Don't get me wrong - there shouldn't be a Ticket or Robux reward for logging in. That straight-currency reward was easily abused by people making tons of alternate accounts. Removing the daily bonus for that reason was smart in that sense.
Where I see the problem is that there's no improved system to help users still have a form of "earning" a chance to customize their avatars. I think the freedom to do so should remain as an opportunity to non-paying users, even if it is limited. That's just me.
My idea would be to rather replace the login bonus with a form of a solid, nonexchangeable sort of "currency" that would end up being redeemed for a wearable item. Call it a "credit", "token", maybe even just a "point"... I think there has to be SOME incentive for users to log in every day and make that login count.
The one thing that new users lack now is the ability to customize their avatars in any way except to make themselves walking billboards with sponsorship items, after all. I believe if there's some sort of ROBLOX-run "Exchange" where these credits get turned in for nonspecial hats and clothing, then there'd be a reason for new users to keep coming back to the site and still have some customization to show for it.
So, think of a store page with maybe a dozen hats and shirts. Like, a basic baseball cap and there's three colors to choose from to buy, and it takes seven credits to buy one. Spend another seven credits on a matching jersey, and a user has at least some form of expression without dipping into a credit card within the first month they start playing the game.
I know the ROBLOX administrators want to reserve clothing creation to the users for the most part, which is okay, but I think there should be some beginning options available so new players aren't turned off by the choice of either purchasing something with cash or being a grey square forever.
Is there something I'm overlooking with this idea? I think it seems like something to maybe consider. |

Roblox is too lazy to make an incentive to log in.
They're busy making the homepage 4 squares and reverting it back.

I acctually think this is a decent idea. With tickets you could get robux stuff. But with this you are limited and have no reason to make alts. |

I'd also say this credit store could have some items circulating through it depending on the time of year; sunglasses in the summer, scarves in the winter maybe. One argument is that it'd take a lot of work to make all these clothing options for the users, but I think a couple hats retextured a few basic colors would be a decent array of options. |

I definitely support this idea. It is important for new users to keep on coming to ROBLOX and having a chance to earn currency.
Will the real PixelatedWaffles please stand up? |

This is a good idea. There should be no way to spend them on user made things like you were able to with Tix so people can't use alternate accounts to transfer the points to their other accounts unless ROBLOX approves of certain items.

pretty funny that this was the original idea of tix, before trade currency was implemented.

I wouldn't make any of the redeemable clothing purchasable with ROBUX, in the sense that all of the items would be something earned from logging in and keeping active, but who knows if taking shortcuts to obtain them is worth it or not? What I imagine are hats that are just too basic to want to spend precious funds on. |
