROBLOX?"

This was well said. REAL money is less than ROBLOX's VIRTUAL money, now! This is ABSOLUTELY ridiculous. Though the ROBLOX employees listened to it's players(ever so slightly, and it took them two weeks...), the price floors should be reduced because ROBLOX players are not being able to buy their clothing normally. Clothing makers are instead of being rewarded with higher cash flow, are being DEPRIVED of the normal funds they'd get from their prices on their clothing because what THEY want it to be. ROBLOX is acting like the entire thing is some sort of Monopoly, and it isn't. This is just another way of ROBLOX trying to manipulate it's players into buying a subscription. How is this game even considered free anymore? The employee who made the article OPENLY stated that the price floor updated was made to urge players into buying membership. There are things like Paid Access and membership-only games. Instead of saying "IT'S FREE!" we should just say "IT'S FREE! until you want to advance in the game."

My suggestion? Reduce the price floor to 1 R$ or 10 Tix. THAT is more reasonable than the outrageous changes that the catalog has been going through.

I dont think they will change anything about the price floor unless it does anything that lowers their moneyloads.

It will lower their moneyloads, actually. There are a lot of players protesting by not buying memberships and not buying clothing. This entire change was made to IMPROVE the income, and it did the opposite.

I am so angry with this stupid price floor I mean really now the clothes is 100 tix and some 300 tix!!!!! NBC'ers only get 10 tix every day that is a little harsh almost all the items in the catalog is way too much this is outrageous!!! And now even one piece of clothes are more then REAL MONEY!!!! Its like the ROBLOX employes really don't care about NBC'ers anymore they want us to pay more money! Well u know what im not going to pay a single tix or roblox or even real money until the prices go down >:(

Exactly. NBCer currency flow is entirely inferior to the Catalog prices.

How is this 'highly biased'.

I've clearly stated out actions of players and employees and my opinion on it. To each their own, but if you give one sentence and expect for me to take that seriously...

I just thought it was fairly obvious.

Also, you just said it yourself that it was biased.

"my opinion on it"

Using one's opinion is biased in favor of that opinion.

My opinion was SUPPORTED with fact. ROBLOX has even stated that our opinions on this are justified and to keep talking on this topic.

Vote with your wallet. The only way you will ever see change is when you stop buying their crap to put it bluntly. They are a business and a clever one, but they do not care for their consumers well being, only their wallets. Use your wallet as a weapon, demand quality, and if they can't fulfil your demands, take your wallet out the door with you. Get enough people doing this and watch how fast their slimy attitudes and business tactics change.

An opinions can not be supported with a fact. If something is supported with a fact, it is not an opinion.

Oh but please, do tell me these 'facts.'

I think Roblox is a website just to make money of people I mean the description of Roblox should be "Get out ur wallets spend all ur money on this game we created just for ur money!"

Since you clearly do not understand, I will take it apart piece by piece.

"'There are people who make quality stuff, and if they do so, they can MANUALLY raise the price and, if people just want people to wear something but not earn profit, they can price it 1 tix. There are 1 cent items on Amazon and Ebay, why not make 1 tix items on ROBLOX?'

This was well said. REAL money is less than ROBLOX's VIRTUAL money, now! This is ABSOLUTELY ridiculous."

No. You get 10 tickets for doing nothing a day. Comparing real money to ROBLOX currency like this is idiotic.



"Though the ROBLOX employees listened to it's players(ever so slightly, and it took them two weeks...), the price floors should be reduced because ROBLOX players are not being able to buy their clothing normally."

It actually only took them about a week. Catch up.
And as you said, they listened, they were reduced, now get over it.



"Clothing makers are instead of being rewarded with higher cash flow, are being DEPRIVED of the normal funds they'd get from their prices on their clothing because what THEY want it to be. ROBLOX is acting like the entire thing is some sort of Monopoly, and it isn't. This is just another way of ROBLOX trying to manipulate it's players into buying a subscription."

You should probably add in the part where you can get real money from them for making a game and using up their bandwidth for free. 'Cause technically, giving $20 and getting $100 back isn't spending a cent.



"How is this game even considered free anymore? The employee who made the article OPENLY stated that the price floor updated was made to urge players into buying membership."

It is free because you can play it for free.
Oh boy. A business using business strategies! How are they!? /endsarcasm



"There are things like Paid Access and membership-only games. Instead of saying "IT'S FREE!" we should just say "IT'S FREE! until you want to advance in the game."

You can technically access any paid access game for free.
As for membership-only games, if no one wanted them, then no one would make their game BC-only.
You can advance just as far as anyone else in ROBLOX without paying a cent.



"My suggestion? Reduce the price floor to 1 R$ or 10 Tix. THAT is more reasonable than the outrageous changes that the catalog has been going through."

You can get a shirt in just ten days, for doing absolutely NOTHING. If you ask me, that is an amazing deal.
If you want more tickets and robux, WORK FOR IT.

I'm not sure if you're getting the point, still.

'for doing nothing'

Doing nothing = logging on and (probably) participating.
'It actually only took them about a week. Catch up.
And as you said, they listened, they were reduced, now get over it.'

'only'
sure

'they were reduced, now get over it.'
Read last sentence before you even say this.

'a business using business strategies'
Business using terrible business strategies that is probably doing the opposite effect.

'a shirt in just ten days'

'just ten days'
'JUST TEN DAYS'
Please be joking.

'If you want more tickets and Robux, WORK FOR IT'
I love your logic right here. There's NO WORK done by players. buying a sub = working. Yeahrightbuddy.

Last time I checked people played this game for fun, not to work and have to wait nearly a month to get a full outfit for their characters.
