(This isn't necessarily an idea for ROBLOX, but I've just been seeing this happen most in this forum, so I decided to post it here.)

Alright, so I have noticed recently that a lot of NBCers (and some BCers/TBCers/OBCers) have requested that ROBLOX give NBC more rights.
However, this is something that should not be done. Want to know why?
Think of it like this:
NBC is like the demo-version of a video game.
You get to try out certain features, and if you really like the game from what you've played, bam! You can buy the game to really, fully experience the whole game.
People asking for more rights for NBC is like asking for a game demo with most of the game in the demo.
Why would you want to buy the game, if you could play the FREE demo, that has pretty much most of the features?
You wouldn't want to. You would just play the demo, right?
That is why NBC shouldn't get any more rights.
If NBC had a lot of rights, then what would the point of buying BC be? If no one was buying BC/TBC/OBC, then ROBLOX would eventually be getting less and less money.
Eventually, the website would have to shut down.

So, please... just stop asking for more rights. You aren't going to get any more than you already have now. (In fact, you should be grateful that you are even able to play this game for free!)

TL;DR
More rights = less BC bought = less money for ROBLOX to spend on the site = goodbye ROBLOX!

Alright, I'm done. Feel free to ignore this, I just wanted to post my thoughts..

You sir, have some serious troubles. ROBLOX makes around $50K A DAY, and that's pretty much enough to pay for all their bills.

Or, you could say that 'Roblox' chooses, not the community.

That's to say, Roblox chooses, the community influence.

@nathan

ROBLOX wouldn't be able to make £50K a day or whatever without people purchasing BC for the extra rights or even ROBUX, for that matter.

I totally agree with Ryne. What's the point of BC if NBCs get more?

The point of BC is to ignite your experience on ROBLOX, without it:

1. ROBLOX would be quite dull and there might've be quite a lot of complainers.
2. ROBLOX would've probably been shut down before or after early development because they didn't have a method to pay company fees, which can be in the freaking thouands.

And I have another point. Usually the reason why NBCs complain that they get less than BC members because they're greedy. And very, very dumb, in my opinion. Why should they get more? BC members paid, they didn't.

So NBCs, if you want to ignite your experience, go to your parents and ask them to
get you at least monthly BC, which is $5 dollars in America (I see too many people from America thats why :P)

...Where do you think they get that "50k" a day from?
They get it from people buying BC/TBC/OBC.
As well as buying ROBUX, which you wouldn't need to buy if NBC just got 5 robux for simply LOGGING IN everyday. That would add up fast.

Heh, coming from a BCer.

I'm an ex-OBCer on my main, and I don't agree that ROBLOX needs to make so many expensive items.

Anyone who says ANYTHING along the lines of the quote above on BC-NBC threads should just be quiet. Seriously.

Agree. Im a NBC, and I dont complain (I only complain about hackers and noobs). I am SICK if NBC rights activists. They call ROBLOX greedy, but your'e right. They are the ones who is greedy (or they don't have money or their parents dont wanna buy BC). So, bump!

If NBCers cant get any more rights, then how about stop giving BCers EVEN MORE RIGHTS. That would make it fair, it wouldn't decrease the amount of people who buy BC, and once again it will all be fair.

@scrin

That wouldn't decrease the amount of BC buyers at all.
It would make it fair, and BCers already have enough.
They're allowed to make 20+ player servers, non-group clothing, and heck even groups and badges.

Giving them more rights is like giving them admin privileges, but without the banning option.

But if you have these features, it reduces the need to buy BC in the first place.

Too bad that you can't understand the fact that BCers 'contributed' to the game. By reward, they gain these 'priviledges'.

Except by your definition, you're 'Racist' yourself.

Basically:
NBCers have everything they need to play and make places, forum, get rich through places developing and/or TCing and buy things using money from that.
BC quickly gives you the things you need to brag to people.
(And OBC gives you the thing needed for using ROBLOX as an income source)

And also, here is more explanation for NBC's not having rights

Roblox, when you boil it all down, is a BUISNESS. They can do whatever they want, they can make this game pay to play and suck all your money dry if you are willing to pay.
Roblox is NOT a SERVICE, which is intended to please customers.

The idea of a buisness is to make money (revenue), pay off your deductions for staff, servers, equipment, etc., and hope you earn something called profit which depends on how much revenue you make.

Don't act like every single buisness is 100% profit, it never is, unless you are breaking every single trade law in the world. If anything, most businesses are lucky to make off with 10% profit from revenue.


You do not earn much from advertisements on websites. You do not even earn money just from the advertisement being there! You ONLY earn money when people CLICK on the advertisement, of course it may not be the case with ROBLOX because of the contracts we do not know about and we are not entitled to know about them, but the money is not nearly enough to support a company like roblox. Therefore they must give some form of package, in roblox's case, a subscription premium. They get more because they help fund the company and give them enough revenue to make it through.

The question is, how do they make the builders club a Premium membership? They have two options.
1. Create new features and only give them to the premium subscribers
2. Restrict features from free users.

Roblox clearly used a mix, but closer to option #2.
The thing about option number two is, if they suddenly let the free user get features that the premium user has, they must devalue the premium user features because you don't get the same amount.

Of course, they do have the option to keep it the same, but if they put too much, premium users then complain that they don't earn anything for helping the company.

Other sources of money come from sponsors, which are the 1 tix gears and hats with branded names, and they then make money based on how many people buy it. You can make a little bit extra on that.


Along with the argument that the staff getting paid are only using it to buy fancy cars and huge houses and what not, they are still using money for further development, even if the recent updates were not as good as we hoped, it is a sign that they are still using the money.

Updates require hardware for the staff to work on, software for the staff to create and manipulate and write everything about the game engine and the website, and you then must pay the staff on man hours for their work.

No, they don't get paid minimum wages unless every single person on the development team is an objector, the development team has the IGDA and other unions behind them for working conditions and fair pay.


Now it goes back to the free users. After seeing how much they have to pay, exact numbers regardless, who are YOU to think that you deserve more just because you use the service and are part of the community? You only serve as money from advertisements if you actually click on the ads, and as marketing for your friends to start playing on it.(Along with that, that is why you earn money from referrals when your friends buy bc with your code).

You are not entitled to anything because you truly do not do anything but suck up resources.


The core basis of roblox is free, games, place making, is free. You can still buy items, it just takes a long time.

If you do it correctly, you can still buy the top-tier items if you work for it.

Roblox is like a f2p, but pay to win kind of deal. It happens alot.


Did you need to pay to create an account?

No.

Do you need to pay to play games?

No.

Do you need to pay to update your status, change your blurb, or even write this forum post?

No.

Hats, gear, clothing, and all of the above are for PAYING customers who fund Roblox with their business.

Do you have any idea how much it costs to pay moderators, service equipment, and developers?

BC is $5.
That's not a lot of money.
Stop complaining.
