THis is ridiculous that you got rid of the tix. Now you are just greedy ROBLOX. Now, the hobo looking people will stay that way until you get them to hand over their wallet because their character is so ugly. That is pure greed right there.

I know, they could just make the daily reward less though. People would buy more cause they don't get AS many tix.

You know what... How about this. Robloxis expanding too fast, they should of slowed down and gotten more money, their greed went to far and they wanted more money from more platforms. They screwed it up for them selves and now they will pay. #RBLXISOVER2016! Honestly, it's done.

5% of the ROBLOX population MAX has ever botted/attempted to bot tickets. That still leaves 95% of the population that *relies* on daily tickets to even have a potential at earning things. The removal of tickets basically does one of the following:

A) Makes kids who originally didn't pay money because they couldn't really afford it, or didn't need it, pay actual real life money in order to buy virtual hats.

B) Makes kids who are not well off not able to ever buy anything that their friends make, and very few *select* outfits that ROBLOX endorses are the only thing they will ever be able to buy.

The vision of ROBLOX is to power imagination. This is powering profits, not imagination. Instead of becoming more loose, and letting everyone express themselves without being greedy for money, they have now taken away even more things that allowed individuality and furthered creative thinking because 'someone bots tickets'.

No, this is solely for profit. Don't fool yourselves.

It's time to move on. Just accept that tix is gone. Maybe, roblox will make it where you can earn achievements for robux if you're lucky.

If kids cannot afford $5 a month then they can't afford anything. Be more realistic.

Actually, that isn't exactly true. Internet is a common incorporated expense in a lot of apartment buildings, as well as it is a growing industry for the use of internet television, and other standards that are present throughout a common home in much of the higher-level countries of the world.

Internet is also a thing that families can use to earn small amounts of money (via working online, blogging, etc.), to get an online college education, as well as use for a large variety of purposes. Many parents cannot afford to spend money when they are already working a lot, paying for home services, and any education they have received. Now, children will beg their parents because 'this one hat looks so cool', or something like that. They will essentially A) be mad at their parents for saying no, or B) get what they want and their family could be worse off because of it.

Now, realistically, no family that has internet will lose their home because of $5, but the premises of the issue remains. Money could be better spent elsewhere than on ROBLOX, and this move forces people to pay real life money to get almost anything on this site.

I'm saying, if it isn't a kids birthday or it isn't a holiday or them and they don't have allowance. They won't get money. Simple as that. Also, most kids don't save the money, so they'll buy things that they will end up never using that are really cheap and all the cheap things add up.

Also, the claim 'ROBLOX needs a lot of money to operate'

I'm sure they do, but they seem to have enough money to pay developers like 'loleris' almost 100,000 US Dollars for his work here on ROBLOX via freelance development.

(My intention is not to bash developers here, but I am 99.9% sure any developer that cared about his community would rather see people continue on this site like they did, and see the creativity of the community around them rise, instead of just having people pay irl money to give them money irl.)

Realistically, they could scale back the amount of payment developers get via Dev-Ex without much repercussion. I am all for developers getting money for what they do, but they can survive with a little less money per 100k robux rather then the other 80% of users that play their games not being able to be individual anymore without spending their own money.

In the end, this won't help roblox unless more people who have part time jobs do roblox. But basically roblox put them self in a corner. (THey say the game is for like 5-12). Not that that is a rule, just saying. You don't find a 19 year old playing roblox and they aren't a dev.

"cared about his community"

Sorry for nitpicking but that is a little sexist.

Anyway, its not just DevEx, Roblox has a massive amount of employees and server space.

There are a lot of issues with removing tickets, but unfortunately people will still pay them money in order to get them. Sure, there might be a brief lapse in revenue for a bit on ROBUX sales, but nothing long term. New players will just think it is fine and just pay.

Unfortunately, the extremely sad part about this is that people will be deterred from joining this website. This means less kids are provided the opportunity to grow as developers, or even as individuals. This is all because roblox wants more money.

It's sick.

1) Sexist is a term for bias against a particular gender. My comments have nothing to do with what gender someone is, and I fully support people of either gender.

2) I'm aware that it isn't just DevEx. I was just providing an example of what they could scale back and not cause this fall out. The amount of server space and employees ROBLOX does require money, but there are a *lot* of other things that could be done to earn more revenue (or maintain more revenue) by cutting unneccesary expenses.

Also, if you think that ROBLOX is having any issue with money, that's quite funny.

They were just featured in IGN, so that will get them press.
They also are one of the biggest x-box one games now a days as well, which earns them if not only publicity, but also revenue as well.

Roblox basically wants this to become a game with more developers than players. Hmmm, I wonder if a 5 - 12 year old can memorize everything about lua?

My use of the word 'his' was a mistype. I apologize if this offended you, as I know female developers as well. I didn't proofread before I posted, and I should have. I meant to say their.

200th post, and if there are more successful devs there will be more money for roblox to give, this won't happen though. Roblox has a couple ups and a lot of downs. I think it honestly has a highly uncertain future.
