ROBLOX has gone TOO FAR. First off, I'm not going to spam about how ROBLOX was better in its golden ages, a.k.a. 2007-2008 and possibly 2009. But seriously,
Bad things:
COMMUNITY: ROBLOX is crumbling down by its own! Don't get me started about the community! We are full off griefers and hackers. Roblox isn't supposed to be a SOCIAL site, it's supposed to be a GAMING site. The main target is no longer the entertainment and game goals, but Tix(Tickets) and R$(Robux)! Builders Club and other premium groups have grown with ROBLOX moderators and they don't care what's happening!
EXPLOITING AND PLACES: The only good thing I can say about the exploiting issue is that we got over the place ruining and destroying business, BUT. BUT. The copying is not over. We are no longer to be capable of holding this off! I can't even THINK of how the places will look like in the future! Exact same copy of everything? COME ONE!
PRICES AND PAID ACCESS: Most of the roblox builders and creators are literally abusing the paid access! The regular, free account ROBLOX member has to wait TWENTY FIVE OR THIRTY FIVE DAYS to access a paid game! The price floor. Good old shirts and pants. THEY HAD TO RUIN THIS TOO! There is no shirt cheaper than 10 R$! TEN-ELEVEN DAYS FOR A SHIRT? TEN OR ELEVEN DAYS FOR A PAIR OF PANTS?! What is roblox turning into?!
TICKETS, ROBUX, AND THE CATALOG: A regular roblox player is getting 10 tickets a day. They're pretty much useless. Only the event gear, which is paid no more than 100 tickets, and which is useless, again. NO GEAR FOR TICKETS! Take this as an example: every Limited or Limitited U(unique) item is not less than 300 ROBUX. That's 300 days of waiting (for a not premium player)! Those things get closed or sold out, and NO NBC player can get one! That is ridicilous!
BANNING: The thing I just HATE about ROBLOX is the random banning! Some creator of games, that has finally got famous and is trying to keep his game up, GETS BANNED! OUT OF NOWHERE, FOR NOTHING! Also, I once got banned for saying a word A WORD! I was playing an apocalypse simulator with my friend, and I gave him a juice box, so he doesn't dehydrate, I said "Drignk this.", but, GUESS WHAT! I then corrected myself, said "*drink" AND I GOT BANNED FOR CORRECTING MY OWN MISTAKE! WHAT?!
EVENTS: Events are built on Holidays, and they are supposed to get people to play roblox, and get prizes (free gear and hats) from them. But the prizes are often useless.
Good things (pretty much)
COMMUNITY: Atleast the community hasn't fallen yet. There are still nice and polite people, that use grammar, that are helpful, and that rise you in the right moment.
EXPLOITING AND PLACES: Atleast we got over some of the place destroying and razing. Also, there were some "good exploiters", that tried fixing the game script for one server, and editing it as players please.
PRICES AND PAID ACCESS: No good can come out of this.
TICKETS, ROBUX, AND THE CATALOG: There is some literally free stuff, like those gear for 1 Ticket, or hats, or other stuff, but it's event only, and there are prizes, not good, but honestly, maybe it's the only gear slash hat you'll get in a long time.
BANNING: There are some rightful and correct bans, like massive place exploiter and copier bans. (jaredvaldez and his accounts, other people)
EVENTS: Free gear, free hats, but that require work and gameplay to get over, and earn.
_________________________________________________________________________________
I'm not trying to down roblox, or to get myself banned, neither criticize the admins and the moderators, neither the working and works of theirs. This is just my own opinion, correct me if I'm wrong.

Sorry sir, but this is Suggestions & Ideas, this is an opinion, I suggest you re-post this on the [ROBLOX] > 'All Thing ROBLOX' aka : 'ATR' or [Club Houses] > 'ROBLOX Talk' aka : RT, also fits in [Club Houses] > 'Off Topic' aka : OT.

