ROBLOX, you've messed up. Big time.
There are those of us, who actually accept the changes for what good some of them can actually do, but then there are those who realize just how greedy you people really are.
This rant is basically me analyzing the blog post, piece by piece, listing the bad, and the good.
.You start out by saying "Tix are confusing for first-timers" but, to be honest with you, I never found them confusing at all. If anything, ROBUX are what really confused me. Try this, you start the game up, and play it some the first day. The second day, you magically have new tix, but no robux. So, obviously, whatever you did on day 1, was what made you tix. When I first started, I spent A lot of time trying to figure out how to make Robux. Then, I simply realized. YOU HAVE TO BUY THEM. Most catalog items are Robux only, so this really made me mad.
.You "Claim" that free items will be added to the catalog eventually. Yah, sure, just after ValvE makes Half-Life 3. If your gonna claim something, Roblox, at least back up that claim with some kind of idea about what to expect. I mean, we could be getting a few new Shirts, or we could be getting new gear, we really don't know. And the fact that they didn't want to give us SOME idea about the free items implies that, what are the odds of us actually getting them? You see, this worries me. This entire blog post implies that ROBLOX intends to focus on the Developers and money spenders, instead of the people, just looking to have a fun time, and maybe get a few items with the tix they got that day to get some new cloths. What will those people do now?
.They also "claim" that one of the problems with tix, is that they're worried they are pressuring people to log in every day. There excuse for this problem, is that they want people to be experiencing "Great Things" with friends. I don't even know what to say about this, it's just that ridiculous.
.They then go on to say, it's a "benefit" to remove tix, because people are getting a bonus for creating alt accounts. Am I missing something? Where does it say there is a bonus for creating then connecting alt accounts? If there is, I want my tix. They then go on to add that it "drives behavior that is not at the core of ROBLOX." This statement is false. If people are creating alt accounts just for money bonus, then this defines ROBLOX perfectly. A game where currency isn't earned, it's bought, so to gain currency, people create more accounts.
.The worst thing about this blog post, the most untrue statement I've ever heard associated with this game, is that: "If we give a ROBUX login bonus, it will cause botting." This is so greedy, and shady. The reason people bot, was because you weren't giving them Robux in the first place, not the other way around. And, getting rid of tix isn't the issue, it's your reasons why, and the effect it has on the community. If anything, these new policies will cause more botting, then ROBLOX has ever experienced. For multiple reasons. One is that they promise better animations and item design. There will be a bigger drive for ROBUX now, because that's what the game has become, all about ROBUX.
.They then completely contradict themselves, by stating;"Anything we reward the player with will be bottted." That means, the only way to prevent this is to REMOVE ALL CURRENCY. Now, I'm not saying we shold go to extremes like that, but that's really what's being implied here. That EVENTUALLY they're gonna do something like that.
.Now, just read this part of the blog, it's just embarrassing:
"Q: ROBLOX is greedy for taking away free currency.
A: Every dollar we make at ROBLOX gets poured back into the company. Unlike many other kid (and adult) virtual worlds, MMOs, and social networks, we are growing rapidly and have an enormous opportunity ahead of us.
Our vision is to Power the Imagination of our community, and to do it more immersively and more socially. Removing tickets is not about greed. It is about simplifying the platform, removing bots and alts, and paving the way for a ROBLOX that is bigger, more engaging, and more fun than ever before."
I don't think I need to explain what's wrong with that.
.Now that the bad that actually impacts the community has been covered, lets talk about the good.
.Devs will now be making more money then before. But wait, this is still a problem, because it DOESN'T BENEFIT A MAJORITY of the players. This part doesn't effect the most players in a bad way, but it leaves no room for majority improvement. It just shows that ROBLOX is trying to fix something that didn't need fixing.
.Something else that's good, is that ROBLOX will be improving animations, and 3D character models. I don't believe this needed desperate improvement, but I guess it's best that it be looked at.
I'm not sure there's much else they're improving here. It wouldn't hurt to change the privacy policies, or make some actual story based games. At one point I thought a story mode would work. Not anymore.
So what have we established here? Well, that Roblox is greedy. They were at least smart enough to realize that people where catching on to the fact that they are overpricing for currency and membership, used to buy catalog items. ROBLOX has existed almost 10 years? Well then that really makes them pioneers of free-to-play paywalls. |

| What you said was extremely true in most cases. ROBLOX is removing tickets to attract more people to buying builders club and robux. |

| Roblox isn't terrible. It has good elements. We make these posts, not to BE self-absorbed, but because we want Improvement made to what we enjoy. Roblox, the devs who created the engine themselves are a problem. |

@coolkid
"self-absorbed"
Uh, no. They introduced a game to us. If we want something done, we speak up about it. If it isn't done, we leave. That's how it works.

@cyang
There's a reason why developers get rewards.
Do you know what that reason is?
The reason is because not everyone can make a good/popular (yes, those words differ in meanings on ROBLOX) game. |

Read Carefully? Why call me an idiot?
I did.
But how many people will ACTUALLY be at these activities? When will they happen? What will they be? All questions they didn't answer. |

I can't make a successful game, because I'm not a developer.
Before you ask why I can't develop, Think about the majority of players. They can't either. |
