First of all, DataStore, I don't need a snappy remark about why I'm wrong or why inflation is "good." The tix inflation is getting annoying to the NBC'ers because we need robux and it's so blasted hard to get it that I barely get anything a month. I want the old ROBLOX back, the one where 10 tickets = 1 R$.

whaii, roblux, whaii

Inflation is not good.

Inflation is the continued rise of avergae price in an economy.
Let's look at an example here.

Prices for a Limited item each month called "Porkpie Hat". (Not a real hat)

===Jan: 50, Feb: 49, Mar: 55, Apr: 41, May: 43, Jun: 54===

As you can see, the prices are about the same. No huge changes. However, here is the inflation for the porkpie hat.

===Jan: 60, Feb: 84, Mar: 158, Apr: 156, May: 325, Jun: 401===

As you can see, the prices go up and up without coming back down. That is inflation, and it spans across all goods in an economy.

One thing I forgot to mention - Inflation is the continued rise of average goods in a country or an economy.

'Hyperinflation' is the huge jump of prices, sometimes caused when a currency no longer has value. This is almost what is happening with tickets.

You can now advertise with robux, and most ticket items went offsale a few months ago. This means more people are trading tickets into robux, and less people are trading robux into tickets. Therefore, robux has high value and tickets have little worth.

Zyliox, Roblox do not directly control the currency rates. This is controled by users. However, their actions have an effect (price floors, robux adverts, ect) on how it works. Their actions do have an impact.

This can be solved by doing the following:
-More ticket items
-Sell LimitedU items with tickets.

If DevEx was removed, than the price floor could be removed. ROBLOX is losing money due to DevEX, this may be a reason why inflation is occurring.
