[ This is purely an opinion, and many of you will agree with me on this. I just wished Roblox haven't changed so much just in the past 2 years to where it looks like a completely different game and making the older version of it non existent or even existing at all. ]
If you're not going to bother reading all of this or just reply with a hate without reading at all and bully me for an opinion, then you are also one of the examples of the reasons of why Roblox went downhill.
1. The games. Yes. The games. The games we have nowadays is repetitive. Way too many murder games, Murder Mystery, Mad Murderer, Twisted Murderer, MLG Murder etc etc way too much. Not to mention the copied games and misleading titles such as Grand Blox Auto on the title and thumbnail when in reality the game is a minigame! There are hardly any well built games such as Phantom Forces, Apocalypse Rising (Well, the game is bad to play now as it is crowded with stupid people now...) and the only game I really play is Build and Race Resort because I build cars a lot there..
2. The updates. Recently if you have noticed, we have had too many site updates that should have not been updated at all. Such as obviously the profile page update which we didn't need. We could have made an option for that as optional like we use to have for the site theme back in 2010, but no, we needed it to be mandatory.. How about the friend list update? No I'm not talking about the 200 limit friends. I'm talking about how we got the friend list in alphabet order. Really? Alphabet order? Some of us don't want it in alphabetical order, we want to see the first friends we made all the way to the friends we made yesterday..
3. The moderation. The moderation on Roblox is pretty bad, yes I know the Roblox Team is small, but really? There was a massive glitch recently and Roblox hasn't fixed it until a week later even after being notified. How about the games? There are too many exploiters out there still copying games, I even saw a copy of Phantom Forces... Speaking of moderation, the Roblox team is scamming people. I had gotten my other user mrbobbilly2 taken away from me by the Roblox staff long time ago because I was being targeted for apparently credit fraud for canceling my payment because I didn't want 1 more month of TBC...
4. The community. Yes you waited for this one. The community on Roblox is terrible. Everywhere you go there are idiots and bullies. Especially one named Cybersquat. Back in 2009-2012, sure the community was smaller, but everyone seemed much more nicer than nowadays. If you have been here for a long time you know what I mean.
5. Erik Cassel. Some of you don't even know him apparently... He was the Co-CEO of Roblox and created Roblox with his friend David Baszucki. Why is he on this list? Well only for one reason and it's ironic. Ever since he died, Roblox has gone down like Mount Thor. Worthless updates, Alan, how about JuliusColes? The false deletion of 1dev2? The 2013 or 14 massive exploits? Nearly everything on Roblox being replaced with new stuff making Roblox look like a completely different game?
6. You know this has to be on here. The events. Slingshot made a thread about why they have these events, but for the most dumb reason. Because the Games Team is small, so they fired them so popular games can make the event. Like wow. The Games Team is small and can't make events? What a sorry excuse. We use to have very good events before such as Hallow's Eve event, the TMNT event back in 2012 which was my favorite event, the Battleships event, 2013 Egg Hunt when the map was huge, how about the Winter Games I think 2014 where the lobby was a lodge? The events we have nowadays is the same exact games we played for the past 6 years and the events are held at games that don't make sense at all for the event. Such as Teen Titans being held at Builder Brother's Pizzas, which is just a slap of a badge giver on the game and a banner for the event. Which redirects you to reason number 1 of this thread. How many events have we had that was held at Builder Brother's Pizzas? 7? 8? Maybe more? And that game hasn't been really updated at all and has remained the same for the past 6 years besides the gui update! And that's a sorry excuse to fire your Games Team just for repetitive places holding contests that doesn't make sense at all for the event. How is Halloween event gonna be for Roblox? Another Builder Brother's Pizza event with recolored buildings to be orange and a hat scavenger hunt?
I know my thread has some flaws in it, but a lot of you know that these reasons are true. |

| @Lucha, I just wanted to put this out here for the community to hear my word... And fun fact: Did you know a team of people are making a copy of Roblox 2008-2010 on a separate site so that you can play Roblox games during that year? I've seen a video of it and it looks very promising and accurate. |

| Ever since Erik Cassel died, it's ironic at the same time because ever since he died Roblox went down like Mount Thor, the steepest mountain in the world. |

| Some of you don't remember Jaredvaldez2. He was the most hated player on Roblox alongside Sonicthehedgehogxx. Jared is an adult now and left Roblox. He's in college right now and just wants to have a better life and forget about Roblox but it'll always be in his head.. He actually seems like a better person now. Sonic on the other hand is a different story. |

| I think the big issues with ROBLOX is the lack of innovation in games, the updates that have no reason to exist, and the focus on events instead of improving the game. Now I would like to say in defense, the updates that were made to the game like dynamic lighting, solid modeling, and custom particles were very good. |

i agree i hate the follower system i liked how all you had were friends and best friends because now all my friends are my followers all 1000+ of them and i don't want it too look like i follow all those people. Another thing i hate is how now people can have 10 pages of hats and they are all eggs and sponsored crap that looks awful or gift boxes gift boxes should dispensary after they are opened the comminity is really annoying too its a bunch of uhhh 3.00 noobs everywhere and the non 3.00s or usually Oders if not oders they are 8 year old tryhards.
sorry for no grammer |

| To be honest, Dynamic Lighting is good in it's way, but before DL we didn't have that. We use to have the way lighting works was since we use to have OpenGL graphics, where the sun points is where the shadows of everything goes to and is based on walls of an object. So the sun is about to set and is facing behind a big wall, the wall's shadow would be tall and reach with the sun and was actually more cooler and scenary than DL, but you had no control over it. Dynamic Lighting is more realistic but it doesn't work like that. DL is focused on just the lighting itself and how dark or light it is... |

'Solid modeling is actually hard to use for me... So I just go build the old fashion way...'
doesnt mean its bad
solid modeling is really cool
-------
op if you hate everything about roblox why are you still here
also, im sure all the developers can easily top the halloween 2013, winter 2014, and all the events
tbh roblox should ONLY allow developers to build the map for them
if developers build the entire event it will be really stupid because idiots like taymaster will end up setting the drop rate to 0.01% (literally, he did.) for the excuse 'vip servers' |

I never stated that Solid Modeling is bad, I just simply stated that it's complicated to use if you build the old fashion way a lot more. And I don't hate everything, did I say I hate everything on Roblox? No I did not, I am still here to build games and cars and to hang out with my friends. I played Roblox since 2008 on my user bob2644, been here for 7 years and seen so many things change while on here Roblox nowadays is just changing way too much and I think it's unneccesary to do all those stuff because it just makes Roblox look like a completely different game... This isn't a social media, the Roblox staffs are focusing on making Roblox a social media mobile app looking site, you can clearly see it. And Roblox fired their Games team because they're too lazy to build good events like we use to have, so instead they just make extremely repetitive games we played since the dawn of Roblox and make them hold the events that don't even make sense for it.
I also am going to talk about the moderation system soon. |

Then quit, OP. Or take off your nostalgia goggles and grow the hell up.

| @Xu, you didn't read the thread did you? You're just judging that this thread is a rant just based on the title. This isn't about nostalgia, this is about how Roblox is being downgraded yet you're bringing up an irrelevant topic?? You are ridiculous. |
