ROBLOX has been online for 8 years. During the past few years, ROBLOX has neared away from its old style, and started focusing on "developing". Thus ignoring a lot of issues they used to focus on. Here are some of these things they should improve on:
1-Online Dating: ROBLOX used to really crack down on this issue. Nowadays, they've just neglected it. Games like Complex used to be under severe moderation. Hell, they were even banned. Now in modern ROBLOX, Online Daters have been severely common. I've even seem some sort of "ROBLOX LGBT" that endorses it. Didn't know ROBLOX needed politics.
2-Game Quality: This issue is just annoying. 2013 and early 2014 have been home to some of the worst ROBLOX games in history. In fact, Egg Hunt 2014 was named "The worst egg hunt in ROBLOX history". See, that's because it was an egg HUNT, not an egg DROP. Then "BLOXTober" was just a mistake. Lord knows why they stopped paintball and started hunts. Don't even get me started on the winter games. That received mixed reviews by the players, but mostly negative. Panning the snowball fight was probably the main reason it completely sucked. That, and the only game worth playing was breezekreig. Basically, ROBLOX owes us a Paintball, Egg Drop and PVP tournament.
3-Age Range: This kinda goes both ways, but its still noticeable. ROBLOX was originally aimed towards the 10-17 age group from 2006-2011. Then they toned it down to 10 and under from 2012 until now. This is for reasons unknown. I didn't know 7 year olds were capable of "developing". That and the fact they've been making the style more cartoon like than block like. This of course, leaves the oldr age group in the dust with nothing to do. With restrictions on what we can and cant do, it kind of eliminates the point of trying. Dumb restrictions to be honest. "No blood or gore" yet they allow a script that when you die, blood appears. "Nothing that wouldn't appear in a G rated movie" Don't even get me started. These aren't just the decal guidelines, these are the community guidelines.
4-Updates: ROBLOX updates have really gone down hill as of late. Many builders, such as I, who have been on the site for a while, are noticing how hard it is to do stuff we used to do. The dynamic lighting update was pretty good, until they started updating studio once a month. Adding in stuff that just lag bombs your server, and are severely unneeded. Not bashing the animation editor or anything, but dumb updates like "Studio 2014" which just organizes your studio and hides most of its old features.
5-Economy: ROBLOX economy is a very important need that has to be fixed this year. Or at least, provide what caused them to do it in the first place. They lowered the value of tickets, which in turn made the value of ROBUX higher. Now with pants and shirts costing 100 tickets each, having 200 tickets can't get you as far as it used to. 200 tickets used to be 20 robux. Now its around 15 to 17. Pretty large margin. One thing that didn't make sense for ROBLOX to say was "clothes makers deserve more income" They flat out lied on that one. Clothes makers only earn around 10%. So there really is no difference in ROBLOX even making it 100 tickets, if they only earn 10 tickets. They used to earn 10 tickets to begin with. So what the hell is the point of even making it this way?
6-Dev Ex: Dev Ex isn't exactly what it seems. ROBLOX portrays it as "You make a game, you get money". This is actually just taken out of contect. Dev Ex actually only gives you a certain amount of money through pay pal. If you make 200 dollars, ROBLOX gets about 10% of that. So now you got 180. Not that bad. Tax is 6 or 7 cents out of every dollar. Now you don't got that much. Not to mention you can only cash out at certain intervals. So you only get payed if you cash out 1,000,000 robux. Not to mention you have to buy OBC, ROBLOX most expensive membership, that is about 30 bucks a month. Not to mention you need a famous game to make it. So you don't really earn your money back.
7-Body Meshes: ROBLOX has really gone nuts with body meshes. Their 3.0 body mesh draws a TON of criticism. Not only because you look dumber than Pee Wee Herman, you look like some sort of hybrid remake of Madonna. There really is no call for 3.0. Not to mention the outrageous price for them is ridiculous. So that pretty much lowers the value of robux too. Why did ROBLOX ditch blocks to begin with?
8-Exploiting: The downside of being good at scripting is the fact you know how to exploit. ROBLOX thought they got a victory by completely patching the ROBLOX cheat engine, but this awoke a new monster. The ROBLOX cheat engine purely ran off of the byte code. Because its pretty much a memory editor, this allowed easy access to edit the amount of robux and tickets you had. But now people have gotten creative and are using professional hacking software's. The most common are Cain and Abel which are used at the group recruiting plaza. Another non issue is walking through walls. ROBLOX really needs to focus on building a better defense.
9-Contests: This one is something we all miss. Classic ROBLOX building contests. ROBLOX hasn't done one of these since Level Up. This used to allow everyone a fare chance at earning some special hats. ROBLOX has kind of done away with something that was favored by all. Its been 3 years since the last one. That is WAY too long in my opinion. ROBLOX should consider doing some monthly contests.
10-Theme: ROBLOX theme is the final issue. You can't spell ROBLOX without BLOX. I know I've stated this before, but its supposed to be about blocks. I mean you start off as a block figure, then you have 3.0 which are the new modern designs of ROBLOX characters. ROBLOX should just stick with ROBLOx being strictly about blocks. I mean seriously. You have the iconic characters like ROBLOX Zombies, Noobs and guests. They were all blocks. Now their changing that. Stick with the blocks.

#2 They only did a paintball game for Halloween once (2009 was it?) Hunts are the norm. #9 Everyone hated those contests. The only thing any of the winners ever did was throw some free models together and get a good thumbnail because the voting process was just awful. The hats were nice though. |

Why are there even G-Mod Murder games on here? If someone wanted to play G-Mod Murder, they'd get Murder and play it there! Also, plagiarism. Although you could see it as a kid testing his game creating abilities. |

"See, that's because it was an egg HUNT, not an egg DROP."
even though this thread is off topic, it hasn't been an egg drop since 2011, so your point is...? |
