ROBLOX's Conversion system flawed, or unfair?

I've been on ROBLOX for 6 years. If I went online everyday for 6 years and received 10 tickets every time I do so, would I be able to afford more than one decent item in the Catalog? Lets do some maths.

(6 years rounded up) 2191 * 10 = 21910.

Okay, so we have established that if I went online every day for 6 years the grand total amount of money received would equal to a whopping, 21910... Tickets?

Oh... no. Well that won't get us anything good on the catalog now would it? Apart from 8-9 ticket based hats which aren't even that appealing.

No, we want the good, NEW hats not the ones from 2010 which looks like a fanmade mesh hat!

In order to get good hats nowadays you need ROBUX. Lets convert our tickets we've made so far!
(To make it better, I'll add on an extra 1000 tickets, if you get lucky with place visits that is!)
Total so far= 22910

Okay, so without the extra 1000 tickets, I would have 1433 ROBUX. Here is with the extra 1000, 1495 ROBUX. "Wow!" you think to yourself, "that is loads of ROBUX, what's this guy talking about?" Well, my friends, may I remind you that I gained that money (not literally) over the course of 6 years. Lets do some more maths (yay!)

1495 / 6= 250 ROBUX (Rounded up)

That's 250 ROBUX a year. That is just awful. Lets see what builders club members get per year (In ROBUX)

365*10= 3650 ROBUX, straight away Builders Club members have more Robux than NBCs in the course of 1 year. How long did it take to get 1495 ROBUX again? Ah yes, 6 years.

TBC= 365*35= 12775 ROBUX a year

OBC= 365*60= 21900

That is more than 14X what NBCs get.

The way I see it, is that there are two flaws, the Tickets to ROBUX conversion system, and the class system. Now, I'm not saying builders club is expensive, because it isn't. But, it is unfair to others who are avid players but just don't want/have to pay for privileges. I think NBCs should receive 5 ROBUX a day, seems like a fair price.

365*5=1825 ROBUX, in one year, not six.

The reason that the system is like that is because;

1. ROBLOX has to have a way to make money, if everyone had close to or the same benefits, why would anyone bother to pay for BC, ROBLOX's main source of revenue?

2. It is motivation to make games. Why make a amazing game if you are raking in 15,35,65 ROBUX a day? The system allows for people to either take one of two paths, one being the easy, BC path, and the other choice is to put in the effort to get to the top, after all, if everyone got free ROBUX, what would be the point of making games? (Not to say that BC members don't still make amazing games.)

All in all, put in the work, and reap the benefits, man.

5 ROBUX does seem fair, but it would whack up ROBLOX's economy.

That is one of the first civil and educated responses, thanks. Seems people still can't accept other people's opinions.
