In my opinion, roblox needs to remove the price floor. NBCers have a hard time getting pants and shirts. Some of the community might agree with me. The price floor might encourage piracy. The price floor is already ruining the community. Lower the price floor or remove it all together. It's the only way to fix what was caused and resolve the problem.

Well, it's okay it's your opinion and I also think a big community would agree. However, I don't really think it has to be removed. In my opinion the price floor isn't bad.

One of the big reasons why Roblox put the price floor was to reward the actual clothing designers instead of these clothing copiers, here they explain their logic:

"If I make a great shirt and sell it for 20 R$, it’s fairly easy to copy it and sell the copy for 19. Or 10. Or 1. ROBLOX wants to reward creativity, not copying. Copy-protecting these assets is technically impossible, so we want to move to a system where copiers cannot profit on their copies. Adding a price floor limits their ability to do this. Copies won’t be able to sell for less than the original, and given the option, most buyers would rather have the original."

I took this text from this blog post: blog.roblox.com/2013/09/price-floor-t-shirts-shirts-and-pants/

What Roblox doesn't understand is that most original clothing is already at the price floor and copiers sell it at that price as well, they gain about the same as the actual designer.

And sometimes they go a step further, they steal an asset, advertise it to make it more popular than the original one, sell it for a higher price and make huge profits if the quality is really good.

If you look at the results, then this update made Roblox worse.
Because now you got more of this piracy since you can make more profit now than ever before by selling clothing and most of the Roblox community is mad because they don't have much.
One positive aspect is, the original designers do get a bit more money.

'Copy-protecting these assets is technically impossible'

http://www.roblox.com/RBXM-RobloxUShirt-item?id=176086704

Then there's all these Adidas things on the front page of Clothing that look the same except from colour change. That's quite a large profit there.


So now how does the price floor help at all? It can't be removed, it's been there for a year, but if it stays, it's not benefiting us all very well.

@Sereka If Roblox can finally add the source of these templates into every clothing on the catalog, we might say goodbye to clothes being copied.

The price floor does and has done nothing more than Monopolize, by making the rich beyond rich(more rich than they should be from a ms paint image), and the poor even poorer.
There is no solution other than decrease, or remove.

It's been over a year.

It's been lower twice within it's first week.

Quit crying the river; build a bridge and get over it.

@3Dwolf,
"It's been over a year."
Yes, and ROBLOX thinks we've given up. Your point?

"It's been lower twice within it's first week."
No, It was lowered ONCE within the first week.
And it's because they realized how disgustingly outrageous their decision was.
Now it's just left at disgusting.


@Cyrogenic,
LOL, How can you profit off of TC if the rates are so god-awful and roblox keeps making them worse?
That's a whole other problem.


@danbossstar, just the kind of encouragement we need eh?

It's annoying because it's one of the factors that led to the death of the ticket.

More people saving up for shirts=more tix in system=inflation.

The people at Roblox might be going to promote people to buy BC.
