Player Points; an award to Developers for making money off there games and awards to people who buy things.

Player Points have now been around for over 1 month. All in all there has been estimated to be more than 50 Million Player Points since it has become a Beta Feature. Player Points have not yet taken place as an Alpha Feature, but we all know it will soon. But, before it becomes a real feature I would like to share my opinion and many others opinions too.

1. Player Points, is a low-grade idea that try to make people feel more happy about themselves for buying something.

2. Really? As a Developer myself, I can say that if someone buys one of my products, I really would not be happy being awarded with Player Points. I know you still get the cash, but Player Points do nothing. They just sit there with 0 value.

3. Player Points as you can see are being exploited and the Leader boards are showing people with up to 6 Million Player Points. Again, because of them having no value, it worth exactly the same as 1 point or even 0.

4. People are just starting to make places around Player Points. On game-systems, they don't sell games that just give you trophies constantly... Instead in games, to get trophies, you actually have to work for it.

5. This encourages braggers. They try to earn them and then show-off there points. Yet again, it has no value, so really it's nothing cool, it's just making more and more braggers.

6. Player Points don't make anything look cooler, such as games. The game just gets more place visits because of obsessors.

Well I hope that shows you a little bit about it. And now people are about to start arguing about why they want too keep there 1000 worthless Player Points.

The player point system should not be removed. It is, however, an idea that I think hasn't yet lived up to it's true potential. Instead of removing them, Roblox needs to add something that will give them value. Maybe a player points shop? I'm not sure. Keep thinking people.

ROBLOX said on a Blog post that Player Points are not a currency and will not be given value other than appearing on your profile.

Support.
The PP system was a great concept, and simple. Lets players get little gamerscore-like points for yourself and a clan. It also increases the need for buying dev. products. But it didn't work out well. Very few games used it how it was supposed to be used. Most games that used it had some kind of robux-into-point system, which is cheap and dumb.

Maybe spending player points on items? Would that make it less worthless?

Support. Much like Gamer score on Xbox Live, player points only exist to give children a false sense of worth. I don't need numbers in a video game to tell me I'm doing it right.

'Player Points, is a low-grade idea that try to make people feel more happy about themselves for buying something.'
- Player points are made to award players after an achievement. I thought the concept was clear for everybody, seems like it isn't.

'Really? As a Developer myself, I can say that if someone buys one of my products, I really would not be happy being awarded with Player Points. I know you still get the cash, but Player Points do nothing. They just sit there with 0 value.'
- First of all, you are not a real developer, get in RBXDev forums. Next thing, it isn't supposed to be awarded when buying. Two idiots took that in consideration and made Point currencies. That's totally ignorant but people will get over it. Player points shows the difference between an amateur gamer or a normal guy.

'Player Points as you can see are being exploited and the Leader boards are showing people with up to 6 Million Player Points. Again, because of them having no value, it worth exactly the same as 1 point or even 0.'
- The guy with 6M points is a guy that made points out of his game and decided to profit of that. Get over it, stop being jealous. Anyway, he just wanted, in fact, to bring RBXDev (the group) to the first place.

'People are just starting to make places around Player Points. On game-systems, they don't sell games that just give you trophies constantly... Instead in games, to get trophies, you actually have to work for it.'
- We're on a kid game. What happened with the badge? Got badges exploits and such. Don't think everybody's enough mature to make great stuff out of points. Think about it.

'This encourages braggers. They try to earn them and then show-off there points. Yet again, it has no value, so really it's nothing cool, it's just making more and more braggers.'
- Stop going into clubs and roblox crap. Braggers doesn't exist into cool communities.

'Player Points don't make anything look cooler, such as games. The game just gets more place visits because of obsessors.'
- Exactly. What is the objective of roblox? Getting more players, and this is totally normal and isn't any bad. We're trying to make a dream platform for game developers, and points bring players. It's amazing!

Now stop crying like a little kids, points are cool. If you aren't able to earn enough points for yourself, learn to make good games and also check out some marketing stuff. Maybe you'll be able to 'brag' about your points..

"You’ve undoubtedly noticed the inclusion of points (both player points and clan points) on ROBLOX in the last couple of weeks — we’ve released them in beta form to do some intensive testing before releasing them as a full-blown feature on our platform."

"These new offerings have been running in beta mode in order for us to collect data and feedback before they become official ROBLOX features."

- ROBLOX

"How can I spend the Points I’ve earned?

Points are currently meant as a symbol of reputation, not a currency."

ROBLOX, this is crazy. You need to make points a currency now.

Crappy free modeled games that everyone's making to mass produce player points has no meaning, that's no "symbol of reputation"

I really suggest they make Player Points worth something, or get rid of them.


Even if they make them worth something, that won't stop the massive amount of terrible games that everyone's flocking to so they can get player points.

They need to get rid of them.

I just been scammed because of trusting people that i could buy player point but i got completely nothing after.
Also, player point is one of the way that people could try to scam money, obc player can even cash out through developer exchange, because no refund.

7Diemensions, it shows that you are a heavy supporter of Player Points and won't dislike it. By the way, I am a developer, and I am thinking about talking to RBXDev.

No support.

Why would you want to remove them? The main purpose of player points are to show people the reputation of their skill in games.

Also, if you read the blog, they said they are going to reset the pp 1 more time to mark the release of pp.

You can't change their minds.

No reputation in how good you are at Cookie Clicker. Or how good at killing 1 person for 100 Player points
