note: English is not actually my primary language,pls do not complain wrong grammar

roblox is being rich,it is time to make a loss-year once.
this is a problem if keep earning even roblox need to pay for the host,roblox should allow everyone to use the devex,it can increase the the roblox popularity.continue to earn is a hurt to the everyone.

suggestion:
1.devex for everyone to use.(so more successful nbc developer comes out,they will get their own first income,they would be glee about getting the first earning.)
2.destroy the price floor(because of a lot of people hate the price floor and wanted to remove it.)
3.lower the market fee to 5%(it is enough,higher price floor will need to nbc harder to get money.)

1. I actually can't find a valid reason not to allow everyone to use DevEx. If you think about it, anyone who is capable of building a great place can just pay for OBC with the DevEx money. If they buy OBC for a month, and then sucessfully use DevEx, then Roblox didn't make any money whatsoever, at least from that person who bought bc using the DevEx money.

2. That is not a valid reason to remove the price floor, and no matter what, it will take ten days to save up enough tickets to buy a shirt if it's cheap enough. However, since tix is now at a rate of 1:21 (robux being on the left), we can lower the robux part of the price floor as it is now quite rediculous to buy anything with robux. Also, i'm pretty sure that the developers are never going to remove the price floor, so just drop it.

3. A lowered market fee would be nice. 30% is actually quite a rediculous tax. I don't know why it's that high. Increasing the amount of robux in circulation would actually help the value of tickets, since the average value of robux would lower, causing tix's value relative to robux to increase. 5% is a little low though, I would go for 15%.

to gran,
1.the nbc people can choose an option of the first time using devex,
-1 year OBC and US$50
-complete US$200.

2.waiting 10 days is a really long time to some people who cannot afford it.roblox is a money hungry game (someone told me this.).they just want people to buy robux or bc,people complain them. i hate some of the update like price floor,bc-only features,etc.

roblox is HORRIBLE if un allow everyone to use devex .-.

Just because someone told you that Roblox is money hungry doesn't mean that they are. It's a misconception based on greedy users. What Roblox offers for free is more than nearly every free-to-play game out there. 10 days might be a long time to some people, but you don't even have to work for it; you just need to log in. In contrast, other free-to-play games require even longer to get items, many items can't be gotten unless you buy, balance is broken between paying and free users and more. Roblox is actually very generous with what free players have.

once again, if roblox still make the update that attract people to buy bc, more unfairness occur.
this is also a problem but roblox might not actually handled it.

You do know you don't want ROBLOX to have a loss year, right?
However, I agree: ROBLOX should let everyone use DevEx. It's not like your going to have a few $100,000 ROBUX laying around, right?

Original Post Grammar Corrections (So some people can read)

note: English is not my primary language, pls do not complain about my bad grammar

roblox is rich, it is time to make a loss for once.
This is a problem if they keep earning even roblox need to pay for the servers, roblox should allow everyone to use devex, it could increase the the popularity of roblox. If they continue to earn it affects everyone.

suggestion:
1.devex for everyone to use. (So more successful nbc developer comes out, they will get their first wage, they would be happy about getting their first wage.)
2. destroy the price floor (because of a lot of people hate the price floor and wanted to remove it.)
3. lower the market fee to 5%(it is enough, higher price floor will lead to NBC's inability to get money.)

If someone has 100k R$ to cash out, they can do something to get $20 to spend on 1 month OBC and then cash-out, making a profit of $180 with the lowest cash-out.

All horrible ideas for roblox

1. Roblox would lose money, NBC make $ and buy BC. Basicly getting benifits for free.
2. A message to all you price floor haters, courtesy of the ROBLOX mods: youtu.be/NPlXc7h5z4M Plus the price floor encourages NBCers to play longer to get their daily login tix and save up. Though it is a BIT high.
3. Lowering the market fee would be very nice, 5% is a little low and roblox would lose $ as well. 25-20% Seems better, so roblox wont lose money and robloxians can be happy it was lowered a bit.

I support the idea of DevEx being for everyone since it would help more developers buy BC (It's easy to set up a PayPal account, but it's not easy to set up a credit card account.) I also think marketplace fee should be lowered to 10% to help developers make more money with sales (but 5% is just a little too low.)

However, removing the price floor... just doesn't seem right to me. Shirts & pants are still way cheaper than decent hats, plus previously people who just made shirts as a hobby (who may spend 10 minutes on a piece) were pushing higher quality shirt makers out of the marketplace. (People making shirts for the money might spend hours on a piece because they know it'll benefit them.) It was all an effort to populate ROBLOX with better clothes and undoing it would mean the lower quality, hobby made shirts would beat the high quality, for profit ones again.

Everyone can use DevEx = No more NBCers = ROBLOX is a pay to play website

@lottery
Why do you want roblox to lose money?
Thats bad.
Could make market price higher
Or price floor higher
Or more inflation
to make up for the lost money

ROBLOX isn't losing money.

ROBLOX is never losing money.

By my calculations, the amount of money they get is absurdly high (- taxes and expenses)

but i haven't showed you my calculations

Most developers on ROBLOX are very talented teenagers. At most ages, you can't set up a credit card account and ROBLOX credit cannot buy OBC, plus your parents will probably think it's a scam if you can put in $20 then get out more.

So when a developer cannot get BC, what happens?

He/she is limited to making only one game.
He/she will have trouble monetising his/her game.
He/she will be unrewarded for his/her efforts.

@DR "Roblox would lose money, NBC make $ and buy BC. Basicly getting benifits for free."
You've got a flaw in that logic.
Right at the start.
"NBC make $"
They need rewarding for that, because making 100,000 R$ usually requires a game. I remember once ROBLOX said "In a sense, we're hiring you all to make games."
So you're basically saying "NBC would take this paid job of creating a game and buy BC. Basically getting the benefits for free."

Heck, I don't know why DevEx wasn't for everyone from the start! The only hurdle should be developing the successful game, not finding a way to buy OBC.

Even then roblox would lose money. If NBC use DevEx, they'll buy BC and have the chance to make more money and eventually make a lot more money to a point where roblox would lose money, which roblox doesnt want.

Plus you can always buy a 10$ roblox card at a walmart.

Roblox's goal is to make money, not lose it.
And they'll make this money even if it'll make the people unhappy.

Most of roblox's population live in the united states (as far as im aware)
Better for roblox to sell these cards in where the majority of their players live instead of where rarely any players live.

buy an itunes gift card,
and buy BC on there.
