ROBLOX is removing tix. This can mean many things. First of all, this can be really catastrophic, but really good. Some things say that instead of daily tix, that we can get special achievements that unlock certain things. And I quote off of the blog, "For our deeply engaged users we want to be able to provide more valuable rewards that are not directly tied to log in." This means that ROBLOX gives new opportunities so we can get more into ROBLOX. Some good changes about will be written below. Here is a list of the current changes:
-Developers will no longer receive Tickets on place visit -Users will no longer get Tickets for logging in -Price floor is lowered on shirts and pants to R$5 -First gifts appear in the catalog shortly (future announcement)
After 30 days the following will happen:
-Trade currency will close. Users will no longer be able to exchange currency with one another. -User ads will be available for purchase in ROBUX only. -Users and developers can no longer sell items for Tickets. Items with a Ticket and a ROBUX price will be available for the ROBUX price. Items with a Ticket price will have their price converted to ROBUX at a rate of 17:1 -Tickets will no longer be visible or usable.
Also, the ROBLOX staff are making more items for people not tied with the ROBLOX economy. And I quote here, "We have many things in store for the majority of ROBLOX players who do not want to become involved with the ROBUX economy. In the catalog, we intend to provide more free items, so that avatar customization without ROBUX continues to be creative and rich."
TL;DR: We should not worry as ROBLOX has other ways of adding new ideas into this platform. |

no, it just means that they will replace tix with like 3 free hats every user can earn and do nothing about it ever again
like, right now you can use tickets to purchase various items and also if you have lots of them, trade them to robux and also pay the more luxurious items
this will basically make the robux items exclusive to users that pay
it's just yet another step roblox is taking to enforce users to give them money

"no how dare roblox make us give them money, game be free forever pls" No money = No profit = No company = No game. They will take whatever measures necessary to keep this ship floating and make a larger profit as the game becomes more popular. |

| The blog also states that they are not doing this to make money. "The impetus behind removing tickets is not to make more money. The primary reasons have always been product simplicity, botting, and not incentivizing certain behaviors." |

@ugly
you do realize that with the large active userbase they have that frequently play their games, they get lots of income from advertisers, right?
you do realize that the current BC and robux sales are high enough to pay for their needs, right?
previously, roblox has used the following cheap excuse: we need to pay for servers and thats expensive
surely with the amount of players and income they get, that is a succesfully debunked argument by now
the guys behind roblox are far from a bunch of game developers who want to make a fun game for everyone, they're business men and they provide roblox to advertisers as a business model
they're drowning in money
this update won't affect them as all the dumb kids who can't read past pr bullcrap won't realize how dumb this is and will continue to play, and buy bc and robux
the small amount of people that will quit roblox because of this still won't affect them and they'll still go on making money off of everything
not like they use the money to improve their game or site or community or anything, they just shove it all to the developers so they don't have to spend a single minute on it

Wootry, please note what I said. To keep the game up AND make a profit. This is a money-run world, son. Better get used to it. |

@pav
so because they say it, it's true?
they've promoted the login bonus since they created it in 2006, now they're getting rid of it because they say it's wrong?
look at it this way - it's actually a really dumb move, since those people don't want to log in anymore and roblox enforces them not to, and those people won't see any advertisements that roblox places, so advertisers will be less interested in roblox
why would they do that? well, because they say something to lie, so they won't have to tell the truth
you do realize that even if they don't want to make more money, one way or another, they still will make more money from this? they're basically enforcing their users to pay
and that is the truth, they're just trying to tell other things (that are HORRIBLY unfunded by the way) to avoid blatantly saying they just want more money

Think on the bright side. ROBLOX might become better because of this. If they get more money, then they make ROBLOX better. If its better, they get more money to make it MORE better.
It's a snowball effect, really.
It just takes time to get used to it. You don't know if Trump would do good or bad until he actually DOES that thing. Same with ROBLOX.
Didn't mean to include politics, sorry. |

I only complain about Trump because of his top-tier meme status. Plus the website trumpdonald is really great. |

well have they improved roblox in the past?
not really
we've not really gotten a lot of features and the features we did get could easily be programmed within a day to a week so they're nothing special
on the other hand, there's been a lot of work on buyable items, sponsored events, memberships, expanding the game to multiple platforms so people that don't have a pc can also get into roblox and maybe buy some items with money
i'm not saying they've done good work though
they don't put any money into the game, trust me
also, trump is nothing but a populist, he just screams things to get attention and in return, votes
but he'se not a leader

ROBLOX just wants to give entertainment to some people. It might work.
People want to show off their building skills.
People want to get new friends to interact with. |

if they only would want to provide entertainment, then they'd just release it as a completely free game without any memberships or currencies
but they want to make money off of it and they are doing it in the worst way

| ROBLOX wants to spread the goodness of entertainment, simplicity of the building, and complexity of the currency, they want to make something good for the world |

Also, read this. ROBLOX needs money in order to run ROBLOX. Take 5 minutes and read this.
