The amount of developers that devex is insane
i can only imagine around 60k+ dollars are devexed a month
thats 600k a year
they needed to remove lifetime bc due to it making things so much cheaper on the site
when the site first opened up i am almost positive it was looked at as more of a gimmick
they had to remove it because it too away so much revenue
Not to mention roblox needs to pay money to keep all these servers up
trust me that isnt cheep

This is sadly why we need sponsored events. The only way to get regular events back would be to lower the robux to dollar ratio and many developers wouldnt be happy about that.

Its sad honestly that we are in this loop but we are just going to need to stick through til the end

And for those that say roblox is going to die in a year due to the decrease of events... youre partially right

Events may be a thing of the past in a year
the site may feel like it died but it is growing every year
it isn't the same game but there is nothing we can do about it
We just need to deal with it sadly

And trust me Ive been fighting against dev-ents for the longest time and I would always forum when there was something that just rustled my jimmies
but ive given up
our riots wont work on atr
most mods look at people on atr's opinions as worthless as dirt
but on the bright side developers are fighting back against this

In the past week cinder and taymaster have came out saying that these events are truly garbage and clonetrooper has been saying it for the longest time. IcyTea is one of us so he agrees fully.

We just need to deal with this for another year before roblox realizes their faults
Well thanks if you read this I hope you post intelligible responses bellow if you dissagree




tl;dr = Sponsorships are needed to support developers and devex. Devents are going anywhere anytime soon but developers are speaking out about it. We may see change in a year or so

Trust me I HATE devents but if we want to keep this site alive we need to deal with them
sure roblox should make actual events every now and then
but they get more money doing big events with sponsors

No ty, if you want to reduce the money being drained from ROBLOX just decrease the amount of a Devex trade, it's not like Developers are going to quit ROBLOX because of that, And about the events, it's quite simple, sepparate the important events and side events, the important events will stay as they originally were (i.e. EggHunt, Bloxmas, Bloxtober, etc) while the side events can be sponsored Devents. Simple as that. Nothing too hard is it?


Prepare yourselves, to the Devoween...

@Dj if only it were that simple
its obvious developers will leave if they get paid less
not to mention sponsors do checking up on the site to see what events bring in the most people and they rent out a certain event

ROBLOX used to go pretty well without the Devex. There were many good games even before it existed, many. Plus the developers don't only exist for the money, but for the passion of creating, which is actually what ROBLOX is meant to be.

What ROBLOX did was to replace everything with Devs, while very important, they just exaggerated, putting Devs everywhere, forgetting about the fun of the games. At this point ROBLOX should have done some action to find a soluction to this problem, and see what happened, it only got worse and worse.

So worse that the Devs themselves aren't liking the way this is going either, Clonetrooper, Taymaster, Cindering I could pretty much give you a large list of front page Devs who aren't enjoying the way ROBLOX is knifing the events.

I'm not catering developers
I'm not catering sponsorships
The reason why we have sponsored events is because of developers using dev-ex
but it isnt their fault

Roblox needs to do something for devex to improve the quality of events

Or they could use some elements of their last successful events and build a new one, possibly a sequel to the witching hour?

Then it they do that they are bound to make profit.

heres the issue with that statement
companys that want sponsorships will pay to be a big part of the big roblox events
they know what gets the most plays

If they put some damn effort into the event like egg hunt 2013 then they wouldn't even have to sponsor. Did the egg hunt 2013 have any sponsors? No. Was it the most successful event? Yes.

having sponsored events gets roblox as a company more money because big companys will pay lots of money to get in these events