*Yawn*
"COMMUNITY: ROBLOX is crumbling down by its own! Don't get me started about the community! We are full off griefers and hackers. Roblox isn't supposed to be a SOCIAL site, it's supposed to be a GAMING site. The main target is no longer the entertainment and game goals, but Tix(Tickets) and R$(Robux)! Builders Club and other premium groups have grown with ROBLOX moderators and they don't care what's happening!" First of all, GAMING = COMMUNITY. You game with OTHER PEOPLE. Notice how WoW, LoL, WoT, RS, AQ, etc etc etc, have multiple ways you can meet up with friends and do stuff? Gaming = community. You can't have an online multiplayer game without community. Try it. It just doesn't work.
Anyway, if the main goal was about tix and robux, please explain why roblox isn't trying to monetize (profit) from building a place. Of all the things BC does, it only SLIGHTLY touches building a place. Everything else is just an add-on. You can easily play roblox without clothing, without BC, without money. So why do you complain about it?
>"ROBLOX moderators and they don't care what's happening!" Really? How do you know this?
"EXPLOITING AND PLACES: The only good thing I can say about the exploiting issue is that we got over the place ruining and destroying business, BUT. BUT. The copying is not over. We are no longer to be capable of holding this off! I can't even THINK of how the places will look like in the future! Exact same copy of everything? COME ONE!" WNTS.
"PRICES AND PAID ACCESS: Most of the roblox builders and creators are literally abusing the paid access! The regular, free account ROBLOX member has to wait TWENTY FIVE OR THIRTY FIVE DAYS to access a paid game! The price floor. Good old shirts and pants. THEY HAD TO RUIN THIS TOO! There is no shirt cheaper than 10 R$! TEN-ELEVEN DAYS FOR A SHIRT? TEN OR ELEVEN DAYS FOR A PAIR OF PANTS?! What is roblox turning into?!" ^OH NO. TWENTY/THIRTY DAYS OF SAVING UP FOR CLOTHING SO YOU'LL NEVER HAVE TO EVER AGAIN! THE WORLD'S GOING TO END!^
How many pants/shirts do you ACTUALLY use? Okay, I use an ice golem body so really I don't need shirts or pants, but still. And uniforms for groups are just pointless anyway.
"TICKETS, ROBUX, AND THE CATALOG: A regular roblox player is getting 10 tickets a day. They're pretty much useless. Only the event gear, which is paid no more than 100 tickets, and which is useless, again. NO GEAR FOR TICKETS! Take this as an example: every Limited or Limitited U(unique) item is not less than 300 ROBUX. That's 300 days of waiting (for a not premium player)! Those things get closed or sold out, and NO NBC player can get one! That is ridicilous!" That's intentional. NBCers can't use limiteds, so why should they have them? As for ticket gear/hats, I can't disagree. It would be nice to have more of those.
"BANNING: The thing I just HATE about ROBLOX is the random banning! Some creator of games, that has finally got famous and is trying to keep his game up, GETS BANNED! OUT OF NOWHERE, FOR NOTHING! Also, I once got banned for saying a word A WORD! I was playing an apocalypse simulator with my friend, and I gave him a juice box, so he doesn't dehydrate, I said "Drignk this.", but, GUESS WHAT! I then corrected myself, said "*drink" AND I GOT BANNED FOR CORRECTING MY OWN MISTAKE! WHAT?!" Alcoholic references. Note that the fourms are more lax than the chat, because with chat you have to moderate a constant stream of irrelivant information. Either way, mweh.
"EVENTS: Events are built on Holidays, and they are supposed to get people to play roblox, and get prizes (free gear and hats) from them. But the prizes are often useless."
Good things (pretty much)
"COMMUNITY: Atleast the community hasn't fallen yet. There are still nice and polite people, that use grammar, that are helpful, and that rise you in the right moment." There are only two threats to roblox. Seriously. Only two.
The first one is the catalogue. The second and more dangerous one is the community. This is coming from someone who has been on roblox for four years on this account (So I'm not including the year that came before it) and has spent all of this time on S&I, the place where the community has the most say.
"PRICES AND PAID ACCESS: No good can come out of this." Really? Plenty of good has come out of it. People THINK about what they're buying, which means they stop whining about not having enough money, for one. Second of all, inflation has gone down a bit (why we price things so high)"
And everything isn't an argument.
@OP: If you can't correct it, don't criticise it. I didn't see a single-... incorrect. I didn't see more than one constructive suggestion stated clearly. That's a lot of criticism, but only one correction.

A bunch of know-it-alls replying to my thread. Typical answering to a forum post on roblox.
To you guys that think becoming a roblox admin is easy, one thing I can say is "Good luck". I can also tell you that signing as a future roblox moderator slash admin, or signing AS AN ADMIN is rule breaking. I did get warned for those too. The community. Yea? You think GAMEPLAY is same as COMMUNITY? Not me. I can't say I'm completely right, but, eh, gameplay is completely different than community. Community topics are Forums, Player section, your friends list, groups, etc... If you think you can go around and tell people what means what, that means that, and act like a smarty pants, you're wrong. I know what A.K.A. means, and it's not your problem if I don't know what means what, or I know what means what. Oh yea, and for those for tell me to quit... Guess what. I'll never quit 'till this is sorted out, and 'till ROBLOX, one day becomes what it was, hopefully. Spraying your "knowledge" won't help, nor get you popular. I posted this thread because I wanted to see how other players will reply, but I surprisingly didn't get what I still expected. |

