Dear ROBLOX,

Listen to my wisdom, as I speak as a whole for the community.
Price floors.
Why.
Please, why.
As I normally judge ideas in the suggestions thread, I list pros and come of the idea and judge based on that and also to let people give support or no support below based on the facts.
Pros:
ROBLOX will get more people to buy BC, thus gaining more money, but even at that it makes ROBLOX sound greedy.
Cons:
It supports piracy even MORE by someone being able to get BC then just copy and upload the shirt for FREE.
Almost No one likes the floors, and many people left ROBLOX in outrage. It was even worse than when BC only games were added.
Noobs (we were all one once) have to wait at nearly a MONTH to get even a half decent outfit.
It's ridiculous to have shirts nearly 10x the average cost before floors.
The ROBLOX economy is going though record levels of inflation, with nearly 30 Tix per 1 ROBUX.
The fact that the blog said it would reward sellers. Most players on ROBLOX are non-playing new players. And I already covered noobs.
That fact that the blog also said it would increase the quality of items sold. But, the same ODing tshirts and pants are still being sold.
That I've been able to think of 7(/8) different things wrong with this update.

Personally, I think this is the WORST update that ROBLOX has ever had. I nearly quit that sad day, and many did. In my opinion, REMOVE THE FLOORS. PLEASE.
Please express your support (or criticism, but I doubt there will be any) in the comments below.
P.S. I did read the entire Blog post, so don't criticize me for that.

Support, as usual.

But, I must warn you, the Price Floor Supporters (the criticism) will hunt you down. Trust me, I tank them on a regular basis.

They have an entitlement complex (The trope Word of God can flip back and forth, they believe that it will stay forever and ever despite sarcasm when describing it) and they are not afraid to use it.

I half support and half dont. The thing I actually think the price floor helped is to fund the site. And I guess people can copy the shirts, but they look AWFUL on your character because they need to stretch out the template, and most shirts have pictures, making it look bad.

And the bad thing about this update is that literally EVERYONE looks the exact same. Literally. I guess I wouldn't care about how I look (I don't even have pants, they're just legs coloured black) but I guess others do. In my opinion, I think the price floor helped ROBLOX fund the site, but it made everyone on ROBLOX look like noobs.

So pretty much, they are never gonna take off this price floor due to the fund the site needs, but it made ROBLOX a worse place. I'm lucky I bought a lot of clothes before the price floor... ON MY ALT! My alt got hacked, and I'm going to try and get it banned. So yeah, I'm going to say I think it's good for ROBLOX so they get the funds, and also awful.

And about the copying shirts thing... Well, people need to BUY BC to make shirts, so I guess ROBLOX gets money out of it either way.

Thanks for reading the longest reply ever, lol.

I fully support getting rid of the price floors, why?

> Harder for players to build up a decent account.

> Unfair for the sellers in some respects such as, People not wanting to pay that much for a Shirt/Pants.

> Uniforms for games and groups will have raised prices and starters will have trouble getting into groups.

> Discrimination, Players with older accounts will see players with no clothing (other than the bloxxer T-shirt maybe) and might treat them badly or not want to hang around with them. This should be a friendly environment for all skill levels.

> Inflation of the Trade Currency.

> Makes piracy a more common thing.

Now before I say my next point I just want to point out a few things about it, This is a far stretch for a point, this is my opinion and it came into my head as I was writing this and yes I have no evidence to support this claim. So please, if you disagree with it politely say that you don't and state why (if you wish to) and don't try to be a keyboard warrior. Now onto my point.

> These price floors restrict creativity, people will see the best selling Shirts/Pants (that mostly look the same) and try to mimic them in their own design because they think that if they try to do anything other than the standard they will not sell anything, because people don't want to spend 10 Robux or 100 tickets on a Shirt/Pants that they are not too sure about. So therefore people will just copy the standard.

It really depends what thread that was about, because something like price floors would not really effect IN-GAME game play ( Like on somebody's game ) other than like I stated before: groups and social issues.

As much as I hate the price floor, I'm almost certain they won't remove it. If roblox wants to believe this is actually helpful to us as well as them, they won't change their minds. It's happened before, and it'll surely happen again.

We may not like it, but as long as it isn't replaced by anything else that could be better it will not happen.

As long we complain about the price floor, ROBLOX will think we are speaking another language.

ROBLOX needs the money to fund the site, so they're not removing it. Look, the price floor's a female dog, but ROBLOX needs it for the site. So seriously, you need to stop complaining, because if they make it back to 1 robux or 10 tix, that's the end of the site.

I've already replied to enough of these threads with explanations that I really don't care about giving them anymore (since nobody listens), so I'll stick to the short and sweet version that anyone can follow.

"Go cry somewhere else"

As DataStore wisely put it, go cry somewhere else. Preferably OT, as RT doesn't deserve the torture of your spam.

It's not happening anyways. My siggy link, the January BLOXCast, and other resources have confirmed this. Please allow the limited room on the front page of S&I to be filled with suggestions and ideas that have a chance of success.

Besides, no one person has the right to "speak as a whole for the community".

Told you OP, they will hunt you down.

@trogyssy

You do realize Word of God is human? That they can flip between moods and decisions at will?

The "set in stone" talk was to dissuade the protesters, but it didn't work.
