Places shouldnt be allowed to sell Player Points. The point of Player Points from the beginning was for developers to award them for playing games, but if Player Points can be purchases, it really just turns Player Points into some sort of commodity.


Something Roblox can do to prevent Player Point Purchases is by changing the mechanics. Rather than player points being available for distributed to who ever the developer wants, it should work the same way as badges...The game autodistributes points to players who hit a certain target or achievement. The target and achievement can be set by developers.

Ya thats the point, Player Points have no value currently because its in the beta period. Things will start changing when this feature becomes a real thing with benefits.


This is straight from Roblox's Blog:
With summer almost upon us, we’ve got a ton of new and exciting announcements to make in regards to Player Points, and the very way the ROBLOX economy and ecosystem functions.

If Roblox Changes it up on us and makes PP value...We (legit game developers) will be forced to compete with all these silly PP stores who monopolize on the profits.

I believe eventually they may act as a currency, so places selling them would be banned.

I would say its a community based argument :P And I don't think the Roblox Developers are that insolent.


I highlighted a problem that a majority of the community would agree with, and then I offered a solution that can prevent such problem.

Get out, this is fair. Alright? Buying player points is fair and square. If you can talk of the forums fair and squarely, then we can make places where you can buy player points. DEAL WITH IT.

the point of player points (pun intended) was for game developers to give them out for achievements

the people with the most points will not be the most skilled, just the most wealthy

it's just another thing for the wealthy people on roblox to rule and destroy, kind of like real life

The point of Player Point IS NOT to create a new genre of games with NO GAMEPLAY except a silly gui that lets you purchase P.P. These games take away space from original and high quality games from surfacing on the front page.

Likewise, Player Point Stores dont really make sense from a Roblox Corporation Perspective either. It would waste their server space, and require plenty of their computational power. If Roblox wanted PPs to be sold, they can create a store of their own on the website, and players can buy them like they do Robux.

I know, people (Player point store creators) are smart in the sense that they know people will buy them, and they get A-LOT of profit from it.

Before you know it, there is going to be a "buy player point" option, right next to the buy "robux option"

@Divy
1.
You aren't our parent, so you don't have rights to get these games banned.
2.
We never said these games with these so called "silly" GUIs are games where you RP/Build/Create or anything, idiot.
3.
Drop this thread into the trash, it's a waste of the forums.

All of the arguments you just posted are invalid because you barely read what he posted.
1. He doesn't have a right to ban these games, but he does have a right to post his opinion on this topic, which he did
2. He never said that you said that they are games that you Rp/build/create etc, he said that it would create a new genre
3. No it isn't. He has a valid point that you are too stubborn to accept.

I agree with this thread because I know that the devs originally wanted them to be earned. They never considered selling them a good thing. People who make player point stores are just trying to get quick cash like false thumbnailers, putting them just as low.

Its kindof ridiculous how some people made more than 40k ROBUX from just selling Player Points.

it's isn't their fault that we were to slow to exploit this newly found resource, player points are for the idiots of roblox. let them have it as a lesson. nothing is learned if there are no mistakes made.
