Hello, thanks for clicking on this post.

Nikilis, creator of the hit game Murder Mystery, has over 11,000,000 place visits. OK. He got 11,000,000 tix, or about 550,000 robux. Pretty good.
Papermousee, creator of the pink "LOVE" sweater has over 179,000 buys. With current price floors, and subtracting at least 20,000 buys for current price floors, she made 11,130,000 tix or about 556,500 robux.


Clothing purchases are rapidly catching up to place visits.

Although this is not 100% accurate, it's pretty close. Sure, Nikilis may have made more with game passes, but Papermousee likely made a lot from users clicking through her inventory and ultimately seeing more clothing they like. They will repetitively go back to her inventory.

Developing a game or even a new update often takes longer than making an item of clothing. Why are developers getting the shorter straw and getting less for harder work?
Yes, I know making clothing can be difficult, but definitely not as difficult as learning how to script, advertise, build, C-frame, promote and keep a front page game running for over a month.

Thank you for taking the time to read this post.

5 reasons why my argument shoots down this post.

1). Price Floor was indeed user suggested, It rewards clothing makers.

2). Price Floor helps Tix Inflation.

3.) ROBLOX needs money to run servers. Does no one get that!

4.) If you hate it so much, just leave.

5.) It ain't leaving anytime soon.

A lot of people hated the price floor when it was done suddenly, but people got used to it nowadays. It's done. Can't be changed because I love how ROBLOX is greedy.

@OP

I don't see why clothing catching up with game places a problem. Nikilis certainly doesn't, and other people just don't care. I admire your research, but clothing vs. places don't really matter to consumers OR game creators, because it's not their area of expertise, and if someone IN that expertise makes more money, it doesn't really affect anything in their game, does it?

If people want to go for games (a more tedious task) for profit, it's their choice. If people choose clothing (less tedious task), again, it's their choice. In al sincerity, profit doesn't matter when you are doing what you love.

@lottery

It does profit them, because now they have an excuse to have high prices (in terms of TIX/Tickets) instead of earlier, when people wouldn't buy an item of clothing if it exceeded the price of 20 ROBUX/100 TIX.

"roblox scams money"

I fail to see how ROBLOX staff has a use for virtual currency.

Nililis added developer products in his game which totals more than 2 million robux.Clothing designers get less than that.If anything we should increase the price floor not the opposite.
