Firstly, before you comment; I do understand that there has been numerous threads of this sort. Yet unfortunately ROBLOX is failing to listen to their users and what their users want.
Now, many of you may not know myself on ROBLOX, and so that is where I shall begin. I have been playing ROBLOX since 2009 and since then I have seen changes come to ROBLOX, I have seen the game change over time.
A large portion of my time on ROBLOX has been around clans, and most of all 'The Roblox Assault Team'. I have been in numerous clans on ROBLOX and I have seen how many of them perform. Thanksgiving, 2012, I gained leadership of 'The Roblox Assault Team', and since then I have spent my time working on projects for this clan, projects which shall benefit the *members* more than they do I.
You now understand who I am, and where I stand on ROBLOX. With this said, onto 'Price Floors' -
I shall start of being extremely blunt; This is one of the worst updates ROBLOX has released during my time on the game.
My reasoning behind this is very simple, and each of my reasons are backed up successfully. I do not expect ROBLOX to instantly revert the update because of my say, yet I do ask that they take into consideration the numerous threads being made over ROBLOX. I do ask that they listen to their users and listen to what we, the users, are asking for.
Firstly, Groups. As you know, many group leaders throughout ROBLOX have spent time creating uniforms for their groups. Uniforms for their *Members*. Us leaders have set the prices low, so we can advertise our group throughout ROBLOX. We have set the prices low so we are able to see our own members in our uniform.
With this said, Uniforms are a core element of many groups on ROBLOX and therefore they are something which users on ROBLOX look for when joining a new group. Therefore, having the price of a uniform set to 25R$/300Tix is not helping in anyway. This is something which is preventing a clan functioning as it once did. This update no longer allows our members to express their feelings towards the group.
Lets continue, new users. When a new user is added into the ROBLOX database, they are given 10Tix. ROBLOX staff have always stated that they care about their users. So, lets put this into consideration for the staff;
-A member joins ROBLOX, and gains 10 Tickets. They do not spend these tickets. -29 days go by. Finally, the user is able to purchase a *SINGLE* Shirt!
Surely, we want to be showing users that they are able to purchase things on ROBLOX. That they are able to wear what other users have created. Users should have the ability to customize their shirt and their pants freely, based on what the Shirt/Pants/T-Shirt creator set the price as.
Moving on once again, the developers. If you put this into consideration, ROBLOX staff claim this update was to allow Shirt/Pants/T-Shirt developers to gain more credit for their work. Yet, surely when they priced it as *THEY* wanted, they presented all the credit they wanted.
If a Shirt/Pants/T-Shirt developer wants a user to pay 25R$/300Tix, they are able to set this price themselves. A price of an asset should not be forced onto a user, instead it should be up to them to set the price based off of what they think is correct.
Furthermore, the Developer may not be impressed with a set piece of their work, and therefore they may want to sell this for a lower price than the others. Make it something which more ROBLOX *Users* are able to access and purchase. Setting a price limit, simply makes Developers earn less profit for their work.
Finally, ROBLOX has always stated that the updates they want are for the users. This was even stated during ‘Virtual BLOXcon’. Yes, they did state that often users may be against an update. Yet I am able to say, there has never been this many users against an update.
Just look, you have places filling up with users purely to rebel against this update. You have users flooding the Forums with posts about the new update, and how they want it to be reverted. You have users that are removing all clothing, to simply prove a point to you.
You have always stated that you try to replicate real world situations on ROBLOX, to give users an understanding of what would happen in reality. In the real world, a human would be able to set the price of something they want to sell. They would not go and host a garage sale outside, then suddenly be forced on selling an item for £25, would they?
To conclude, I understand that the staff will most likely ignore this post. I understand that they are going to try and ignore many of the posts which users are making about this issue. Yet what they need to remember, ROBLOX started off with such few users. Updates should not be based around what one wants, yet instead about what the majority wants.
The majority of ROBLOX users currently want this update reverted, they want the freedom to sell their own assets at their own prices. Users are what makes up ROBLOX, without each of us - You would not have made it here today.
I do believe this post will be deleted, purely due to the fact I am standing up for what I believe is right. Purely because I am standing up for the users. Yet this update has not helped ROBLOX, it has taken it down so many levels.
