| Hello, I've been a member since 2012 (I think) and I noticed back then that in order to earn one Robux, it was only required to trade 11 tickets to get one Robux. Today, not even 5 minutes ago, I went to trade in my 99 tickets, and I noticed that trading in 99 tickets would not give me 9 robux, instead I only got about half (4 Robux) I did a little further investigating and found out that you need to pay up 23 tickets for 1 Robux, which is over two times the amount it was back in earlier times. This wasn't the first time I noticed the Ticket-Robux trade, last year, I had to trade in 18 tickets for one R. I believe that the Ticket-Robux trading will continue to keep rising upwards. I know Roblox needs to earn money through users clicking advertisements, purchasing Robux etc and etc, because its a business and they need to earn money. But if they keep raising the Ticket-Robux trade then it would encourage people to purchase Robux. But some people either don't have the money, or time to get over to a store to get a Robux card, so they have to rely on the Ticket-Robux, but raising the price is making it harder for some people to purchase stuff, if an item in the catalog cost 25 Robux, you'd have to hand over 575 tickets just to purchase that item. I think if they lowered it back down to its original amount in 2012, which I'll remind you is 11 tickets, people can have an easier time earning stuff, trading in tickets is getting harder and harder, which makes people who don't buy Robux card feeling like an item will take forever to buy, since you'd need to wait 3 days just to save up enough tickets, (10 a day) to get one Robux, which means that in order to earn 10 Robux you'd need to earn 230 tickets, which takes 23 days to get. I'm not sure what else I can add onto this post, but I'm going to leave it as it is for now. |

That's Roblox's attempt at simulating an inflating economy
Which I scoff at |

| I never was on Roblox before 2012, so I never knew what it was like then when it came to currency. I'm just saying that Tickets are starting to become worthless because of Robux value starting to go up, it feels like its going to take forever to afford something. |

| Sorry for all the people who don't have the money to buy any Robux, but the value of Robux went up an extra Ticket. Not that it matters. But I BET you BC members are going to rage at this post. |

| Too bad the rate is never going to decrease due to the new DevEx thing and also due to how ROBLOX wants to earn more money. |

| And here comes the BC people coming into this discussion, sure we can purchase Robux and/or BC online, but DID you bother to read what I typed in? SOME, not ALL people can't afford to purchase BC or Robux, either because their parents wouldn't allow them to, or they just don't have the money. The T-R trade is going up more and more because of the new DevEX. I'm also not accurate on how T-R went back then, as I've only been on here since 2012. I think Non-BC members should take the rising T-R into consideration, since that means they'll have to start shelling out cash to buy stuff. However I am glad to say the R-T has lowered again. You need to take out 21 tickets for 1 robux now, instead of 23. |

| Even if some parent can afford to purchase the kid some Robux, they'd probably only be able to afford a hat, and a shirt. |
