On a forum saying we should vote if we want devents or not, you posted
"But they will get better. We always are seeking to make things better. DevEvents are new, give them time, we are still working on making them awesome. "
Now, we have been giving criticism, so why don't you build off of it? We don't want multiple places, we wanted a single place, with original hats. Sponsor hats are OKAY, as long as they don't take up the whole game (like this year.), we really want a good event for once. So please listen to the community - after all, we pretty much make ROBLOX what it is.
Thank you. |

Drop it! They won't listen anymore. Let them do as they please. Even if what they're doing sucks. If they already didn't listen for a whole year of this criticism, then what makes people think they will listen this year?

Exactly, I don't understand Sling's point at all?! We gave criticism for the Dev Hunt yet they didn't take it on for this event. I personally think since Roblox is so money hungry, we should boycott the events.

I'm trying to communicate what the community likes and dislikes, but even then, building on criticism isn't as easy as it sounds once you start factoring budgets into it. I want a "new" map too but sometimes it's not always possible.
But your suggestions are being heard. Seeming lack of action on our part's doesn't mean that we aren't listening, it just means that not all of the communities suggestions are viable options for us. |

you cant deny that the current event sucks, because of three times as many dislikes as likes

@Sling
but you see, you're only getting a small fraction of this. a vast majority of ATR doesn't like Devents. A small fraction doesn't care, and a even smaller fraction do enjoy devents.
i cannot said what its like to work for ROBLOX, but i do understand "you can't please everyone" factor.
we're angry because we're so used to original events, hats, and concepts. we aren't used to the same recycled materials such as a boring scavenger hunt in games we've already hunted in. |

@Sling: You know the community actually enjoyed the Jurassic Park event, right?
Is there room in the budget to do something like that again?
ATR kill joy of the year 2k15 EVERYBODY! |

@Sling "Budgets" 1)You've been doing so many Dev Events I'm sure you can expand them 2)Maybe if you didn't give money away to devs you could expand you budgets 3) What do the games team even do now? If they could make a maps/games before what's different now? 4) This has been going on for over year now, I'm sure an admin made event was possible in at least one case. 5) You're taking user-generated content too far, we don't want user-generated events 6) You're literally pushing your look so much right now

@Squritle I would argue two things:
1: I'm seeing ATR as a whole. I read every post here.
2: The vocal users are almost always in the minority. People who are happy with the event won't be here posting about it because they will be playing the event.
@agodlypancake why did you like that event so much? I'd love to hear your thoughts. |

(offtopic but,) @sling I hope there's a team on the staff devoted specifically to fix problems because us mac users are having a hard time.
(ontopic) OP has a point. |

Instead of choosing boring games and stuff, why not hire devs >2 MONTHS IN ADVANCED< to make a >GOOD< event for the community? Just one game with all but maybe 1 sponsored hat. Literally thats all we ask for is an original event. |

@SlingshotJunkie
Considering how you say budget, I'm assuming you pay or compensate devs who make these events like the current Hallow's Eve event? I'd just find it fun to build a place, not for payment. But, I have no idea what it's like to be making money from such, and I have no experience in such. But still, I'd be offering to try and do it just for fun and to make a good place. Not sure if anyone else who may actually be a more competent builder (I'm not that good) feels the same, but if they did it would be cool to see something like that as an option, unless budget is somehow involved in another way.
Wow that got really rambley, basically:
I know some devs use ROBLOX as a kind of "job" but I think I would offer to make an event just for the fun of it, and if many good builders did this, like say if ROBLOX held competitions to work on the events, I think that would be awesome.
Of course, there would need to be "scripting" and all that which I just don't get. I inserted a script to make the sun and moon move . . . once . . . from a tutorial. |

And then you remember that the likes only went up when traveling was made easier, but people still whined about the map being too big, the quests being too repetitive, and the prizes not being good.

If you look at the railshooter event that iidavid made it looks like it is being received negatively by just about every crowd.
If the pizza place and ripulls mingames had re-published their games with this new event I can guarantee you there would be a tonne more dislikes. |

| "People who are happy with the event won't be here posting about it because they will be playing the event." LOL but it takes like 10 minutes to get all the prizes if you are lucky if you are not it might take more but i think that if someone is unlucky all the time he will just give up (forever or for a while and then try again) and when you get all prizes there is pretty much nothing to do so ... |

"People who are happy with the event"
that's highly impossible since the staff keeps choosing od'er hangouts and walking simulators

@Sling
I believe ATR holds the most valuable opinions. We're a community basically formed around opinions and criticism. Although at times it might not feel like it at times, we're a beautiful community.
The like to dislike ratio is horrible, and the comments are extremely negative, what's your opinion on this?
If you take a look at the comments, (excluding spam)you see that lots of it isn't from the forums, but instead people who are active in the gaming portion of ROBLOX. |
