"As all of you have heard, tix went riperino Pepperoni. And personally, i gotta say this is literally the worst thing they could have done in the history of any updates they have made so far. What makes it even worse is, they went off and made excuses/lies of why they removed the "tix". For example: "We are removing tickets for a number of reasons. Although familiar to many of us, they are confusing to first-time users." <- This statement itself is bs. Unless Roblox is the first online mulitplayer game a person has ever played, i can see how that statement holds true. Other than that, if you have EVER played any multiplayer game, there has/will always be the two currency's. Sakes, there are even two currency's in games like "clash of clans" and etc. If you DO get confused on how it works, you will understand the process in MOST LIKELY under a day. It is common practice in every game, and makes it so that the catalog of the certain game is fair. Not only that, but if it is the first online game a peer has played, this could be a introduction to EVERY OTHER ONLINE GAME'S CURRENCY SYSTEM.
Alot of people find one of the best experiences of Roblox is to create your perfect character. The problem with removing tix is...it's impossible now. Infact, i know MANY PEOPLE who joined roblox just because it had such a fair system of character costumization (that was before the 100+ tix influx). So this only means that roblox will lose about 1/3 of its incoming audience, and 1/3+ of its current community. (incoming audience as in: People who have yet to join the game, but will) Roblox doesnt realize that the majority of people in roblox do not want to spend money on this game. The majority of this game are kids 15 and under, and with the removal of free currency, roblox will lose a major audience (dont want little 9 year olds stealing from their mum's credit card now, do we?) One of the foundations of roblox itself is that, in this game you can create anything you want. You can customize your character into whatever you dream of, and with that, you can create any world you think of on the top of your head...But now one of the biggest pieces is gone. You cant customize your robloxian, instead you are limited to either wasting money (which i will get to in a few sentences), or the free set of items that they have. The problem with the free items is, they dont tend to every persons needs. Some people buy the clothes to look as if they were a steampunk character, gothic, etc etc. The free items tend for only the casual look. You cant make your own story, if you cant make a character for that story. (IT SAYS ON THE SIGN UP PAGE ITSELF "Create your own story").
Now, for the last part of this rant. The reason why roblox made such OBVIOUS excuses, is because roblox knows the majority of their community wont comprehend. They are, like i said, 15 and under, and most likely even 12 and under. The REAL reason of roblox's removal of tix has been shown throughout the years. Roblox yearns for money ,and they think dont have enough. (They dont need to even have alot of money in the first place, all they do is literally pay the people who work in the company. Even then, they dont need too much people working in it...it's literally a sandbox game. The people who work are the players.) So they made games you needed to pay for, and raised the prices of all the catalog items. The reason is to make the robux look more like a option that will be better in the meantime. It makes the robux look appetising. The problem is, their plan didnt work because the option to trade currency still existed, and for the items in the catalog, the tix was still shown as a available option for you to spend and buy items with.So,because it didnt work, they went ahead and threw the whole tix currency away. This makes it so that; in order to fully experience roblox, you need to SPEND YOUR OWN MONEY. They tried making it seem as if the robux was needed, and when people saw it wasnt (because of the 100 tix priceline, and trading currency), they threw it all away to make the robux an actual NEEDED option. They put thelowest price down to 5 robux because they didnt want to make it fairly too obvious, and when someone see's that something has the option to lower the normal price of what it usually is/what it used to be, it makes whatever the certain item is appetising. This is a tactic used ALOT in business who need to sell certain items (like clothing companies, etc) In the business world, Roblox would be shunned...and it actually has been by a multitude of entrepenuers and game developers. They are dissapointed in the admins of roblox. End of the story is: Roblox is indeed, the lego EA."

| I am honestly disappointed with the admins of Roblox. I remember the 100 tix minimum they put on most items. Sure I was unhappy, but I was able to deal with it seeing how it was still possible to get the clothes I wanted. However, this next step of removing the tix is one of the stupidest and most moronic things I've seen Roblox do. Sadly, in the past, Roblox has never considered its audience in its decisions. Many people have tried to push back against the changes (BC only games for example) but no one has ever been successful. |
