Now, I know everyone has mixed feelings on this subject, but I am completely against it and would like to tell you why. I'm going to take paragraphs from the blog post and explain why I disagree.
1. 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. Today, we have introduced two free packages for your character. Going forward, we will feature the work of top creators in the community as we migrate to a fully community driven catalog.
Argument: Although many players will be fine with this idea, I think it is ridiculous. I know eventually there will be a lot more free hats, but I don't think that it will be able to replace the pages and pages of hats you could have gotten for tix without having to wait forever. ROBLOX will also be making free clothes. The problem with this is that the clothes ROBLOX makes is low-quality garbage. If ALL the new players are picking from a small to medium selection of free clothes and hats, where is the sense of being unique? I know some people don't care about their look, but for a lot of people its how we express ourselves and what makes us, us.
2. Will anything replace the login bonus? We want to continue to reward many of the other activities you do on ROBLOX. We are introducing three temporary achievements on ROBLOX. Check the blog tomorrow for details. We want to continue to celebrate your accomplishments – and you guys do so much more than just log in!
So, you're telling me instead of getting tickets we can use to buy pretty much anything we need, we now can earn a few achievements that I don't imagine will do anything? That's like saying "Oh let me take your allowance, instead you get a gold star!"
3. I have a business making clothing on ROBLOX. Will I make less money going forward? We are reducing the price floor on shirts and pants from R$10 to R$5. We are reducing the price floor to ensure that creators have more freedom to sell items at lower prices, now that tickets will be removed. We will also be holding regular contests for clothing makers going forward. They will be creating the clothing for our new users and we’ll also be featuring their clothing in the catalog for all users.
Why does it matter if you lower the price floor if all the new players will have no currency to buy things? It seems to me like ROBLOX completely forgot about all the new players that play ROBLOX. If you don't care about the "noobs", how will you grow?
4.Tickets were a reward for developers who made great content. How can they be rewarded now? Developers can now monetize their game with developer products, gamepasses, and the affiliate program. ROBLOX developers can cash out their ROBUX for dollars which can be spent in the real world.
I just happen to be a developer myself. Before they removed getting tix for visits, I used to get about 50-100 tix DAILY. But, that is not nearly enough to use the DevEx. So, they only took into consideration the big developers. They also said developers could use gamepasses and developer products, but how are people supposed to buy those if they don't want to spend their robux and have no other currency??
5. ROBLOX doesn't care about base-level players, the majority of our Monthly Active Users. Every player who ever supports us through ROBUX or Builders Club was originally a base-level player. We understand this dearly. We understand that if we make ROBLOX less attractive for base-level players, over time we will have fewer monetizing players.
You heard it, "Every player who ever supports us through ROBUX or Builders Club". What do both of those things have in common? You have to pay for them. So they just said themselves that they care about whoever pays them.
And that folks is why I think this change is terrible. |

@fsa
"ignorant"
they already took a majority of tix hats offsale, made some limited even, stopped place visit tix, and already lowered the price floor.
You're the one who is "ignorant"

@Tanner
I never had said I was against it, infact I don't really care.
My clothing group isn't even really a "group" it's more for my own personal use but I sell the items just for random profit.
I've put no time into it what so ever.
I NEVER said that I was against it at all.

| @fsagrdhred the fact that you no longer get tix when you log in, or when people play your game is proof. Also admins have confirmed it multiple times. |

| @Tanner Why does that matter? I have enough robux to buy clothes, and I don't even make clothes so why is that relevant? |

You need tix no matter who you are because...
1. Loss of tix is a loss of incentive for good free to play games.
2. Loss of tix means your NBC friends will look like trash (even with the free items).
3. Loss of tix means that that look you have on you are stuck with unless you buy BC/robux. |
