[If you're not used to or comfortable reading long threads like this one, then I suggest you stop reading here.]
Recently, in the month March, 2016, David Baszucki proudly announced the removal of Tickets. Tickets, unlike Robux, are part of their economic system and are rewarded to players once each day they log into Roblox. Tickets would benefit Non-Builder Club members so they can buy stuff from the catalog, such as shirts, pants, T-shirts, ect.
At first, it sounds like an awful update. But when you think of it more in-depth, you finally understand. Why are players against this update? What is their negativity towards this update?
Let's go through the Pros and Cons for Tickets step-by-step.
■▬ Pros ▬■ • Beneficial to Non-Builder Club members. • Can be traded into Robux if the minimal number of Tickets is reached. • A system that could engage players who don't have much money in their pockets to stay on the site. (When I say "could", I mean possibly, not instantly or be able to.)
■▬ Cons ▬■ • Not many featured Catalog items that prefer transaction of Tickets. • Not as valuable now compared to the past. (Years back in Roblox.) • Has less value due to the Price Floor.
One of the reasons why people dislike this future update could be one of the statements listed above the Cons. If not, then the only answer it could be is one word only; nostalgia. For the players that had been on this site for years, I think you know what I'm talking. People who have been on this site for a long amount of time cannot let go of the past because they're too connected to Tickets because of them used to being valuable back in the day.
As this is a question that can be answered to ones self, this is an opinionated question that cannot be answered officially; neither from me. Basically, all we can do is support the choices Roblox is making this year and hope for the best.
Another thing, is that a rumor has been gone around that this update is somewhat connected to an April Fools joke people believe Roblox is working on. But here's the question: Why would Roblox announce this early enough rather than announcing it on the day of April 1st?
Speaking of the word "opinionated", what are your thoughts of this future update. What do you think of this post? Do you disagree with what I say? I'm open towards all opinions, so share as you like. |

I'm all for it. ROBLOX wants it, so do I.
Speaking of the April Fools- I've been told by multiple admins, including one that I've known for quite a long time (before he became an admin) that this is not fake, and is definitely not an Apirl Fools joke. Just saying. |

not really
i dont have much time to work on games anymore, and when i do, i hope for some form of compensation (albeit it sounds greedy, but college loans wont pay themselves)
i used to make 3000-5000 tix weekly > 200-300 robux from place visits i have only made 400 robux total since gamepasses came out my games cant/dont follow a gamepass format
i have earned 0 robux/tix since this update launched
its detrimental to small devs |

| @cloakedyoshi that's interesting. And do know that in the sentence you had quote me on, I preferred the term "could" instead "can" because I know I could have possibly wronged myself in anyway. |

| but the majority of cons are roblox's fault. most featured items don't even accept tix, because they are by roblox, and the price floor was made by roblox to get clothes makers more money (when a lot wanted to produce their clothes cheap for everyone) price floor was only reduced when tix was removed, which just makes no sense. As for their value compared to years past, that's economy, and the economy could get better, I think it's affected by trade currency by players. Like, I think if you trade a lot of robux to tix, tix looses value. Not sure on that. But I know economy is a paired effort to help. |

Roblox is basically telling people "You are here to dev, to make us money, you don't make us money, you don't get money (currency/robux in this case)
Small devs can't/won't be making as much moeny with this update.
Plus, what are the younger people on roblox suppose to do now, with no income, they won't be able to modify their avatars on the website (Yes i know, "Ooohs, devs can make things for only 5 robux!" But how are the 10- users, who can't build/code suppose to make those 5 robux?..
Tixs may not be useful for all users, but to most, it is. |

| Liking your guys' opinions so far. I find it ignorant how players are now blaming or jealous of the developers, even they had no take on this update whatsoever. I bet they had the same reaction as we did. |

@keemobobo apparently in the article, Roblox believes that there aren't much young ones and the community is somewhat "maturing" in some way. lol
When I was a lad, ignorance was bliss; and it still is. |

| Sure, the community is maturing, but not everyone here is tech savy, not everyone knows how to code, not everyone is here to develop :\ |

| i am looking forward to the removal of TIX they have been on roblox since before i joined and it would be interesting to see how ROBLOX changes along with the update im sure ROBLOX will compensate the removal for tickets whether thats with more free items on catalog or more frequent gifts or even a reward system for loyal players the value of tickets make them pretty much useless now anyway another reason i am happy about this update is it will show us who the true dame devs are because th money hungry ones wont stay around for long when there losing hundreds of robux a day because robux = money ever since DevEx came along also alot of players will quit ROBLOX because of this update so the ROBLOX Community will be filled with more open minded and mature people instead of greedy people who beg for Tickets |

| What I am confused about is why roblox has to remove after all these years. I'm pretty sure tix hunters will leave, some kids will leave, iI'm pretty sure it will lead o a big conflict in roblox. Not many kids can afford robux or their parents simply don't spend their money on games(50% of roblox players), so removing tix will not only make them poor, but robux being the only form of currency will be weird. |

| It's funny that you even considered writing about that rumor of it being a prank for April Fool's Day because it's pretty clear that it's not. |
