Dear ROBLOX Team,

I am writing today to present how the clothing price floors are hurting the ROBLOX experience.

First, it hurts clothing creators, the very people it was designed to help. Although they receive more currency, shirt creators can no longer look for a price that will give them maximum profit. If a creator can only sell a shirt for 100 tix, he will not get as many sales as if he could manipulate the price as before. It is much more likely that he will make a thousand sales of a shirt for 10 tix, that a hundred of a shirt that sells for 100 tix.

Second, these price floors eliminate competition. ROBLOX has always been about having fun learning things, and successful competition is a valuable skill that is no longer being taught on ROBLOX.

Third, it hurts buyers. NBC players who have little game design experience to get them income have to save up for twenty days (nearly three weeks) just to buy a set of shirt and pants.

Lastly, and I believe most importantly, it devastates ROBLOX groups. Groups need their uniforms to be affordable. Part of the team experience is wearing the uniform of your group, and that is impossible if you can't afford it. The group loses its identity. I have led several groups over the years, and I can tell you that these price floors destroy the groups that people have poured so much time and effort into. ROBLOX players take their groups very seriously, and work very, very hard for them, and do not appreciate the ROBLOX company, who has no understanding of these groups, stepping in and changing their experience.

I appreciate the way ROBLOX listens to its users. There have been some really awesome updates that ROBLOX has added over the years that everyone really appreciates (ex. group store, solid modeling dynamic lighting, bringing back mouse sensitivity), and some updates that everyone really hates. Please, remove the price floors!

It is important to keep discussing this issue. Price floors are truly cancerous and we tried to keep on disputing them with roblox but to little avail. Its down from 300 to 100 at least.

"■▬▬ Not Going To Happen, So Don’t Post It ▬▬■

• CANCEL THE WHOLE THING. (IE, undo a massive update, remove huge features, etc.)"

besides that, your list of reasoning is weak since they're the same reasons that are still used every time this pointless discussion is brought up.

it's been two years. get over it or buy BC/R$

Checkmate.

In response to 0nesh0t, yelling at me and telling me that I'm illogical does not change the truth. These arguments are reused because they are perfectly valid. Bad arguments die out quickly.

Also, one more thought. This does not call for the removal of an enormous update. The price floors ought to be very simple to remove.

Look at the good side of this.

1. It is one of the things which keeps the ratio from being 1:>25.
2. It prevents copiers from fame a bit.

If it was not for there being any bad inflation, or 2 currencies, I would support.

Massive support.

i get that roblox is a company, and needs people to buy their products to survive, but this is getting rid of creative individuality, something that roblox advertises, they are not money hungry, they are hurting, they need the sponsored events to stay afloat. that's why prices are high now, you may not like it, i sure don't like it, but it was bound to happen one day.

It's funny how only the people who are BC use that argument. The biggest damage of price floors is to group leaders, whose members don't have BC. Groups need their uniforms to be affordable.

Even as an OBC I still don't like the price floors. It's just another pointless restriction.

Sorry, Bingoned, my mistake, my BC comment was directed at Cuteboy. I 100% agree with you.

"Harmful Effects Price Floors"

You're overexaggerating, it's only a feature, if you're going to continue to whine, then just quit Roblox all together. It's just some update, when it first came out, I wasn't bothered.
"It devastates ROBLOX groups."

By that, you mean clans? Those clanskrubs deserve it! They can't take a joke and just "attack" people.
