Ok, so ROBLOX is all for expanding the realism of economy and whatnot, so why not add that? Besides, the current economy is wounded, so this could increase it's success again.
Ok, so investments. Developers or creators of clothing and places can choose to retail any percentage of shares of their items/places to the public. Based on its popularity and consistency, each share would depict a different value. Once people begin investing, they can wait until any time. If the item increases in success, the shares are worth more, investors can sell their shares, and profit.
However, it comes with risks - just like the real world. If the success rates remain the same, or even drop - the investor will lose money upon pulling out.
The only con I can think of is groups of players sabotaging the success of certain items/places so they can profit the most - but that would take brutal effort.
Thanks for reading! |

TL;DR version: Investments on places, clothing (maybe more) to improve ROBLOX's economy and an alternative for profiting. However, just the real world, investing is mostly risky, as losing money is common.
Read OP for more details above. |

| Is this thread unpopular because a majority of S&I doesn't know what stocks are? |

Quite a good idea. Buy low, sell high turns into profit.

I also think that groups should be able to buy investments, and groups becoming investable and make it so that you could do this: VAK issues stock, for 10 robux a share and they have 900 shares., and FEAR, trying to get control, buys 500 shares, which makes FEAR dominant. This will add a question mark sign at the bottom, which would say "Controlled by FEAR" But then, Vak starts losing. FEAR needs to get out, fast! They sell their shares, and they make about 5000 robux. Clans would issue more, for a higher price, do make it less easy to dominate.
Player owned exchanges! Players could own stock exchanges, if they had OBC, and they would be able to A. Have a nice stock exchange B. Be able to go through their market slipping.
Mutual Funds! This would allow players to create their own mutual funds, which are sets of stocks that are placed together, and sold. |

I will need to find the Apple of Roblox when they add this feature.

| It would require the reworking of the entire economy. Plus, it would make it easier to be successful without the work. One thing that is always suggested is group types - There would be a type that sells clothing, like kestrel, and you could invest in those types. There would also be designated war groups, and fan groups. This idea has been suggested many times and roblox probably is drawing concepts or just throwing it out entirely. |

| What about remove the economy all together? The roconomy is whole reason why the catalog is a messed up place anyway. Take down LMAD while you're at it. |

Tery, I doubt if a stock-market were implemented, ROBLOX would allow millions of alts to manipulate the inflation.
I think you'd require BC, or account verification in order to invest in the stock market. |

Leuma, I personally belive that this update would actually unify the shattered, wounded economy of ROBLOX.
I mean, you could invest in Catalog items, places, and anything to do with economics.
Also, I don't believe this would make profiting easier, it'll just set the standard of wealth higher. For example, if everyone on Earth was given a million dollars, then price standards would rise because everyone's at the lowest of a million. |

| Basically raise the price of currency. Something good could come out of that, such as make it tix based and deflate some of the inflation caused by previous updates. |

| Support! It will be cool to do so. Also if done so it should allow groups, so it could work like companies. |
