For the longest time, the Trade Currency has been in the dumps. I haven't seen the spread go into the positives for over a year now, making it near impossible to make any profit off of the 10 daily tix. My suggestion is to make some changes to either the TC or the website as a whole. I have some suggestions.
1. Occasional influx of currency into the system When I say this, I mean the website itself should input Robux into the system. With ROBLOX's ever-growing community and catalog, occasional influx shouldn't cause too much inflation. And because of this, Robux will become less rare, and therefore will make the conversion rate better, leading into my next suggestion...
2. Change the Tix to Robux conversion rate. When I say this, I don't mean change it to something irrational like 1-1, just something more feasible as to make it possible for any person who wants to buy something expensive to actually do it. It is near impossible these days to buy anything without paying* for ROBUX, which isn't really a required thing these days for ROBLOX to stay up.
3. Make more ROBLOX catalog items buyable with Tix If either of the two above options don't suit your fancy, why not just bypass the TC and make items buyable with tix? Not only would it give BCers more options regarding purchases, and allow NBCers** to buy items, but it may attract players to the game who were turned off by the need to pay. BC can be for extra benefits only, and not something required*** to play.
If you like any of the above solutions, please say which in a reply. :]
*: I'm simply trying to give more options to people who don't have parents who can give them money at any time.
**: This is not an NBC rights thread, do not treat it as one.
***: While not required to play, BC feels like you're paying for full access to the game, and not just special features. Being an NBC** feels like a free trial. |

Support. Some of the BCers here will disagree on the grounds that the TC is operated by the community and it's the community's fault, but ignore them. They just want the gap between BCers and NBCers to be larger.

Hey, I do. S&I is probably too busy spamming "WNTS! WNTS!" to care.

I think the TC really needs to be fixed. I'd also like to see 10:1 ratio again. Support.

Honestly, here's what's really messed up with the conversion rates.
Developer Exchange. Ever since that came out, it's went insane for tickets. |

ROBLOX can't change the currency trade rates with the push of a button since it's users submitting the orders and I don't think you know what spread means: the spread is the difference between the top 2 offers x1000

| Then I do not understand why users would want the rates to be complete garbage. |

| This is a really confusing post, because I really can't tell whether you know what you're talking about or not. "I haven't seen the spread go into the positives for over a year now" and "Change the Tix to Robux conversion rate" are both red flags that tell me you really have no idea how the TC works. The latter quote, for example, makes it seem like you think Roblox has a direct control over the rates, yet your other two suggestions contradict this completely; they are ideas that would try to bring the rates down without Roblox having direct control over the rates (which is correct). |

Lies, I have made plenty of profit. Learn how to profit in negative spreads. It is the easiest and the first thing I learned. |

For those who say the TC is user controlled.
Nope.
Not true.
ROBLOX is the one who persuades the users to use it how it is now.
DevEx and everything, like the catalog. |

| The users do it because the worse their trading at, the faster their trade goes through. If your patient, you can make money off the inpatient people. |

| @3D IT is still user controlled, even if roblox persuades them. The users put the trade in themselves. |

ROBLOX should set it and leave it to that. It makes it possible for an NBCer to actually get stuff, and I'm SURE ROBLOX will still make hats that are a couple hundred of robux still. The only damage I see (though I'm sure there's more) to making the trade currency permanently 10:1 is that some jerks would make outrageously priced game passes and developer's products so that NBCers can't get them.

@klink If you did that you would remove the largest source of profit for non famous NBCs |

| I agree. It (the conversion rates) also shouldn't be able to be messed up so easily. |

| If you set it a 10:1 then nbcs would make only 10 tix a day. I like earning 5k tix in a day through TC. |

| @Bergan No, its rather realistic, the "stocks" are very volatile. Because of this, you could easily profit. You could have doubled your money when the rates went 10:1 to 20:1 |
