Over the year's roblox(dot)com and it's economy has become more and more focused on the collection of hats and not playing game's. If your a scripter and think you diserve more respect for your games and hard work put into those games post the link to this in your blurb. Because right now robloxians value hats more than YOUR hard work scripting your games. I know some scripter who have worked for 2 and 4 years making a good game and then its not popular cause it doesent get updated or "Famous People" critisize it.Well now is the time to fight your your game rise up against the roblox economy. :/

The truth is that the average player doesn't and shouldn't care about how much work you put into your game. The only thing he should care about is how enjoyable the experience is. So if people aren't playing your game or don't stay long when they do, it's probably because your game isn't fun enough.

As for users collecting hats INSTEAD of playing games, I find this unlikely. These are not mutually exclusive, so many users do both.

And there is no correlation between membership and making good games, except perhaps that people who make more games are more likely to buy membership to increase their profits.

1. O_o Searnok And 2. Im Not Wanting People To Play Anyone's Game I Just Think Its Quite Unfair With The Clothing Minimum Price Set So High Its Unfair To NBC And It Cut Your Active Member's Down By At Least 25% or maybe less idk But anyways This is also my opinion on DevEx Isn't it obvious what DevX is?
They offer so little real money for so much robux they can afford to pay it out to people who fain money from roblox. But I'm almost certain DevX was created to get stupid illogical American kids with money to pay loads of money for robux just so they can get a fraction of what they paid for the robux they put through the exchange.

so you get a ton of robux lets say 2m
right now you would get 2,000 USD

if they the ratio of robux to USD which is currently

1,000:1

they and made it something like
500:1

you would get 4,000 USD from 2m robux, which means they lose more money.
also they distribute robux daily to (T/O)BC users for free.

What? I don't know where you've gotten this idea. I'm with Seranok on this one.

Also, could you please not capitalize every word in your sentence, they're like speed bumps for my eyes.

Not true since most of the users on ROBLOX cannot afford hats so instead they play games to make their time on this website more enjoyable.

if the ratio were 500:1 they still wouldnt lose money. Also NBC's get close to nothing now and all the rich people are all like HA STUPID NOOB just cause people don't have BC. They were corrupted by the economy cause it's horrible for NBC's and awesome for BC people who actually spend real currency on this game.

Idiot, never post again, I don't see you making any good game so why complain about the DevEx you'll never use, and how is 2000$ a month not enough? ROBLOX isn't hiring people to make games, it's just a reward. If DevEx didn't even exist you wouldn't be complaining. And it does, as a reward, and you seem to think of it as a job...?? Protip: don't use ROBLOX for all of your income

"But I'm almost certain DevX was created to get stupid illogical American kids with money to pay loads of money for robux just so they can get a fraction of what they paid for the robux they put through the exchange."

I would just like to address this. Most of the people who use DevX don't buy R$. Instead, they make games or trade limiteds in order to make a huge amount of R$, and then cash it out. I have at least 10x more with dev X than I ever spent on BC.

Honestly flawlessdeathman, all your points are illogical:

1) "focused on the collection of hats and not playing game's"
First use proper English if you want to be taken seriously. Second, if the main concern of Roblox was collecting virtual hats, it would of gone bankrupt long ago.

2) "making a good game and then its not popular cause it doesent get updated or "Famous People" critisize it"
Did you ever stop to think that maybe the creator didn't put enough effort in those two to four years to make it good or even spread the word to the public?

3) "Its Quite Unfair With The Clothing Minimum Price Set So High Its Unfair"
There is this thing called demand. By setting the clothing price high, it creates demand for the paid service provided by Roblox allowing them to make money. Not only that buy it also decimates profits made by the people who copy assets and sell them at a lower price.

4) "stupid illogical American kids with money to pay loads of money for robux just so they can get a fraction of what they paid for the robux they put through the exchange."
If there were someone stupid enough to do this, Roblox would have so much money, they could significantly increase the DevEx ratio.

5) "if the ratio were 500:1 they still wouldnt lose money"
The net income would drop significantly if they increased the amount of money made from the amount of robux.

6) "They were corrupted by the economy cause it's horrible for NBC's and awesome for BC people"
Again, back to demand.

@above your epic cause you watched that anime and its very true. Also Descrimination against NBC's from Rich people and BC's is very annoying no one respects a older account anymore unless its on of these 3: 1.Are very well known throughout roblox 2. have over 10-25 legit threads 3. Is a fellow BC,TBC, Or OBC This is the case alot of the time. Ex.(for searnok) in your game (Catalog Heaven) people get mad at people for spamming "nooby" gear especially if your NBC i have tested this out, i made a alt acct and used a gear that was considered "nooby" and got alot more flak for it on my NBC account.

Well, at least Roblox are making revenue off of people being worried by others calling them noobs for not actually having bC in the first place.

Basically, it isn't Roblox's fault that other people discriminate against others due to what upgrades they have on their account. Changing anything positive for NBC members will just make things much worse.

(Why is this in scripters again?)

If you want to get your game popular, try one of the following:

1. Get a minecraft thumbnail and ALL CAPS TITLE!!! and get lucky.
2. Make a legit enjoyable game and get even more lucky.
3. Adbomb it with 1 million tix.

Rich people are usually the ones who go with 3, and BCers are usually the rich people. I wouldnt say, however, that there's a strong correlation

I dont want anyone to play my game i just want scripters and NBC's to make more tickets a day or lower the price floor and earn some respect. And the roblox economy is horribly unfair to NBC Players and scripters work hard to get their game running alone much less advertise it.

So what? NBCs don't get much because they are free to play. Those who have paid for a service receive the service.

It is so simple!

Better for NBBs > less reason for BC / BC complaints > Less BC members > Less revenue for Roblox > Less effort spent in making features for games to use > Worse for NBC members.

Please, learn basic business practice before you try arguing against how things are done around here.

There is a reason why everyone is arguing against you. That reason is because you put forth illogical statements that suggest ideas that simply will not be done, and for good reasons too (reasons already posted).

>can someone please support this

Nobody here agrees with you. Try finding a forum where there are stupid 10 year old kids who have tricked themselves into loving 'old roblox' even though they joined like 6 months ago, and maybe you'll have better luck there.

>i'm tired of arguing on 4 different forums aabout this

Please don't post any more threads, the right section for this would probably be ROBLOX Talk at http://www.roblox.com/Forum/ShowForum.aspx?ForumID=13 or if you put this into a suggestion (make ROBUX and Tickets exchange rate fixed and not player-controlled), you can try posting in Suggestions and Ideas, but I can guarantee you it will never happen.

Could you stop copy/posting someone else's writing? Your inconsistent writing style clearly indicates that either someone else has made this post and you're copying bits and pieces of it, or someone else is writing your arguments for you.
