Roblox Currency Inflation. It is a problem that plagues millions of Robloxians, but also keeps the elite and paying members rich and powerful.
"The limit is your imagination. Build your World for Free. Now!"
This is a popular slogan for Roblox ads, and what you would see on other sights. This is how I found out about Roblox, and I have hated that sentence ever since. This is so false, it is sad. Once I made an account, I was curious, because there was a big blue button, that said "Upgrade Now". I decided to click on it, and I saw a phrase I would never forget.
"You’ll need ROBUX to make it all happen. What are you waiting for?"
Hmm, Weird? Right? This is where our problem starts. You can't do anything in Roblox without ROBUX, right? Is that why this game is "Free to play"? I mean, there are a lot of things you could do to stop price inflation, even though Roblox would never do it, since they need money. There is 1 very easy solution, which is simply upgrading how many ROBUX a non-playing player receives a day. Instead of 10 Tickets, you could get 5 or 10 ROBUX. I mean, it's not a huge difference, but it will make a HUGE impact on the Roblox community. Either that, or you can lower the prices on every item on the game, which is another good solution. There are other solutions, like making Roblox a Pay-To-Play game, But there won't even be 1/2 of the people playing as there was. It's not just Builders Club you can purchase, which is more ROBUX. It is insanely priced though, with 400 ROBUX for $4.95, which comes at approximately 80 ROBUX for $1, but when you buy 22,500 ROBUX at a total of 199.95, It's 112 for $1. Roblox is trying to get you to get you to buy more ROBUX, so they can get more money, and again, put us non-payers at a disadvantage and make us pay.
One other thing I forgot to address is Trading. That is only available to paying members of Roblox, which puts us non-paying members at a disadvantage. I have lots of things I could trade, but I can't because I can't pay, which is sad. Roblox, please focus on making a good game, and not making money.
So, what I am seeing from Roblox is us non-paying players are comparable to second-class citizens, and could even be compared to illegal immigrants. Sad, right? Some of us even get bullied because we don't pay for a free game.
believe this is a very serious issue, and needs to be addressed immediately. Please support my in my cause, and help me spread this post to the Roblox community. Thank you.
>immediately adressed
This was a problem back in 2010, kiddo.
Also, this post focuses too much on using real world problems into a DIGITAL game. Key word is DIGITAL.
NBC'ers deserve to be in the pit they are. They should be responsible for getting BC for themselves or ROBUX.
I'm done with people saying that NBC'ers deserve a better chance. ROBLOX made the price floor to SUPPORT developers and NOT the people.
ROBLOX is focused on developers creating games to go into the coding business.
Want money? Buy it! ROBLOX requires you to buy these things because you are lazy to make a quality game

TO ADD ON TO THIS:
Someone made a similar post originally like "a little thing for NBCers" in S&I in 2014, and ROBLOX moderators HAVE DIRECTLY STATED they are focused on developers.
That's why DEVENTS are here.
ROBLOX will NOT do anything to "help" NBC'ers, because then the BC'ers and developers complain about making less money from DevEx.

"You can't do anything without ROBUX, right?"
You can play games. You can make games. You can post on the forums.
Shouldn't that be enough already for free?
You can do all sorts of stuff without ROBUX; honestly I just find it as an add-on to the game.
Then again I read the whole thread and I'd hvae to say I agree with you on a lot of stuff.

@Aet
Me, OP?
Or who made the post?
That kid thinks that NBC'ers deserve a chance.
Next thing you know, he'll be crying over the fact that BCers will make less money.

In a lot of cases, this still remains true. They should try to learn something like Unity and learn unity C# it's honestly not even that hard.

TL;DR:
ROBLOX mods don't give one crap about NBC. They focus on developers, and that's final.

I don't quite agree, why don't you get the game?
"they want money"
They need servers, that's why.
I agree with you just pointing things out and hleping

People don't ever seem to understand roblox wouldn't be able to pay up for the domain coming up soon.

i strongly feel that NBC'ers need to be responsible
these lazy people are rioting for money and fairness when then can't even buy 400 ROBUX for FIVE DOLLARS. Or BC for 6 DOLLARS.

EXACTLY.
ROBLOX needs to pay their domains, so they are making money this way.

| The majority of players who get a bunch of ROBUX end up spending it on clothing or in-game micro transactions. You're not going to become rich by just purchasing membership or currency. Learn to script and make a game. |

while i do say that NBCers should be able to buy additional features with their own money to let roblox keep up their servers, i must say roblox is a bit of an oligarchy. I'm glad that they focus on developers, but you really need BC in order to even get noticed via an advertisement (unless you get lucky). I must say, i do hope that they can treat the currency inflation by adding tix sinks somehow.
Roblox is free-to-play, as it is free to make an account money-wise. Roblox is sort of p2w however.