I might as well bump this. :/
"@frozen, what game are you referring to when you say AQ" Adventure Quest.
"A bunch of know-it-alls replying to my thread. Typical answering to a forum post on roblox." Well, this is S&I.
"The community. Yea? You think GAMEPLAY is same as COMMUNITY? Not me. I can't say I'm completely right, but, eh, gameplay is completely different than community. Community topics are Forums, Player section, your friends list, groups, etc... " And, so are games. The fourms, groups, friends, okay, they're all valid responces for community. They are there, I can give you it. But, they are EXPANSIONS of the gaming community of roblox; You talk about roblox, the GAME on the fourms. You gained most friends from roblox, the GAME. (most) Groups express themselves with roblox, the GAME. You know, clan wars, EBR, special places, game fan groups, etc etc etc.
And, I will restate my point: Gaming, and building games, are the only thing roblox can easily monetise over but at its core, does not. You can make a place without paid access or badges, or ads, and you can use sounds for free. You don't need to pay to make a place, You don't lose money everytime you make a place.
"If you think you can go around and tell people what means what, that means that, and act like a smarty pants, you're wrong." Well, I *am* a 4 year S&Ier. When you've experienced so much, you just act like a "smarty pants" without really realising it. I never intended to come out as such a thing.
"I know what A.K.A. means," Good. :D "and it's not your problem if I don't know what means what, or I know what means what." Correct, it's not. It's yours. And it's your fault if you don't, which you claim to do.
"yea, and for those for tell me to quit... Guess what. I'll never quit 'till this is sorted out, and 'till ROBLOX, one day becomes what it was, hopefully." That's like going into an alleyway and getting stabbed every time you go into that alleyway, only to continue going into that alleyway because "that alleyway should go back to not having people that will stab me when I go in". Well, okay, the danger of that post doesn't really apply, but still; Roblox has changed. And you'll enjoy it more if you didn't sit there, complaining about the past and instead turned those complaints into beneficial, constructive hopes for the future. Something you haven't.
"Spraying your "knowledge" won't help, nor get you popular. I posted this thread because I wanted to see how other players will reply, but I surprisingly didn't get what I still expected." First of all, I don't want to be popular. If I wanted to be popular I'd just start a "reverse this update" petition whenever an update comes out. That'd make me popular, but it just wouldn't be right. Second of all, spraying my knowledge just has helped, clearly; You're not even really responding to any of the arguments I raised, except one. Instead, you're just going on about how I proclaim myself to be of superior intellect and imply that I was undermining your own. ("I know what A.K.A. means,and it's not your problem if I don't know what means what, or I know what means what.") That's a very basic error; nitpicking, as I call it. Taking one tiny few aspects of an entire post and using those tiny few aspects as an argument. It's not a good idea because you lose sight of the main points of someone's post, instead trying to gain miniscule victories that don't help you.
Nor are you being constructive, whilst we're at it; I only saw one constructive nugget of text in your OP, and no constructive nuggets of text in your reply. If you can't correct it, don't criticise it. And, unless you'd love to prove me wrong, you can't seem to correct it. Why are you criticising it, then?
I've done this little post archetype over and over and over. Really, the stuff I'm saying is next to second nature. |

my thoughts on your 'bad section
First one - Partial agree.
EXPLOITING - Exploiting is less of an issue than it was, and copied games show up so much less these days due to the like/dislike system.
PRICES AND PAID ACCESS - I agree.
TICKETS, ROBUX, AND THE CATALOG - BC is a premimum feature that allows you to get these items. Roblox is a company and this is how they make money.
BANNING - Use the appeals. appeals@roblox.com
EVENTS - Well some people like them. Not everyone is the same. It is true that I wish I could have gotten more out of the halloween event, as I didn't enjoy it. |

As a matter of fact, I sent a message to info@roblox.com using my hotmail account. For the third time I tell you, this is just my opinion. I don't say I'm right, but I don't say I'm wrong in everything either. I noticed that some of you didn't even read my whole post, so I have to repeat over and over. |

Community: Yes, I agree, it's not as good as it used to be, but I don't think it's really that bad.
Exploiting and Places: I don't think exploiting has been around for a few months, and if people do start exploiting, Roblox will fix it within two weeks. And anyways, copied games are kinda dying out.
Prices and Paid access: Most users use the paid access to have early access for their games, as a way to earn money for ads, badges, and game passes for when the real version comes out. Even f it's not for a beta version, it's still am way to get money for ads and stuff. I do agree with the price floor, though, Roblox says its a way to reward good shirt makers for their work, but even the best clothes makers on Roblox, like Vednettathegreat, probably don't get as much sales as they used to.
Tickets, Robux, and the Catalog: Learn how to use the Trade Currency, it's actually pretty useful, I've made 500R$ profit by just using some of my tix. Also, there's a few hats that did originally cost 50-100R$ before selling out.
Banning: Unless you get a 7 day ban or a perma ban, I don't really see the big deal. Of you do get one of those, just e-mail appeals@roblox.com.
Events: What do you expect e prizes you get to do? Turn into something else? They're for you to wear, and the events are pretty fun. |
