Dear ROBLOX,
I understand that you are taking tickets away, but what I do not understand is your reasoning why this is okay. All I can say is that this is ABSOLUTELY NOT okay.

Your way of thinking is absolutely not okay. You think everything is alright. The reason why I am writing this to you, is because I, personally, think that this is not okay, and ROBLOX has gone over the limits.

This decision in my opinion is very greedy, and should be reconsidered, because of the consequences that will happen to the website. Most of the community, excluding Alts and Bots, are NBC. Which means that most of them rely on TIX. What you are doing, is removing almost all their options to get Robux.

Most NBCers use TIX to customize their character, advertise their game, do other stuff, but when TIX is gone, all of their buying power, is gone.

There are 4 ways to make Robux for NBCers.
1. Make gamepasses, developer products, and more.
2. Save TIX, then trade it.
3. Buy a membership
4. Buy Robux.

When the update goes live, 2 is gone. So, the only way for NBCers to make Robux are 2, 3 and 4. If the account is poor, then there is no way to make Robux.

"More and more, the future of ROBLOX will be about experiencing things with your friends. Most of our work at ROBLOX is focused on making ROBLOX more immersive, and available on more platforms, and easier to play with friends. Removing tickets simplifies our efforts to expand in all directions. And it will simplify the introduction of our new articulated avatar. We plan to be free forever, so you will accrue these benefits as we expand to the living room and VR, and as we make our mobile experience increasingly more social and spontaneous."

First of all, not many people use their iPhones, iPads, or Androids to play Roblox, most people play Roblox on PC. Secondly, Roblox's original goal was to power a simple platform for people to make games.

"For those of you specifically interested in character dress-up, more and more developer games are supporting this. Some of our games, like ROBLOX Top Model, have made clothing purchased in the catalog less important, because dress-up can happen in-game, with your friends."

There are a lot of oders in ROBLOX's Top Model.

"That said, we will be making more free items available in the catalog, not just shirts and pants. We expect that all players will still be able to customize their avatar for free in creative and meaningful ways."

All noobs, even with clothing, stay noobs. As they are the new definition of noobs when the TIX update goes live.

"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!"

These are only tiny rewards. You can do better than this, ROBLOX.

"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"

The last Price Floor was 10 Robux for 100 TIX. 5 Robux converted from normal rate (20:1) is 100 TIX. Also, I talked about the future of the catalog before. Big fail, ROBLOX.

"Over time, our catalog will be largely stocked with community created items for all categories, including body parts, animations and gear. All items in the catalog will go through a selection process where we pick the best items for sale, along with the best items that are freely available for everyone. For those items that are freely distributed, there will be fantastic rewards to the catalog developers."

Yet another sign of greedyness.

"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."

Roblox is being greedy here. They are saying, that the only way other than buying Membership, or Robux to get Robux, is to make a rigged game.

"In addition to user ads, ROBLOX has introduced Sponsored ads which allow developers to more effectively advertise their games. User ads will continue to be available in the future for ROBUX and we believe this will increase the quality of user ads on the site. Both forms of ads are profitable for users who are advertising virtual items and games that sell developer products. We will continue to work on both systems to provide you additional stats so that you know just how profitable running ads on ROBLOX."

Instead of increasing ads overall, this will decrease ads on Roblox, and active membership.

"ROBLOX is a place where many game developers get their start. We are committed to making sure new developers get their games discovered. To that end we have created a new email address – featuredgames@roblox.com – for you to submit your up and coming games to. These submissions will be reviewed by our marketing team and submissions that meet our editorial standards could end up in the featured games sort. We’ve also identified the top ways our developers are making money in their games and provided this information to you in the Developer section of the site. Soon we’ll release more templates for budding designers to use when creating clothes and items."

Even if they feature the game, like I said above, Roblox is being greedy.

"ROBLOX developers will no longer receive Tickets on place visit. Currently, only a very small portion of our top developers’ income is from Tickets.

We are committed to helping our developers earn money."

Even more signs of greedyness.

"We plan to expose additional stats on best-selling products so devs have better insight into what is performing well. We will continue to provide new stats for devs and new platforms and users to help devs earn more. We think that this change will increase sales by more than the income lost and will end up being a positive change for developers long term."

All that the devs on that list are going to get are, bragging rights.

"Q: If it’s about simplifying the economy why aren’t we getting a small stipend of ROBUX for continued logins?

This would make it even more attractive to create alts and bots"

There are bot counters, and since Roblox installed one, they should do it.

"Q: If it’s about botting, why don’t you just implement ways to counteract that, like only awarding currency for spending at least x minutes in a game?

In general, anything we reward with currency will ultimately be botted."

Explained in previous Question.

"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."

Tell me why we have a garbage community, trash web design, exploiters, oders, and Alts/Bots.

"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."

Powering Imagination is obviously a lie. You are actually taking away imagination.

"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."

They why did you even think of removing TIX in the first place?

"We are profitable and will be hiring 40+ additional employees in 2016, 100% supported by our profits"

This is obviously a lie.

Please respond to this, ROBLOX.

Sincerely,
The Angry People.

After the update goes live; two of the options are gone. So, the only way for Non-Builders Club members to make Robux are the items: 2, 3, and 4 from the list above. If a player is poor, than there is no way for that player to make Robux anymore.


I was bored.
