ROBLOX is intended to be the world's leading game developing platform. I see it as a reasonable goal, and the ROBLOX staff are well on their way to becoming figureheads in the entertainment industry. But people wishing to use their resources and be successful are pinned down by a number of disadvantages.
Even though ROBLOX is free to play, people who do not have premium membership will find it extremely difficult. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The game revolves too heavily on the virtual currency, Robux. Robux will give you a truckload of tix, and a truckload of tix will give you Robux. That's the problem. A normal user receives 10 tickets a day. A person who has the most premium membership, OBC, receives 60. That's well over 120 tickets ALONE. You want to advertise your stunning game? You need to tix to advertise it. You want to become a Wild West gunman? You need tix or Robux to buy the clothing You want to buy that game pass of your favourite game? Too bad. You need the money to buy it. See what I mean? Maybe the community wouldn't be so full of trolls and exploiters and ODers if people felt like they meant something to everyone at ROBLOX HQ. There are probably hundreds of people out there which have cutting-edge games, but can't get any visitors due to the disadvantages they face.
You can't enjoy ROBLOX as much with no premium membership. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The reason Minecraft was so successful as it was another world from reality. Players can do whatever they wanted after buying the game. With ROBLOX however, you need to pay to access that game, you need to pay to be that person, you need to pay to get the publicity needed to be successful. NBCers (80 per cent of the community) don't get any of this. Instead, they are expected to hit the front page with no boosts and receive the tix they deserve with their game.
What worsens it is the fact that with the different tiers of paid membership, the community feels divided. Y'know, you always think that OBCer with the username of loleris or berezza is more professional than perhaps a BCer with the username willandryan123. If the aim of ROBLOX is to enjoy making and building high quality games, you're pretty far off to be honest.
Where's the moderators??? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The current moderation system probably would be much more effective if there were hundreds of mods. That's probably not possible. But the bad thing is I reckon over half of all possible reports never get reported because players do not trust the moderators to do their jobs.
That is NOT good.
I personally feel that the moderators should actually start being more active everywhere, because sometimes when there is a speed exploiter is zooming around Natural Disaster Survival, I think that no moderator will ever see the report I send them. You know why? Because NO moderator has ever posted on S & I in a LOOONG time. Because NO moderator has ever been seen replying on a blog post when I look. Because NO moderator has been proved to have looked at an e-mail I send them!
I honestly think you should have volunteer mods. There are probably American, British, Indian and beyond do-gooders who want to help out with the site, and as long as you give it to a trustworthy account (not one which was created the day after you posted the recruitment post and is obviously a troll's alt) because, at the end of the day, half a hundred of people on the west side of the US can't cater for all the injustice of millions around the world on this site.
Lack of communication between users and ROBLOX --------------------------------------------------------------------- Expanding on the lack of moderation idea, the most I've ever been given by ROBLOX is most likely a botted message. I think it's the same for 99 per cent of everyone who has ever attempted to contact you.
I mean I suppose people can see when they see [Content Deleted] But does that tell you much about them? Apart from [Content Deleted} there is absolutely nothing that the admins have seen to have done. Have they banned the imposter? Have they commented on the idea? What do they want? Nobody knows.
The problem is that the S&I the feedback section of the massive game known as ROBLOX, is empty of moderator posts all across the British awake hours. So all those Price Floor, Robux/Tix and troll posts never seem to come to the attention of staff. Well, that's a good impression of how they take player feedback.
"Buy Builders Club!" is everywhere. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sorry, but making 'Upgrade Now' in a green rectangle right below your username is just annoying and a pain. Also, having ROBUX one of the four primary hyperlinks across the top of the monitor isn't much better. I know you're trying to get people to buy, but there are some people who won't and never will.
Oh yes, and the ads are really absurd. Right now as I am making this post there is a dishwasher add from Samsung. And I expect ROBLOX players who are ten will want to buy a dishwasher.
And yes, some of you may have seen that Beach Hangout doohickey. That seems ripe for Online Daters.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------ TL, DR Roblox can become a worldwide gaming legend, like Minecraft, but many fatal flaws stop it from becoming paradise for the West, and beyond.
Oh yes, and before you say 'I paid you didn't.' Just realize that without that millions of NBCers like us can quit whenever we feel like it. Anyway, can you make that great game that you keep going on about. There's 30 spaces on the front page. And there's like 30 million of us.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Proud Human. |

Right now Roblox is a mess. We need to clean it up. By being good to each other and stop abusing free modeling, but when you want to say: "GAWD FREE MODELS!!!" just say: "Only free models on the game. The owner should start creating too."
Full Support. |

for those that TL;DR'd down to here, basically he complains about how ROBLOX has a premium membership that is their main source of income and that is in decline and how he wants it to be removed and then how bad the community is
the community is molded by the people in it, not the moderators or the people who own ROBLOX

You obviously don't look very often. Literally yesterday, I saw a mod in S&I commenting on ideas. A few days before that, I saw one talking to people in blog post comments.

