Hello, readers. You likely do not know me, so i will not introduce myself. To get straight to the point, ROBLOX has severely altered the system to the degree that anything relatively decent of quality costs thousands of ROBUX. Sometimes, that quality is not even decent for the outrageous asking price. The Domino Crown, for instance. Yes, it is valuable and sought-after, but why does everyone want it? The answer is simple. It has far too low of a quality to be wanted for looking cool, but it has a price so ridiculously high that they could simply sell it and make millions in ROBUX. Plus, if they have OBC, they could simply convert that into thousands of USD for years on end. Also, after the two relatively cheap 4-mil and 69 mil crowns go, the only ones left go for 99,999,999B and higher. Yes, those items are Limited, but lets look at something else for a better example of ROBLOX simply wanting you to buy BC, or ROBUX. A simple flashlight, for 75 ROBUX. Seriously? For a simple flashlight? Also, what does the mere existence of "Paid Access" tell you? If you do not know what Paid Access is, it is essentially you paying the creator to get into his game. The payments must be in ROBUX. Most people
charge around 25 to 35 ROBUX. And even then, without BC, all you have is the shrewd
currency exchange, which currently charges around 22 tickets for 1 ROBUX. So, you would have to SAVE FOR A MONTH to get into one of the LOWER priced games. That pretty much tells me that ROBLOX is trying to make everything cost ROBUX so people will buy it. They screwed up the currency exchange to make people buy BC. Speaking of BC, again, there is a equivalent of paid access. But unlike the other
paid exchange, where you could at LEAST get in without BC, this time ONLY people with BC can get in. Yeah... That kinda says something about ROBLOX, doesnt it? However, the final nail in the coffin filled with rusty iron spikes was "Developer Exchange". Basically, if you have OBC, (Which costs 20 USD a month, mind you), you can exchange ROBUX for cash. That tells me ROBLOX is getting so desperate that they have to PAY people to use their service. What does it tell you? I personally think the only reason ROBLOX has become as moneygrubbing as it has today is because its either A.Dying, or B.Has a greedy new management. What do you think? Reply to this and tell me what you have to say. Signed, coolguy6778

TBH I actually agree with some of this...

ROBLOX: "You can not have guest removing scripts or disallow guests from playing a game"

ROBLOX" Makes BC only places and Paid access

@i7c Yes, but does that mean they have to make everything nearly require a currency you have to pay to get?

Another inconvenient truth is that the title should have 'An' instead of 'A'

For some reason I am finding it so bothering that it will cause my head to explode.

Argh

Why is it so bothering...

Roblox is not greedy, they have many new players so they need more money for servers.

And DevEx, roblox pays players for virtual currency, and paid access usually leads to beta games. And 25R$ is the minimum for it. You're so biased.

Yes. 25R$. Remember when i said that it would take a month of saving to get the tix for that without builders club? And that was the MINIMUM price.

Or C. Needs the money and the players to keep the site running so it won't shut down on us.

Yes, that could be the case also, i admit. But couldn't they simply introduce
higher quality gear that does not cost 75R$ just to work as a flashlight? Higher quality, lower cost = more peeps buying.

@cool


What would you expect it to be? 5 Robux? Seriously, if it was in beta, would you want it being 5 robux so people could just come in, leave and vote down? With 25 robux they would actually test it out instead of just entering and leaving because they paid 5 robux instead of 25.

"ROBLOX has severely altered the system to the degree that anything relatively decent of quality costs thousands of ROBUX."

It depends on what you call decent.
I can make and play a decent game for free, make my own decent shirt and pants for free (NBC? See this: http://www.roblox.com/Groups/group.aspx?gid=1030696)
You can talk to decent people on roblox and fight against decent sword fighters.
There are decent scripters on the scripters forum.

ROBLOX is not greedy, they just love money. They don't force you to pay to play or build.

If you think Roblox is greedy, you see it as an online social hangout. (2009+)
If you don't, you see Roblox as an online building toy. (What it used to be)
