(Notice Before Reading: This Rant Contains Questionable Humor and Sarcasm. Do Not Take Everything Said in This Rant 100% Seriously. Thank You)
Funny story, right? So while I was 17, which means my parents could ground me and crap (Sadly, They Still do Since I'm an Unemployed 18 Year Old Bum), they grounded me from my computer for three months. No big deal. But here's the thing: During those three months, the CEO of Roblox and his lapdog, whoever that is, decided that "Hey, we need more money to scam from little kids! How can we do that?" If you've been playing Roblox for a long time, you will know that every major update they do to the game, makes the game suck even more. So you know what they do? They turn to the guy who makes the ABSOLUTE WORST ideas for making updates and ask him, "Hey Joe (For Example), do you have any bright ideas?" "Why sure Telamon, you know I have the best ideas! Let's make it so that only Builders Club users can actually buy items!" "But Joe, that's the most rediculas idea that I have ever heard!" "Nonsense my severely close friend! You see, what if we made it so that users can't use Tix? What if we made it so that users don't even recieve tix? Let's just say, only BC members would be able to actually obtain Robux then!" "My GOD Joe, you're a freaking Genius!"
Now, I know that's not how the meeting went. Well, I hope, but you get the idea.
In a recent update, Roblox decided to take Tix off the menu. Now, for the majority of Roblox users on here, you tell me. Does it sound fair that only BC members can get all the cool gear? Like sure, it wasn't fair to begin with, having to save up your Tix for six months just to buy an expensive hat or gear, or some donation shirt that some greedy noob decided to sell for 10,000,000 Tix. But really, does that sound fair at all? If you answered "Yes", then reevaluate your morals! Jesus Christ. No, of course it's not fair!
Now, why did Roblox decide to take off the Tix? Well, it's obvious. It's because they're greedy, and they want more people to purchase their membership. But hang on, let's see what Roblox has to say for themselves. Perhaps there is a good reason for them taking off the tix?
"The ticket bonus for place visits has become a very small factor to most developers relative to the ROBUX economy"
"We do not want to incentivize people to “check in” every day"
"it removes the incentive to create alt accounts"
"The impetus behind removing tickets is not to make more money"
Okay Roblox, now let's challenge those quotes. First of all, if you're me and you're cheap, you would totally disagree with this first quote. If you're me, you will come to know that people visiting your place is one of the best ways to earn Tix! You don't get any Robux, so you heavily rely on Tix. People visiting your place is a great way to get Tix, and believe me, it was NOT a small factor! Sorry rich people, but the poor Robloxians are actually more greatful for three extra tickets a day more than you are, you spoiled kids.
Second of all, HELL YES I am going to check in every damn day to get Tix. I mean, there's nothing wrong with that! And it's nothing I feel obligated to do, and I imagine there's others that feel the same. However, I do know that some users feel obligated to check in everyday to get their daily bonus. However, to Hell with them. If that's what they want to do, then let them. There is nothing wrong with checking in to Roblox once a day for 0.5 seconds just to get your daily reward.
Third of all, Mate, do you really think people make alt accounts just for more Tix? Or do you think that they make alt accounts because you keep banning the poor children for your highly picky rules? I understand the rules, but true story, okay? Like five years ago, I was banned for saying to someone "You have to [ROOSTER] the rifle and then shoot it". Now, I didn't say "Rooster" but if you're smart, you'll understand what I actually said. Leaving that there, yes, the rules are very, very picky. and strict. I have a total of five alt accounts just because of how stern these rules are, even though I technically didn't even say anything bad! Shame on you Roblox for thinking dirtier than me!
And lastly, for that last quote, YOU ARE SO FULL OF CRAP. Democrats and Republicans make up better lies than that Roblox, come on! You really believe that you're not doing this because you don't want to "force" kids into buying your membership? I know this is a kid's game, but come on, you shouldn't have to lie to your audience like that. So the fact Roblox lied about their greed, just makes the game completely untrustworthy. And trust me, the game will get worse as time goes on, all because of freaking Joe. Daaaaamn Joe, back at it again with the crappy Roblox updates!
So you tell me, for all the reasons Roblox provided for removing their Tix, do you REALLY think that they're being honest? Even if some of their claims are correct, do you really think that's the main reason why they removed the Tix? Roblox is literally feeding you guys crap, and you're just going to sit around and take it? Honestly, if I had the power to make every 8-year-old that plays this game to take me seriously, I would start a rebellion towards Roblox. However, I also know that this is a kids game, and if I don't like it, I don't have to play it. Don't get me wrong, I love Roblox! It's a fun game to play, and watch all the little kids get PO'd when you keep spawnkilling them. However, there is a lot of things wrong with Roblox that they should fix INSTEAD of making it far worse!
Now, look at Roblox back in 2010 compared to 2016. A lot more users were happy with Roblox back in 2010 than they are now in 2016. -And really, am I the only one who thinks that every single major update that Roblox decides to make, just makes the game less enjoyable to play?
Now, if there is a Roblox admin, CEO, or just some bum that works for the corporation that's reading this, take my claims seriously and try to make the game great again (Trump Slogan, Lol).
To make Roblox Great again, the very first thing we need to do is re add in the Tix. For God's sake, bring the Tix back! Secondly, fire Joe for all the crappy updates! There is honestly a lot that the developers of Roblox can do to make this game great again, but knowing Roblox, they're not going to do that. Money is far more important to them than the enjoyment of the users and the game. You know what Roblox is going to turn out like? It's going to end up like the older World of Warcraft games. Now going off topic for a brief moment: You guys know that huge server that a lot of people played on that was shut down by the WoW company? And everyone was sincerely PO'd about it? Well, now that's what Roblox is going to be like in the future; they're going to take more and more away from their own game, so that users feel more obligated to purchase their membership, just to benefit for themselves.
If you don't see this, you are blind man! Just blind. But I think that this rant has gone on for long enough. So in conclusion, Roblox is a republican, and no one likes Joe. That's right Joe, everyone here hates you.

Finally, someone who doesn't blindly suck up to ROBLOX. Removing tix was greedy and you know it.

Well it isn't too much of an issue right now but they have valid reasons.
ROBLOX is getting pretty huge and they need lots of money to run servers so that people like you can play fun games made by creators. The way the can get money is from membership and/or robux purchasing. With tix people just spammed in others people's comments got their tix, traded them and made a lazily executed profit and people weren't really buying robux as often. Now that ROBLOX basically depends on Robux now people will either have to purchase them, actually make games and profit,nor just deal with it or quit ROBLOX. |

| If you make a game you should add multiple features only accessible through game passes or dev products so that people pay you robux and it actually works. |

It's normal for companies to lie. They don't want to worry users.
