Back in the 2006 - 2011 era of ROBLOX, people wanted to build all sorts of cool and crazy stuff. Like a game where you could fly on a dragon and raise it into adulthood. Or a game where you fight people by shooting crazy-powerful deadly bars of fire at them. A game where you have to fight on bouncy pads. A game where you keep getting flipped upside down and all over the place. The list goes on and on. Old ROBLOX was crazy and fun. You could do anything you wanted to do in less than a day. What do people want to build on ROBLOX nowadays? Nothing but boring generic shooters and extremely boring hangout places. I'll give places like ROBLOXian Water Park a pass because it's at least really well-made and one of the best-looking games on ROBLOX and there's actually more to do than just pretend that you're an underpaid fast-food worker, but still. This is one of the main reasons I don't really like ROBLOX's new direction.

TL;DR, and not worth my time. Lectures and rants like this are not needed here in ATR.
Just to clarify, people build better things nowadays.

I completely agree with you. I don't really look for good games on the front page anymore. I go searching around people's favorites and find good games and showcases.

@hussan1234
This is neither, what is your point for being on here anyway if you're just going to say TL;DR

In 2011 all I remember were obbies and tycoons filling 99% of the front page.
And we have a lot of variety on the front page. Just look and search. Each game is presentable and looks very professional. You have rescue games, shooter games, survival games, FUN obbies, interactive games, JAWS games, non-misleading games and just good games in general. I believe you may suffer from nostalgia.

Since when was reading paragrapghs considered obsolete and a waste of time? How lazy are people these days.

2008 actually. I don't think the game has been around since 08 though might have been another place before it. I don't remember it back then.

Paragraphs*.
And just as a clarification, paragraphs are not obsolete or a waste of time... depending on the topic.
Do you think I care about a rant? Will it change the direction earth rotates? No. Is it important? No. Will it stop Donald Trump from becoming president? No.
It's just a lecture given on the internet about a virtual time, why bother reading?

Everyone always assumes that the only reason I liked older ROBLOX was because "you only thought that there was less noobs and the graphics were cooler and it's just nostalgia and bla bla bla" but no, that's not it. THIS is why. I love modern ROBLOX's advanced graphics and much better studio system, and I love all the new customization for your character. The main thing I don't like about modern ROBLOX is what games are considered popular nowadays, and what games people like to build. Modern ROBLOX has way more potential than old ROBLOX did, yet people only want to build the same boring stuff over and over again. Old ROBLOXians had much less to work with, yet they managed to make some really great stuff.

@Robloxroc
Do you actually bother typing up such a TL;DR response which probably the majority of all viewers of the thread won't review/read, not even give an opinion about it?
Harshly sounding but I can vouch for the fact that this is TL;DR and a rant ALMOST no-one will care about. Quite frankly, you wasted your time.

And yes, I do know that ROBLOX's front page took a big decline around late 2011, and it stayed this way all the way until 2014. It was nothing but poorly-built stolen misleading broken games. So I actually do consider the new front page an improvement over that, but it's still kind of boring. Ever notice how the front page barely ever changes at all? In 2008 the front pages changed like every week. It's all thanks to that new fluid front page they added.

@hussan
Listen here, you little brat. If you don't care SO much about this thread, then how about you leave here and never come back before things start getting ugly and this whole thing declines into a flame war?

In an honest way, nowadays in ROBLOX developers receive more features and tools (e.g dynamic lighting that might not be that recent, smooth terrain, particle emitters, etc) to enhance and advance their style of building.
Games now have a better architecture, structure and etc. Other miscellaneous things like LUA, scripting and other things enhance the UI (user interface) too.
In my opinion you're wrong.

I come to ATR to not extinguish flame wars, but start a forest fire in ATR to observe it while feasting on popcorn, I guess it's cannibalism: I'm a popcorn too.
Also, read my other responses which are actually relevant to the thread.

That's typical and natural for humans.
We all have nothing to do in reality. We have the privilege and right of criticizing though!
You just criticized me without realizing.

If you actually took time to read my responses instead of saying "tl;dr this thread is stupid" a million times, you'd understand that I do like all the new features and potential that ROBLOX studio has nowadays. I even clearly stated that I prefer the much more detailed and beautiful look of some games nowadays. I just don't like the kind of games that this potential is being put towards.
