Recently, it has become more and more apparent to me that the Roblox developers (David Baszucki, etc) are only in it for the money. This is obvious for more than a few reasons. A few days before Tix was removed, I had a couple thousand saved up from place visits. Personally, I was enraged that I had lost that much currency I had earned through hard work. Now what, do they expect everyone to buy robux or BC? Do they expect the less fortunate players who are new to roblox to have to waste hundreds of dollars on RB to add items to their inventory? What do the game developers get for making a successful place? A pat on the back? WHY?! I find it completely ridiculous that roblox removed Tix as a currency. The reason the devs want you to believe they removed tix:

"Although familiar to many of us, they are confusing to first-time users. We believe removing tickets will simplify our product in all areas, from the UI to the catalog to user-accounting. We have many things in store for the majority of ROBLOX players who do not want to become involved with the ROBUX economy."

Hmm, so you made buying things from the catalog or earning anything at all difficult...in order to simplify things??? Forget about logic, apparently. Greed is widespread throughout the ROBLOX staff anymore, and I'm sick of it. It's time every player, age 8 to whatever old age you can imagine stood up for their wellbeing. Then again, it's a corporation of greed and set up for personal benefit, so not even millions of voices would sway the greedy developers in their golden towers.
It's obvious that roblox is on its way to becoming a pay to play game.
I will now officially boycott robux purchases, catalog transactions, and sales.
>Side note: 90% tax on tshirts? How much greed is rooted into the minds of these shallow creator?

You are right. Im 11 and I got this cruddy tix removal update ON MY BIRTHDAY! WOW! Im a dev and I dont give a living crap about money. Making games isnt about money, its about putting memories in the hearts of adults and children. Remember using the gravity gun in Half-Life 2? Or rocket jumping in Quake Arena?
I hold those memories near and dear, but my best gaming memory was when I was 4 years old, and I played my first game. Halo 3
See? THIS is what devs should be doing. Not bathing in money!
Support all the way for ya man. Support all the way

This isn't really a suggestion nor an idea.

I do however agree with it.

Mods will probably take this down for trying to start a boycott which would harm the website.

Also, just play BLOXCITY once the Games finally come out of you're that done with ROBLOX. It's basically a ROBLOX clone and since it's early in development you might have a bigger say in how it grows, so it won't make the same mistakes.

But still, BLOXCITY is in no way able to compete with ROBLOX currently, but they might start a trend. If it grows, ROBLOX might finally have to listen to its players.

@TheUnpaidIntern
I would rather use 5 dollars for a charity, or something, instead of a membership that will make me rich. Literally the only people that disagree with posts are people that have BC, or something, because they're not effected by this update, until there BC expires :p

just leave ROBLOX if you cant handle paying 6 bucks a month
your boycott wont do anything when they delete your account for "interfering the ROBLOX buisness

@Legoboy BC players are also heavily effected by this update. No free revenue = No money to afford stuff that BC players make, and we can't profit very easily from them. Also with place visit revenue removed, it makes it a lot harder for us to earn money that's much more than our daily robux.
