Dear Roblox,

The whole point of player points was to showoff to users with them your solution just made player points even more useless I can make a value in my game save it for players that enter the game and it will do the same thing using global leaderboard.

Remove player points, there is honestly no point in having a leaderboard on your website you are going to now lose money from adding this feature and it has pretty much no benefit please think of it like this now you have a leaderboard that shows on the site that no one is really gonna look at.

I don't get how they lose money?

It's not like they were making money from that update in the first place.

Losing money != Not making money

They are losing money cause this feature is legit just adding extra weigh on the server thats not needed.

Not sure I completely understand the points you're making.

If anything, this change actually makes points more interesting. With the global leaderboard, there really wasn't any way to tell where the points came from. It is hard to compare people who earn their points from a place that rains points against a place where you've got to work very hard to earn them. On a global leaderboard, the people who play easy games will be ahead of the players who play the more difficult games. This means the top players aren't actually at the top of the leaderboard.

Now, players who play difficult games will be able to truly rank themselves against their peers at their favorite game, and the real top players will be ranked highly.

Loosing money is not a concern with points.

Yes the only thing player points does is bring stats outside Roblox games if you wanted to do that why didn't you just let us make our own leader boards based off stats inside the game there's a brilliant idea that you can use. It does the same things player points do except you can track multiple stats inside of just points.

TMM is corrupt as it is, like others have said, we don't need x100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 PP events

I don't think we'll see top games giving away a trillion points. Why would they? It wouldn't benefit them at all. Having a close competition at the top of your individual game leaderboard, by giving away smaller numbers of points, would be much more advantageous for those games.

If everybody has 100,000,000,000 points, there isn't any incentive for people to go to your place, because everybody has those points.

However, if the top player in your game has 1,000 points, and then 2nd person has 950 points, and you can earn 50 points per round win, that creates a great sense of competition that all can engage in.

Gordon, if as you claim there is no point to giving away trillions of points, why does TMM always get a sudden burst of players when it has pp events? People for some reason enjoy racking them up, so he's obviously going to give away stupid amounts to keep kids playing his game

TMM did get a boost when they had a PP event, I'd wager, because of the global leaderboard. It was a chance to make your way further up the global leaderboard. With that gone, I'm not sure point sprees will have the same effect.

It woulda been better to just remove player points in general and come up with better more useful features.
