From what I read, it's because people made Trade Currency Bots that would trade Robux to a main account. However, if I recall properly, both parties need BC to trade. So if bots were not likely to have BC purchased for their accounts, would it really be worth it to have those bots? Were there actually Trade Currency bots?

I think it was more like people made a bunch of alt accounts and just transfer the daily tix bonus to their main accounts

But didn't you need BC to trade, or was there a separate feature for donating tix?

You could just add a gear to your place and have an alt buy it. Much of the money went to Roblox, but when you've got a lot (and i mean a LOT) of alts, you could be rich in no time.

But wouldn't the alts need robux first? And around the time of removal it was 22:1 tix:bux.

anyone can use TC
you're confusing hat trade with ticket exchange

Roblox's reasons were a load of crap and we all know it.


we all know that all they care about is squeezing us like a snake until every penny is dripped out of our wallets.

the tc had too many bots
they'd just put up market requests and wait
some of those market requests were accidental trade snipes
stuff like giving 1 ticket to receive 1000 robux in case someone accidentally traded 1000 robux for 1 ticket
I'm pretty sure you can also use the possibility of having very specific trades to transfer money between free accounts
but the easier less risky way would be to have 1 account with bc to collect all the profit

"true, and they still haven't even delivered on their promises about letting people make their own gear and hats"
the mistake is that r15 is not fully developed custom hats and character items is an r15 feature
and not enough developers have adopted ingame character customization
they don't care about us so long as there's some way for us to adapt

@soap I know anyone could use TC but you were able to trade Robux through it too. I figured once the bot made robux they'd "gift trade" it to the main account

I've never heard of gift trading
for as long as I can remember the most widely used way of transferring robux between accounts was to use a donation tshirt or something

You could trade robux through hat trade. It would be alt puts up ROBUX and main doesn't put up anything

I don't believe that's a viable option
making a donation t shirt only requires 1 account to have bc
while hat trade requires 2 like you said
also you have to go through confirmations so it's a slower process
and you also have to convert currency to hats and hats back to currency, which would mean you would lose some value

Hat trade isn't against the rules.

Tix removal was done because it was old, had no significance (really, if you think about it..) and removing it would help the lost profits from tix botters. Tix botters as in people who would make place visit bots on their own place with several different alternate accounts.

It had nothing to do with TC, really. Before TC was removed, it was almost impossible to profit from it, and even if you ever did profit from it, it was rarely more than like 2 R$ each time.

Oh I see that clears things up
I've never bothered with limiteds
but still, it doesn't sound viable
the bc user would have to have a limited hat to sell first

they don't lose any profits from tix botters
they have ads, millions of BCer's [or hundreds of thousands]
a lot of hats are BC only and cost only robux
and you only make 1 robux for 20 place visits

No, trading ROBUX through trade has taxes. Selling the hat also has those taxes. Like I said, it was removed by place visit botters. You could rank in a massive amount of tix with a bunch of alts on VMs repeatedly visiting the same place over and over for weeks.

Yes they would. It would cause massive inflation, as the tix was being generated unfairly to them. This tix inflation would also harm R$ inflation, overall messing up the entire ROBLOX economy.

but at this point, the purpose of tix has become convoluted
you have people creating tons of accounts only for tix
