I usually post threads here on my alt. But this is something I need to talk about right now.
A real problem, the games on the front page. Yes, they might look fun. But are they? I see several places every day on the front page that change the name, thumbnail, and description of the game. It's misleading, and that's a big problem!
I won't name specific games, but some examples of that game changing are, "Climb up a Noob" to "Build an awesome house on an island!" then the actual game itself is an obby course from the free model section.
How do you think we, robloxian game builders, feel about this? I know there are some great games on the front page like Darkness 2, Murder Mystery, Work At A Pizza Place, SFT, and others. I can barely find good games these days other than the ones I just listed. It gets boring sometimes playing the same games over and over and over again. My favorite game this month is Deathrun 2. It's a fun, well built game. Like any other good (emphasis on good) game on the front page these days. I feel really bad for the game creators that can barely run good ads, and promote themselves in the forums that try hard enough to make they're game popular, but the same old games are always front page.
What we need to do is get a better system putting games on the the front page. Like in the popular section, we could have the most likes or recent players. I know they already do that with the total amount of players, but that could also boost newer built popular games. I'm not sure about top paid and all of that, that's fine. We just need a way for newer games to be showcased that are worth playing. If you have any other suggestions, please list them below! |

| Well, there would be like a "new games" section or something to showcase. |

| Didn't read past second sentence, but people play what they want to. If somebody is smart enough to manipulate players, then reward them. It's no different in the real world except you can be sued or false advertising, which is extremely easy to find loopholes through. |

Synthetically, your statement suggests to manipulate other people. Encourage it.
In what we call reality, your almost right. On ROBLOX? Erm, well, try again.
I'm pretty sure most of us know that ROBLOX is for young developers, young children or teens.
I'm positive ROBLOX doesn't want 18+ rated content on their site would they? No, so that's why they have been improving their content in their blogs and website.

Well, and some game makers are very good at that. But if you look at the stats of the game such as the up votes vs down votes and there is more down votes, it'll be more suspicious. And yes, I know players choose what they play.. but wouldn't you get sick of seeing the same game there for about 3 weeks in a row? |

| Also, manipulating Roblox players isn't what this whole site is about anyways. |
