| I see only one thing wrong with getting rid of tickets. It's going to promote businesses and companies on roblox, such a clothing designers, at the expense of the NBCs. Think about it, because the NBCs(The "have nots") have no other means of income, they will basically be slaves to the people with the money, (The "haves") because they'll be the employers. Roblox seems to be going in a direction getting closer to a user run corporatocracy, or however the heck you spell that. I personally see worker unions in the near future of Roblox. What does everyone else think about this theory? |

Another little bit of food for thought. Economic theory incoming!
First, a few numbers. For the purpose of this post, I'm going to be figuring 5% of the community is TBC/OBC, 15% is BC, and the remainder is NBC.
Just think about that. Most NBCs don't makes games, and when they do, they're often not very popular. There are exceptions, but not enough to offset the mean of the statistic. 85% of the wealth on roblox in a "BC upper class" per se. You may not agree, but to me, those numbers just don't seem sustainable. When all the wealth ends up in a specific class of people, those people make the rules. And we may not like it when they begin flexing their new economic muscles to the detriment of the lower class.
Tell me what you think. |

| Dang, mate. You siggy sums up those posts pretty well. Anyway, no. It wasn't from a leader in a "Generic War Clan," I'm taking an economics class right now. I'm not the best with the formulas, but I rock with the parts of it dealing with theory. |

| And I do realize that NBCs have always been the "Have Nots," but this will amplify those differences and bring them to the surface. |

I think that they could only do this within other bc users Since the update itself just turns the game into 'pay to do anything'
For the majority it's going to push nbc users to want to just leave Just bad for business if it takes nbc out of the picture |

| And by the way, to everyone who doesn't want it to happen or thinks it's a joke. Just stop. It's happening. Understand the science of it and you'll be fine. |

| I'm thinking that without tickets to stabilize the markets, it will go into a period of massive inflation while BCs enjoy their newfound power, then a major recession as people realize that robux aren't as common as they used to be. |

Being this is the currency I grew up with in ROBLOX, and how special I felt when someone visited my game and as a reward, I got 1 tix... It just brings a tear to my eye. That 1 tix represented that someone saw my game and said to themselves "Hey! That's a pretty cool game! I'll play it!", which gave me hope that my game would become big someday... The login bonus made me think that ROBLOX cared about me and wanted to reward me for playing. I made them happy by playing the game, and they made me happy by giving me a little bit of a reward. Now it's like ROBLOX thinks of me as another average joe that just sits around and throws his money at his own screen. They think of me as another dollar in their wallet. I'm going to stop this here. I'm seriously crying right now.
This is my siggy. There are many others like it, but this one is mine. |

To be totally, brutally, cruelly honest about it, that's all any of us have ever been to them. The login bonus was an incentive to keep you playing in the hopes. They're a company. Their ultimate goal is to make money, and you can't blame them for it. They're not a charity.
However, a lot of NBCs will leave, and that may convince roblox to change something. |

They're going to compensate the removal of tickets with free gifts for doing tasks (they said more info about this will be out soon), pricefloor is now only 5 R$, many more free items (such as the ones released today), and the ability to make your own hats, gears, packages, etc.

Not a communism, closer to a corporatocracy, which is different. Here, let me lay it out on a line for you.
Command Economy Mixed Economy Market Economy Communism Socialism Dem. Socialism Capitalism Corporatocracy
Communism is all government control, Corporate-run is no government control, where everything is run by big corporations and the people with the money. |

Honestly, we'll find a way to compensate. I mean, the free items so far dont look so bad and if NBC is allowed to make gears and hats and what not and sell them, then NBC'ers can get some profit. Some NBC'ers could have good game development skills and make a game with gamepasses to earn robux or join a dev group that pays them.
We'll get over this just like the other bad updates.
But tix will still be remembered.

@X NBC probably will not be allowed to make stuff. They'll have to work for companies and the like.
@Mod You can work with a company. |

| If you really need a job, I suggest a PMC of some kind, they are often in need of skilled members, and pay pretty well. |
