The minimum cost for a shirt is 10 robux? Serisouly?! I can't make shirts that are like 2 or 3 robux anymore, and I hate it. It's ruins sales!

There are OBC'ers who have to put aside money for clothing, and they even hate selling for over 100 tix. It's just sickening what roblox has come to. They're just trying to rack up every last penny out of us and then they're probably just gonna shut down and retire in luxury.

I don't know why Roblox did this, in fact this doesn't help with groups.

Actually, this sums up exactly what they did:

1. Add price floor
2. NBC are practically forced to get BC so they can be satisfied, giving roblox more money.
3. They throw their money on DevEx, causing more people to want OBC, and roblox gets more money.
4. NBC become lower than they already are.
5. Roblox gets more than enough money, and DevEx encourages an older, more obnoxious audience to roblox.

@javeman2000

Stereotyping their relationships with money is absurd and selfish to think of. Doesn't any business want money? Nintendo wants money. Disney wants money. What's your point if ROBLOX does it?

If ROBLOX never had to run servers, pay minimum wage, or get run-over the impression of stealing models that belong to other companies, then there wouldn't have to be a Price Floor.

Actually, as it's been going around, it was believed that a long time ago people have suggested a similar concept towards this which would evidently benefit the consumers on the market; A.K.A the BC members. Though you don't get many customers as you would normally would, it benefits players who had successfully pulled through with their clothing's by the quality and uniqueness that went through making it.

If you don't like the Price Floor, that's your problem. If you simply feel that you must resent the very people who let you into their site, and feel that it by all has something to do with money, then you can lead yourself out of this problem for all that matters.

roblox gets enough money. It's just that now, they wanna be rich and greedier than ever.

"or get run-over the impression of stealing models that belong to other companies"
How does that apply right now? I'm pretty sure they got sued by Lego ages ago, and that's why they changed studs. That's not an issue.

And "running servers",
They have 3 memberships on this site. And NBC are low enough, they didn't need to add price floor to make it worse. The least they can do is lower it to 50 tix and 5 robux. We would like to not pay and also not wait 2 months for 3 shirts and pants that are going get old next week.

Will people like you bring up the same excuses over and over

" they need money to run servers"

if they did then they would not give out the Dev ex they have way too much money

I get it they are trying to keep the game up with updates but there are so called sponsor's to help games like roblox out and contracts really if they did more business with sony or any other gaming or indie sites they can help in there sells

recounted, yes! An incredibly legitimate fact! That's like the whole point of price floor is to give OBC more money, thus encouraging more to buy OBC. and they get enough money from that.

"I'm pretty sure they got sued by Lego ages ago, and that's why they changed studs. That's not an issue."

And then they got sued again for their studs. But in truth, maybe it's not so much of an issue. Sorry I mentioned it.

"They have 3 memberships on this site."

What is your point? It's not like, ANY one of them are forced upon you to buying.

"And NBC are low enough, they didn't need to add price floor to make it worse."

That's not a reason to dismantle the Price Floor. What you do with your money should be your responsibility.

"We would like to not pay and also not wait 2 months for 3 shirts and pants that are going get old next week."

Appreciate the idea of having money to begin with, and being able to spend it needlessly on the things you personally desire, which are mostly cosmetics. Should they revoke that benefit, it would stir up problems even I could find tempting to address.

ROBLOX is not big. But it's also not wealthy. No business could ever be.... unless they decided to NOT being paying any one of their workers minimum wage, or had decided to retire with the money they hoarded out.

What's annoying is that every update; up until the point of packages, had they been ratted out by the community that they care so much about money. Wouldn't you as well? Wouldn't you like to see how blissful it is to be rich, but also to be discouraged by tons of people who care about you? ROBLOX faces this situation everyday. And they can't please everyone.

Stand up and accept the reality of this situation. They're not going back on their word. If you can't take it, then leave. I'll see to it.

If any of you can think of an alternative to the price floor that addresses the same problems, then go ahead and suggest that.

If ROBLOX never had to run servers, ROBLOX wouldn't exist.

It's been 6 months.

Take a hint.


DevEx wasn't much of a good move.

Let's see now...

ROBLOX is free, in what ways?

>Studio is free
>Playing games is free
>Learning is free
>Groups are free to join
>Customizing your character is free.

Everything else are extras.
Deal with it.

I remember when they did this before I took my five month break.

I rallied against it, and said this would happen, and just to lower the market fees as incentive instead.

What happened? Exactly what was expected. I totally support OP.
