Re: Why you, the average ROBLOXian, should care about inflation.

Inflation on ROBLOX directly impacts all of us. As more and more players join ROBLOX, more and more tickets are added to our economy. But why should you care? Well, I'm going to explain that.

As more and more tickets enter our economy, the value of tickets goes down. How far down, you ask? Well, over a one-year period in 2012 (I think?), the value of tickets went down by half. That's why it takes 20 tickets to buy a robuck.

But why does the value of tickets matter? Well, as tickets become more and more common in our economy and they become worth less, people start to charge more for clothes and gamepasses because they know we have those tickets to spend. But even though the prices of things goes up, the daily ticket income will remain the same. At the moment it takes an NBC'er 20 days to be able to afford a single outfit, but if inflation continues at this rate, soon it might take one or two months. One or two months to buy a single outfit.

Each day, ROBLOX's 4.4 million active users add more than 44 million tickets to the economy, which adds up to more than a billion tickets each month.

Something needs to be done about inflation, and something needs to be done soon. There are many different ways we can combat inflation, but no matter what we do, we need to do it soon, before ROBLOX's inflation reaches the point of no return.

Actually, it's nothing to do with how many users there are. ROBLOX chose to do the price floor.

We've had this problem long before the price floor.

And how do you suppose average robloxians could fix said problem?

We can't make any tix hats people want. The only thing I could see us (as players, not admins) doing is not selling clothing for robux at all and have a higher dependency on tix than roboux.

While the price floor is hated, it helps the ROBLOX economy from crashing down, by making shirts and pants worth more tickets. However, I think shirts and pants should only be able to be bought with tickets, to increase the value of tickets.

The price floor helped with the inflation issue.

The price floor is actually helping by forcing people to spend more tickets, taking them out of the economy.

DevEx is also a problem. The way to fix it would be to make DevEx work with tickets, not robux.

It's a virtual website that isn't trying hard to keep its members. It's not that hard to walk out the door.

I'm not an "average robloxian" because I'm not 12.

If NBCers got even 1 robux a day we'd be in over our heads in inflation.
Same if people working at Mcdonald's get $15 an hour.

What defines an 'Average Robloxian' anyway?
