As a player from 2009 (Alts exist), Roblox has gone nowhere except up. You think your a warrior for social equality on this game, because you fight for the rights of people who sacrifice absolutely nothing to come onto this website and enjoy what it has to offer.

It's like a homeless person standing in a soup line, then when he finds out that baked carrots are no longer included in his soup, he protests.

Roblox is perhaps one of the greatest social platforms to exist. It has given out millions to its young developers as well as charity. If you don't appreciate what the admins give us, go play something else. You clearly don't give anything, so you won't lose anything either.

They give us so much now. However, they are becoming greedy. [More hats becoming ROBUX, so NBC's have to buy it or become BC], [Just disallowed NBC's to create their own shirts [[I've never used that feature, but I know how big a deal it is]].]

I've seen more than you have. They're not giving a two craps about the community and becoming more about business and making money. [I don't blame them, though.]

It would be nice to see more hats that cost tickets (Like maybe one a week they release a decent hat for tickets at a reasonable price). Clothing is also a broken feature of ROBLOX that has long been overdue for a revamp.

"ROBLOX is perhaps one of the greatest social platforms to exist."
Hate to burst your bubble, but the community is simply bad. There are cyber-bullies, OD'ers, rude people who think they're tough, and raging kids. You'd be lucky to find someone which is none of those in-game.

As someone from early 2007 I've seen Roblox. They HAVE become greedy.

Why you may ask?

Taxes, for one. 30% is bad, especially for devs trying to make a decent cut... what about NBC? 90% tax... that's just sickening. On anything and everything we get massively taxed. To follow up by that Roblox implemented a 200 tix fee for ALL clothing, which after riots resulted in a mere 100 tix price floor to "stop copying"... this did the opposite. It in fact just made more people copy shirts. People in Clans lost dearly as many members could not pay for the uniforms, no one liked it except Roblox who then made a pretty penny from the update.

Onto another point, the Roblox 3.0 Roblox has taken the blox out of Roblox, even with 2.0, people HATE it, more over the 3.0 especially making it the newb look. This shows how Roblox, as usual, does not listen to the players.

Roblox does have the DevEx program which is great, but come on, they have it so it can circulate Roblox through the system and keep it at a high value... they make twice the money, then give half of it to those who trade out.

On another point, they not only removed the chat bar for Guests and non-talkers, but they also implemented a new silly filter feature which blocks out 90% of words said by those under 13, which makes it almost impossible for anyone else to understand them. This ripped away freedom of speech, they to this day still have not fixed it.

I could go on and on, yes Roblox is great and has a pretty good community, but these recent updates have broughten shame on themselves. They're ripping the community apart.

@TrustMe


Your knowledge is flawed however.

The 30% Tax is there to get robux out of the economy. There is a reason robux is no longer worth 10 tickets, but rather 16.

The shirt price flooring was so that clothes makers can make money, instead of having to settle with making it practically free so that they can compete with other clothes makers.


The stuff Roblox does is for a reason.

If you have your shirt for 10 tix, you can get 10000 people to buy it. If it's 100, then you might only have 50-100 buy it. You make more then it's lower. Quantity over quality.

If you have a 10 tix shirt, your earnings will be slim no matter how many people buy it. If you have a set low price of 100 tix, people will have no choice but to buy it as there is no alternative price, making your earnings much higher.

If it's 100 and you're trying to manage a clan, it will take the players 20 days or more to be able to purchase the uniform alone...

OK then,if you think ROBLOX are greedy,then please,go attempt to set up a website with hundreds of server machines running 24/7 and keep up the price of the domain,then buy an HQ and pay thousands to hire workers and administrators etc. So please,if you think ROBLOX greedy,get out.

And you're under the impression that the site is a hobby for the staff. It is a greedy site, just like every other kids site. Although they do take it farther, we have no grounds being angry over it. As they leave what they said they would open to free to players

Roblox is currently making several million every year. They also run off of very crappy engines that run on a silly global system rather then a better regional one. They're not hurting for money.
