Alright Roblox, lets break this down.
Every SINGLE time we ask for something Roblox, you backstab us. In all reality you've only made a few updates any of us like, and you basically say "Get used to it and go away" You're alienating your customers and above all else, your users.
Lets see updates we haven't liked: -Animations -Textures(Reasonably, decent, but still need work) -Heck you've hit scripters in the face a ton of times with "Security updates" -Games page<-Every classic user hates it, even some of the noobs. -Price Floors<- Every user hates it, especially clans. -Advertisements to people without BC, Roblox, sure you're showing year after year growth in money, but right now your users hate you, if you join a sword fighting game, you load before the ad is over, without the window open, basically leaving you open to deaths. Thanks for forcing BC upon us with terrible ads, most of which don't even relate to us. -Lastly the chat filter, sure you got it mostly working, but lets be honest here, you just need to get rid of chat for those under 13, and do minor restrictions for those under 15. There is no real reason to censor it after that, infact most of us are mature enough at that age to not use such words.
Now lets move on to things that are fairly recent that have an outcry of users: Black Friday sale:
You morons are devaluing classic hats by making them 50% off, I don't care if it was polled, it's wrong.
Gear? Where is the Gear? Seriously.
Trading:
Sure it's nice and all, but far too many noobs are biased on RAP, I'd like to see an formula that calculates RAP through a different method like, current lowest seller, last price sold at, and the prices of those sold over the last month, including the average values those hats were traded for.
The devaluing is insane right now, I'd like to see a limit to how far down you can actually go from the original price, or the most common price.
-Wrapping up-
Alright, I'm a classic Roblox user, I've had several accounts and bought BC on multiple. The things that we hate about your updates far outweigh the things that we actually like. I'd like to see you guys getting our opinions more often, not just being like "Oh in a few days no matter what you say, we're going to scr#w you over." You need to take up the business ideology that if your customers don't like it, change it. Focus on things we actually WILL like, such as perhaps updates to groups, a more dynamic player communication system, BETTER intergame teleportation. More dynamic interserver communication. We don't like these updates, most of us wouldn't protest this but I am. I blame John. There is a time where instead of thinking about all of that "Work" that you put into updates, you should think about asking your users before putting in that work. You never do that though. As far as a sandbox game goes, as far as a "Build anything, Do anything, Be anything" goes, you've failed. Your adding restrictions, you're denying rights to users who want to become better shirt makers< How do you improve if you can't get feed back through sales? Roblox get a grip, and start listening to us.
I'm sure I will have more to add in the future, but for now, farewell.

Support.
ROBLOX ignores the community and does whatever they want; even if its something we don't like, or makes them lose customers, its their loss, and our hate. |

I think the main premise of this thread is that you want us to get user input for every update.
So sure, that'd be cool.
However, one of your complaints is something (Black friday hats) that is a direct result of input and consultation of users. So I'm not really sure what more we can do. It seems no matter what we do we can't please. |

The animations are among the worst; people have already taken their games and scripted a conversion to go back to how it used to be.
The games page is BY FAR the thing i hate most.
I hardly even look for new games anymore, i just look around at my friends profiles to look for a game that they have shared, because i hate going through the games page because its innefficient, ugly, and it just turns me off so i don't even use it. |

I honestly think a lot of people are over reacting, most of the updates are perfectly fine. But some of these things are pretty reasonable. Chat filter and price floors are terrible/annoying updates in my opinion. And trading does need a lot of work. Instead of having something saying "RAP" on the bottom of the item, they should have something that calculates the value by RAP,Demand,Amount up for sale, Amount in existence, and other things. |

| @Gordon, I am not completely against the black friday, I just hopped out of the votes you would have taken something that would have been better for the player economy. |

"However, one of your complaints is something (Black friday hats) that is a direct result of input and consultation of users. So I'm not really sure what more we can do. It seems no matter what we do we can't please."
You're going back on your original statement, you're saying now that you are already doing that, however not in the ways we would like.
Sure, the only input you really ever listened to was hat sale suggestions, and partially the massive amounts of complaints on S&I about the price floor, you reduced it, but that's the only thing you listened to, and you only reduced the problem, not removed it.
But we want to give you input that you will listen to about everything, and if a large amount of us ask for something back or to be removed or added, then you should do it, because alot of the time we are just ignored. |

| As a suggestion: I would personally love to see roblox send out a PM to your inbox when a blog post is released. I think it would get users more active in what is actually happening. |

I think the issue we have is that when something is changed, the immediate reaction is "It sucks get rid of it" when the reaction should be "how can we make it better."
There are many things, including the chat filter, that can't be removed for a variety of reasons including laws we must follow, so getting rid of it isn't an option. We can however always talk about ways to make it more effective.
I think my main point is that this forum has turned into a complaint forum, and that's not what it should be. It has become a place for negativity instead of constructive criticism and ideas.
For example, textures. People want them removed and the old ones put back. Why do that when we can continue to work on them and improve? (Ie Corroded metal has been drastically changed since it came out.)
I think this forum functions at it's best when it is positive. I can list many major updates that were a direct result of positive S&I posts, and I think we need to get back to that. |

| My main point about black friday, is only that I don't think the majority of our community voted. To continue though, we really should get PMs notifying us about important events on roblox, including updates that you are discussing about putting into the works, and whenever there is a poll or vote. As a community, I know several people who are barely active concerning updates. If we can motivate them we can make roblox a better place, and perhaps Gordon, reduce the negativity as more of us will be able to contribute. I also understand that there are laws that you must follow, however improvements can be made as you said, I will soon post a new thread asking for suggestions, along with a few I have myself. |

@Gordon
Reply to my statement please
Also, i think you should go up to your boss and tell them how much of us are complaining! We are allover the forums and we wan't all these new features that are made only so you can make more money, and tell them we want reductions and we want what we originally had back. Because chances are, your bosses don't know half of what we are arguing about. |

My question to you Gordan, is why put the price floor so high?
Its been everywhere and I personally(and I bet others too) find it quite unfair for NBC'ers as well as clan members/users to play as much as 100 or more for just ONE piece of clothing.
So why do it?
I could care less if it was in a range from 1-10, but anywhere ridiculous like 25+ for clothing is out of this world crazy.
That's one very particular thing I want changed, and as soon as possible too..... |

Gordon, tell the Administrators to get off whatever they're on and remove the price floor instead of decreasing it.
That's a HUGE slap in the face and I knew you'd pull that crap because both you and me knew it would shut everyone up. It was most likely your plan all along.
It needs to be removed. |