How the hell do you expect a FREE game to make money if you don't pay them
And you don't NEED robux, because roblox isn't charging you so you can play games
It's just that OP is too greedy and spent an hour or two writing up this useless wordwall so he can sound smart and ask roblox for more robux.
hah, it's really cute how OP expects roblox to have a top notch moderation team when he doesn't even want to pay, and that he thinks that NBC'ers can be his personal army just because they don't want to pay roblox for a free game. |

The reason why is, well, Spicy said it. Servers. Roblox hosts MILLIONS of servers everyday, which is extremely expensive. They also have to keep the site up, and pay their workers. That's not easy to do if you don't have anything for the players to buy. "But why are they promoting it?" Again, they need to pay for MILLIONS of servers. "What if they didn't pay the server bill? Wouldn't that be less expensive?" You wouldn't be able to play with friends, or even play at all!
I'd type more, but I'm not too good at explaining stuff. |

First off, there's no game where you'll find free benefits, nothing is free.
Pay to win games NEED at least a subscribing in order to keep their foundation running, unless you want to see a collapse of servers and have them not coming back. That's how life works also.
Moderators do actually come back the threads and post, if they haven't posted anything that doesn't mean they haven't seen it. They can always take note in secret.
If you think Roblox need to apply those suggestions from your thread, then Roblox isn't a game for you, we have enough of these annoying threads when others don't read WNTS.
Don't like it here? Leave. |

| Servers aren't that expensive nowadays. Also, the servers are probably cheap $3.00 servers as they run on Windows and probably has 1GB of ram or less with a bad processor. |

Roblox is not, and will not be the leading game developing platform ever, simply because it's not a platform at all. And besides, there are much better tools such as Unity, Java, and Flash.
"The reason why is, well, Spicy said it. Servers. Roblox hosts MILLIONS of servers everyday, which is extremely expensive. "
Servers aren't expensive, the hardware to run more however is.
"Servers aren't that expensive nowadays. Also, the servers are probably cheap $3.00 servers as they run on Windows and probably has 1GB of ram or less with a bad processor."
If they are hosting their own servers, expect the cost to be much higher, and the specs as well. In fact, I don't even think anyone in their right mind would host games like Roblox on a crappy PC like that. The goal is to host as many servers on a PC. Plus, nowhere could you get a server machine for $3. |

Flash isn't a scripting language, thats a game engine. Flash's scripting language is ActionScript3 |

roblox should get rid of BC, removing the price floor is not completely enough.
roblox is going even more horrible as day by day, they've done a lot of the unsuggested updates, and a LOT of the updates ar hated by user!
besides, you can even be able to find a large server with a low price, and everywhere. or roblox could make even more player so they have to pay less averagely? it is as same! even without BC, using donation, roblox could still be able to survive, and even the economic apocalypse!
==- (reminder) ok basically this is not a joke, i am not fooling myself at all, if you hate this for any unacceptable reason is as same as bullying, so beware your behavior, your behavior could decide the future of your account. |

Roblox needs the money to keep their servers running, which cost millions of dollars per month. Seriously, I did a thread a long while ago explaining everything in details, but it's not worth posting it right now.
When they increase their prices, that means the servers cost most. You need to understand that it's hard for them to find a balance between players, and reasonable costs, nowadays.
Also, stop with the philosophical crap. It's not like we really care.
Quick breakdown:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Right now as I am making this post there is a dishwasher add from Samsung. And I expect ROBLOX players who are ten will want to buy a dishwasher."
Roblox DOES NOT control the displayed advertisement. Google Adsense does. If there's weird ads displaying anything, it's not Roblox's fault.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Because NO moderator has ever posted on S & I in a LOOONG time. Because NO moderator has ever been seen replying on a blog post when I look. Because NO moderator has been proved to have looked at an e-mail I send them!"
Actually, in the past 48 hours, there's been more than 40 moderator posts. You are not looking in the right threads.
They don't need to reply to a blog post. I mean, why would they?
Finally, when you send an email to Roblox, it's the "Customer Service" branch of Roblox who occupies of solving the received content, not the Moderators.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "I honestly think you should have volunteer mods. There are probably American, British, Indian and beyond do-gooders who want to help out with the site, and as long as you give it to a trustworthy account (not one which was created the day after you posted the recruitment post and is obviously a troll's alt) because, at the end of the day, half a hundred of people on the west side of the US can't cater for all the injustice of millions around the world on this site."
Roblox already said in a livestream that it's not happening.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ALSO, THE GOLDEN RULE OF EVERYTHING: YOU. DON'T. NEED. CLOTHES. TO. PLAY. THE. GOD. DAMN. GAME. Why nobody is understanding that?

"Pay to Win"
predicting that roblox is gonna be ended of their business because of the economic apocalypse, or roblox is the part of the game industries. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWiGnG59LqY <-- a source i found
because roblox needs "more" money to support their want and get to pay the developer exchange, they did a "lot". also, the quality of community is dropping, as people cannot play their happily, they will automatically leave.
unless roblox is no longer feudalism pay to win, and become an organization, or roblox is not gonna survive after 2020. |

No it won't. Calling out flaws in your arguments isn't bullying or "hate." You clearly have no idea what bullying is.
