Let us begin with a disclaimer:
I love Roblox. I always have. While I devote increasingly more of my daily alloted free time towards games other than Roblox, I still always have this place to return to. When I found it in 2011, I was spellbound by all the possibilities, and for 2 years, I was happy here.
And then 2013 rolled in.
After the Dynamic Lighting update, things went into a slow collapse that began picking up inertia until its current speed.
While the game itself has improved vastly over 2013, a gigantic wall has bee thrust between the two main groups of Roblox: the NBCs and BCs.
Hate the inequality or love the power as you may, NBCs and BCs alike CANNOT deny the significance of the wedge separating the groups. The admins have been hard at work keeping Roblox FREE, but making almost everything in it very expensive.
BC only games? Fine, BCs should get extra benefits. Personal Build Servers? A bit of grumbling, nothing much.
The price floor for clothing, as everyone knows, was the last straw, ESPECIALLY considering that even BCs were annoyed at having to wait a few days between purchases and war group owners were simply livid because most of their members would be unable to buy a full uniform (usually 200 Tix).
Admins and moderators, feel free to delete this thread out of your own malice, but understand this:
It doesn't matter how free something is if you can barely enjoy it fully without payment.
The community has been very angry lately, and unless you guys do something to calm them down, well, the internet is not a very forgiving place and I cannot speak for everyone when I say that the most I'll do is proclaim Roblox admins and greedy money-eaters. ("But they need to make money too" say all the BC, without grasping that there are ways of doing it without enraging the community)
This thread will be lost among the masses and never seen by Roblox staff until moments before deletion, but saying something ineffective is better than saying nothing at all. |

As for the "future" part?
Here's what I envision:
New money-taking update > Users leave > Source of income decreased > New money-taking update > Users leave > Source of income decreased...
And so on and on until Roblox becomes P2P or barely F2P.
I'm going to make a personal bet that Roblox will either be defunct or very different (for the worse) by 2015. All bets accepted. |

"Users Leave" Don't be ignorant. More users join everyday. And less quit everyday. It's like the ratio of death:birth in real life. |

@LordDestroyerChaos: I regard almost all BC exclusive items in the catalog as fair benefits for BC members, unlike "free" things made ludicrously expensive. Also, I love Roblox and that's why I'm so intent on getting it to its former glory. Had I been a brand new user, I would instantly have been put off by the prices, but I was lucky enough to builf a sufficient wardrobe.
@Betmin: Wait until another large community-aimed update rolls by. They come by seeps and leave by hordes. |

As part of many different war groups. Server all of our member in our group are not able to rank up because of their lack of money, and inability to buy the uniform.
The price floor is ridiculous and everyone knows that. But honestly, do we really think roblox is going to remove it? I would love them to. But every update they make, they mostly stick to it all the way through. And they haven't removed many updates in the past. But many robloxians are in complete rage. Petitions on almost every category of forums has sky rocketed comments and support. So it's possible that roblox will remove the price floor. |

@Takendoors: The price floor update is like SOPA/PIPA: NOBODY likes it, EVERYBODY wants it gone, the amount of protest is IMMESURABLE...
And yet it never goes away.
Rebellion is purely ineffective. |

| ROBLOX is seeing massive growth, despite the bad updates. They are just going to keep expanding every year, as there are many paid users who still enjoy the site. |

| Rebellion is ineffective because moderators can just ban EVERYONE in a group related to a revolution for ROBLOX will one click of a button. If three fourths of the ENTIRE ROBLOX community rebelled, banning all of them could possibly make them go bankrupt. So if you want to rebel, don't gather just about a thousand users. Gather millions of users. |

That is true. However, you make the BC things sound like it's a big disadvantage for us NBCers.

The reasoning for the anger, is that most kids of my age, eleven, can't control their anger, because a lack of patience, and maturity. Since, a massive amount of nine, ten, and eleven year old kids just suddenly decided it would be a good idea to play an online game, without even controling their anger first. Even though, I'm not ageist, This time I think it's the insane addition of kids that aren't mature enough for social networking. And, On another thing, The games, Most people of my age, don't even know how to / have the patience to write a proper description, and if they are "smart" enough to edit any sort of aspect of their game, then it'd just be using a simple tool box, and inserting a free-model, dragging it, not even rotating, or moving it more efficiently, OR even for that matter editting it, (other than using the color tool.), On another aspect, the forums are slowly also getting "kid-fected", If you know what I mean, Now that there are more-angry kids, The forums have more "ban me posts", and more completely troll-like flaming. On another (yet another) aspect, finally not about kids, the other thing is even the 12 - 18 year olds sometimes have anger, but they don't just have that, they copy games a lot too. These days, only 35% of games are legit games, luckily however, The mods are improving, but it takes them 1 - 14 days to find out if people are copying games, which is a bit too long. The next reason is mainly, just too gullible of players, and spammers trying to get those gullible players to to random ROBUX crap, really? You actually listen to that? I wasn't that gullible, even when I was 8. Finally, In-game problems, such as admin beggers, are annoying people and asking for admin. I made a game on my main, and then I had 6 players online, 4 of the 6 were begging me for levels, and admin. Is that really necessary, why can't you just get your own levels, rather than just being lazy and asking the creator for levels. Just on another note: (oddly 95% of ROBLOX's kid community has atleast moderate anger, and 3% have mild anger, but only 2% have no anger.)
I only go on this site because I like to trade items, and the forums are still pretty entertaining at times, and because of the awesome game-engine ROBLOX has.
Yes, I know it's mostly the kids, if only that they either grow up, or gain more maturity, then we'd have a better community.
Also, Please don't ban this thread, it's personally just my opinion on this.
tl;dr: It's because game copiers, raging kids, admin-beggars, immature kids on forums, and I'm not ageist.
