For the past year, I seen LOTS of forum threads implying that the ROBLOX Staff is either bad or just greedy. I also seen people complaining about the gameplay, saying it has gotten worse with time. "Community has gotten worse", lots of things. I am only going to try to clear this out, I'll also quote some people that showed me that the game still has potential for more, but no one even tries to achieve that.
First "ROBLOX is greedy!" ROBLOX is not greedy, 5 dollars is not a lot for BC, BC has many benefits, and also, they may get lots of money. But, they have lots of things to spend it on. They have to pay hosting on the clouds, they have to pay their employees, moderators, administrators, designers, and they also have to pay for their "HQ".
--"To conclude, ROBLOX is powered by lots of machines. While the main files which we interact with take up a very very small part of disk space on ROBLOX's main server, every contribution you make to ROBLOX increases their bills.
Yes, that's why they're "money hungry" because the more you say "BECAUSE THEYRE MONEY HUNGRY," the more money hungry you are making them." -SoulStealer9875, 01-08-2014 08:11 AM
As he said, there is lot of files that the hosts and storage system have to hold, save, and "protect" sometimes. About their bills, well... I don't think their bills are nothing, like, lots of computers taking lot of information and other things, did you even know about that?
Most of times, people just say that ROBLOX is "greedy" just because they take offsale hats which are bought with tickets; --"Tix items have only 1 page of hats now, there becoming utterly useless, even a cool hat named dragon knit went off sale, dang!" -Paultime 01-09-2014 09:55 AM If you atleast, paid attention to ROBLOX Staff when they talk about in-game ítems or developments, they said they would be taking offsale some tickets hats, but they also said that they will bring new ones, so, no reason to complain.
Also, the Price floor...ROBLOX made it so the artists who actually were selling clothes could get rewarded, but most of them only wanted to see lots of people wearing them, or seeing them go famous. Now they're overpriced (Atleast from my point of view.)
Second "2006 was better"
"the community was nicer.." -Goodice, 01-09-2014 06:47 AM
Most people say, that the community used to be better in the past, that might be posible, because ROBLOX had to have less users and administrators could have more control over them, nowadays we have around 1 million, or even more users online, or registered to date. I admit, that the community, yeah its a bit worse, but that doesn't make the game bad. The game has potential, but the community doesn't. We can fix this community, we could have more moderators, or enable Volunteer Moderators again. Or, just, make more rules, or try your best to be a good community member :). (If you have something to help this part of the argument, you can comment.)
--"The community was only nicer 'cause ROBLOX didn't have very many people playing it at that time. Of course you'd expect more politeness with a small community at first. " -CeeHD, 01-09-2014 06:49 AM
That is reasonable.
--"I've been analyzing the psychological pattern of this sub-forum lately, for some reason it's a different kind of hivemind than the one in RT who praise a flavor of the month RT'er, instead here in ATR they praise moderators to the point were the only correct opinion is that one of the mod and its followers. Another small thing that's been bothering me is the harassment presented when someone implies a different opinion of that of the hivemind, it ends up in name calling and rule breaking, something that the mods do not like dealing with." -Ouendan, 01-08-2014 06:38 AM
--"I have observed the same occurrence, and hive mind is definitely an applicable term, though I think that the motivation for this type of behavior is different than you previously suggested, and that is that the reason the hive mind exists, in ATR and RT alike, is a simple human desire, which is the desire (or is it really a need?) for attention. It applies to all subforums everywhere, it even applies to myself (being a human and totes not a robot, fo sho).
That is what drive ATR to seek attention from the mods and RT to seek attention from what ever is popular." -SlingshotJunkie, 01-08-2014 07:50 AM
and; Bad ads, and places. Why? Remember, there is mostly kids playing this game, and most of times, they don't know how to build, or to script, and how to design with image-editor softwares, thats the only reason for bad games and ads, and when someone asks for tips or help, they only get flamed.
If we try, we can get lot of things solved, and we can get the community, gameplay, moderation, and almost everything. We can get it better and/or fixed. Just take your time to think, to give it a try, look at the legit forumers or people that act like you should act, not like an insane troll with no limits, just, take some time to think about this, I wonder if anyone got this far, like, he/she readed everything, well, congratulations. If you have any ideas, or anything to contribute and help to build this, feel free to do so, >SERIOUS and/or LEGIT< replies will be readed and taken in count.
Thanks you.

Anyways, if TL;DR'ers are already here, I can expect trolls. Nah, they will be easily ignored, as a social fail. |
