Take a look at the catalog. Thousands of hats, a buttload of gear, and even a few packages scattered here and there. Then, using the wayback machine, go back to 09. There's a lot less stuff, right? But how many of those items look like things you'd like? A LOT! They're all creative and funny in their own ways. Many of them can be purchased in tickets, not just robux. Now flip back to today's catalog. There's a lot of... um.. hair. And retextures. Ugh, everythings so bland and uncreative. The few items you like are either old or extremely expensive. But why have they stopped making great items everyone will love?

Roblox is taking a very major turn. This website has turned from a game to a product. I recently attended the Blox Faire in SanFran, and those who were working at the booth were told to advertise Roblox as a "Product." This is not where the company should be going in my opinion. Sure, game development has drastically improved. I applaud them for making the changes necessary for the improvement. But do you really see Roblox becoming as powerful as STEAM? NO! Of course not! Making such a comparison is just RIDICULOUS. Roblox makes outrageous claims, saying that they get more players than Dota 2 and CS:GO. They forget to mention that those are both 2 games within Steam, which houses 1000s of games. But they seem to have convinced themselves they can compete.

Getting back on topic, how does this concern the trading community? Well, first off, no good items = nothing new to trade. This will cause inflation because no money is entering the economy. Secondly, Roblox is too concerned chasing a dream that is way too far out there to make any attempt at updating trading, buying, and selling. They have priorities, and the major objective among these is turning Roblox into a product. They are neglecting the trade community. Wonder why they make so much hair and so many generic hats? It will sell and it's easy to make. Anyone with any knowledge of 3d modelling software can make a top hat. Based on the new character models shown off on the bloxcon, it looks like these crappy hats will continue to be made.

And finally, the 3rd and most important reason: Hats may be discontinued. Or at least limiteds. Why? Many developers make their own customization menus. "Why buy rare hats when you cant use them in your favorite games?" employees may be thinking. If Roblox pushes game development too far, games will become isolated from the site, and soon Roblox will just be a toned down version of steam for inexperienced devs. I really hope this won't happen, because it will certainly be the end of limiteds, gear, and many other customization features.

Thanks for reading, and remember, this is just an opinion. If you too are concerned about the direction this site is heading, please share this with a friend. Hopefully someone who works for Roblox will read this and understand our concerns.

no but really I did read it

I honestly think you're thinking it too far, yet I see what you mean. Notice how ROBLOX is growing in players, and lots of us have realized roblox is taking a very wrong turn. If that comes to be, many players will be moving on and realizing roblox is no longer a successful game. The devs can take whatever turn they want, but if they take the wrong turn it'll drive the players away.

@Half

Yes, I realize that, but I couldn't tie things together while keeping it relatively short. I could go into more detail and prove some of the points with more well thought out explanations but for the sake of keeping it from being "tldr" i just didn't.

The most major thing in my eyes is usernames. 40 million+ usernames are in place and are running out. Also inflation is already occurring and you can see that clearly.

Inflation is happening because nothing new is coming in! Only one major limited has come out this year (Dominus).
