Hey guys.
Before you type it, yes, this does fall under WNT's. However, I have took lots of things into consideration to ensure it's not another stupid suggestion.
So, ROBLOX is currently working on being better for developers. The new DevEx and Consumable Game Passes are great! But as always, they're BC only. Now the point in BC is to give people who pay extra features. They obviously like ROBLOX, or they wouldn't pay.
But then there's the developers, who love ROBLOX, but can't afford BC. So what if they didn't have to pay for it, and earnt it instead?
This is what I've called VBC, standing for Veteran Builders Club. To qualify for it, you have to have the requirements. These are:
• The account has been on ROBLOX for 2 years or more • The account has 500+ Forum Posts • The account has a place which has 200+ visits • That same place must have 5+ likes • The account must have 100 R$ • The account must have played 50+ hours on Games.
So why all the requirements? Well, being on ROBLOX for more than 2 years, shows dedication to the site. Half a thousand forum posts shows that the ROBLOXian not only builds/plays game, and that they've explored the site. The place they've developed must have 200 visits or more, to show that they can bring in visitors to their game. The 5+ likes shows they have potential. The 100 Robux shows that they have found ways to create money. And finally, the 50+ hours shows that they not only develop, but test games aswell.
So what does VBC give you? Well, it's BC features, but with limits. For example, VBC would give you daily Robux. But only 5 per day as opposed to 15. It lets you create groups... but only 2. It lets you create Game Passes, and T-Shirts but you won't get as much money everytime they get sold.
This allows developers to use the full range of tools to create successful games without paying for their account, but won't let them earn as much.
Finally, if you have an OBC account, but qualify for VBC, you would keep your OBC account! When it ran out, you'd be a VBC. If you we're a VBC and then upgraded, you would no longer be a VBC.
Thanks for reading and please support, Draco! |

Nice post.
However, if its in WNTS, most likely they don't want to hear this anymore. |

They don't want to hear it anymore...
But usually it's noobs running round saying "It's not fair! Give me this, give me that."
I'm trying to help developers by suggesting a GOOD feature, instead of complaining about BC features. |

| I would like to change how it would work a little, maybe if a user is well established and has many hundred of even thousands of positive reviews on things such as scripts, games, etc, then they could get access to things like game-passes and other useful developer tools, I doubt anything like this would happen though and I don't exactly think it is fair. |

Let's take a look at these requirements.
• The account has been on ROBLOX for 2 years or more -Or one year, so that you automatically obtain it with the veterans badge.
• The account has 500+ Forum Posts -I wouldn't add this as a requirement. It only encourages spam, and post count is meaningless.
• The account must have 100 R$ -I wouldn't add this either, as the amount of robux is not really indicative of anything relevant.
• The account has a place which has 200+ visits • That same place must have 5+ likes -I'd raise the limits for these. People who have developed good games usually have much higher place visits.
• The account must have played 50+ hours on Games. -Iffy on this one. I don't really see the point.
"If you we're a VBC and then upgraded, you would no longer be a VBC." This is kind of weird, though. So it's a poor-mans 1 month builders club you get after two years? I don't see why that would work. It'd be better if it wasn't listed as a Builders Club, so that it doesn't conflict with BC's. |

| Okay... Let's call it a Developers Account. Access to Developers Tools for dedicated Robloxians. |

| This is an interesting post, though I do believe that they are never going to create any more membership types. |

I know they wouldn't add it to the Builders Club page, but maybe if it had it's own little tab called Developer Account's.
I know a lot of people will disagree, or find the thread interesting but unlikely, but seriously, you've got to have faith in it. I suggested the Game Universes about a year ago... What was added recently? :D |

| I agree with everything except the 2 years or more it should just be 1 year. And make it 200 forum posts. |

I bet you put 3 years instead of 2 years because you wanted to qualify for it immediately.
pls |

So at the minute, does everyone agree this works?
• The account has been on ROBLOX for a year or longer • The account has 300+ Forum Posts • The account has a place which has 2000+ visits • That same place must have 50+ likes • The account must have played 50+ hours on Games. |

No. There should be no type of 'free bc' at all. Paid membership is paid membership.

It's a pretty nice idea. If people had a little bit more then NBC they would be able to go a little father. But not a BC.
BC is something I believe it I support Roblox and have paid to keep it going.
Developer account, not really ether. I could be a NBC get VBC (or what ever we call it) and not be a dev. Just a dedicated Robloxian.
But I think this idea can go far. Maybe even more then one just for vets? (Heavy scriptwriters, popular game makers ect.)
But I do support. Hope roblox takes something away the idea, we support them. ANd not trying to grab. But I dislike its the BCs! And then the NBCs..... Why not other kind of people too? (I have no idea what they would be) |

wow
stupid reposted and made it a petition
parametres are very unsmatr
Delevoper's Club's name sounds better than "BC", therefore should not be made into a membership inferior to BC.
are these one-liners yet? repost stupid is excessive amount of opinions, ya?
S-Matter.
the name "Delevopers' Club" sounds drastically different from "BC"
don't we have anti-signs?
---- IMPORTANT OPINION BELOW How could anyone who spends too much time on a single website and doesn't make a single cent off of it actually be poor? Wouldn't they be hard doing actual work, begging for food, or being a debt slave? ---- IMPORTANT OPINION ABOVE |

Thanks guys for the feedback.
I do now understand that you don't like it being named BC. I, myself, think that DM (Developer's Membership) sounds better.
Also, let's change some of the ideas. What if we only gave a DM account access to the actual Game Stuff, such as Game Passes, Mega Places etc. and didn't give them the opportunity to create groups? Please don't suggest that they shouldn't earn Robux. They need to earn at least a small amount, so that they can afford to use BC tools. |

Not a bad idea, however, you need to add more restrictive restrictions. Good Suggestion, but it is never going to happen :/

I get people's point about how it's never going to happen, but you guys like the idea. ROBLOX needs money to keep going, so they probably wouldn't do it.
However, if the restrictions are quite hard to pass, they would probably add the idea to the site. That way it's not everyone with a Veteran account getting it. It's hardworking Robloxians who are dedicated to the site... |

How about:
• The account has been on ROBLOX for 2 years or longer • The account has 1000 Forum Posts • The account has a place which has 5000+ visits • That same place must have 100 likes • The account must have played 300+ hours on Games. • You must have earned 10,000 Robux and 100,000 Tickets over all. |
