Before we begin, just because I'm BC, doesn't mean I don't know what I'm talking about. A lot of my time spent on ROBLOX was as an NBC.
So, a lot of you may think that ROBLOX is greedy, and just wants money.

First of all, you know your pocket money, yeah? Do you want your pocket money? Yes, you do. Almost all of us want money, because we need money to survive and be comfortable.

Okay, so, ROBLOX doesn't give enough rights to NBCs. Well, yes and no. In fact, we should be grateful that you can even play most of the games on ROBLOX for free, as ROBLOX costs a lot to run.
Anyway.
So, why can't ROBLOX sell more tix hats? Why can't they give us Robux daily? Why can't they make cheaper hats?

Well, hats that require you to pay Robux to buy them are mainly there to encourage you to buy BC.
AAAH! YOU JUST SAID THAT ROBLOX ARE TRYING TO ENCOURAGE YOU TO BUY BC!!! THEREFORE THEY ARE GREEDY!!
Whoa whoa whoa, turn off your caps lock, buddy.
ROBLOX needs money to run the website, advertisements, and most importantly, the servers.

Anyway, back to more NBC rights.
Robux hats are probably somewhat of a "reward" to BC members, even if they do have to pay. NBCs can get Robux, but it's just very difficult to get some - thanks inflation.

"Why can't they give us Robux daily?"
As it would be nice for NBCers to receive Robux on a daily basis, it also discourages them to buy BC. (AAAH ROBLOX IS GREEDY!! No, I already addressed that reason, so hush little child.)
Robux is a more premium currency, so premium users can afford premium hats and clothes and gear.

"Why can't they make cheaper hats?"
Same reason as the others, ROBLOX needs money to survive.

Okay, so if you don't understand why ROBLOX needs money in order for it to continue running, lemme tell you why.

First of all, the website.
They probably have to pay for the website to continue running. Why? Pay for the domain register, pay for servers for their website.

Advertisements.
You probably already realise that advertisements cost money. A lot of money. ROBLOX needs adverts to gain more players.

Outgoing money.
They have to pay rent for their offices, they also need to pay their staff, pay to maintain their equipment, and afford to keep the wonderful DevEx running.

Servers.
Probably one of the most expensive thing to run. Servers are what allows you to play games. Servers are these machines, and it costs a lot of money to buy one, and to run/maintain one. That may be one of the reasons that NBCs only get one active place.

Yeah, not a lot of detail, but that's why ROBLOX aren't so greedy as you may think.

tl;dr version: There isn't one. Read it.

For those saying "tl;dr", it's really not that long. It'll take two minutes max, depending in your reading speed. Probably less than a minute.

They're not.
Roblox has to pay bills too.
And with the new features and live stream equipment, they need to pay for that stuff

I agree but the one dude is right. ROBLOX makes plenty more than they give. But doesn't every single company do that? All companies need extra money in case of anything. But the best thing ROBLOX spends their money on, is not the developers, but FREE FOOD AT THE HQ I NEED TO GO THERE NOW! ;)

@Inno,
Yeah, he was right. But it's not like many companies go around chucking money everywhere.

""Why can't they make cheaper hats?"
Same reason as the others, ROBLOX needs money to survive. "

This is the only statement I disagree with. ROBLOX can make any hat for whatever they price they want, the price of a catalog item does not reflect their financial state. If they wanted to make cheaper hats, they could. If they wanted to make more ticket hats, they could.

@Alex, I don't think I properly explained.

The more expensive the hat, the more people want to buy BC. So, expensive hats = people wanting BC/buying BC = Money.
