Yes, if you do this, it will make everyone allot happier & the community and we will be willing to spend more money on this site because ever since TIX was removed, you had a few sponsors and hasn't the Fruity Pebbles one been going on for a month now?

No Support.
It's helped the economy by keeping TIX away.
Plus, barely anyone used them.
Just your average guy from '09. |

Yeah, people who converted it into RBX and people who wanted to gain money. It was an actual fluctuating economy but now us NBCers can't buy anything due to the fact they did remove TIX. It wasn't a bad thing tbh. ROBLOX survived with it so there's no reason why they should've removed it.

Their logic is sound.
They're providing you with free gear, shirts, and hats on a regular basis.
Its also a means to get you to buy a giftcard for 10 bucks to buy robux.

they were paid to make all of them though and everyone that wears them is just a walking billboard to advertise whatever cereal is being revived this month, hence promotional items. not to mention how they all look like absolute garbage with logos plastered over every flat surface
"Its also a means to get you to buy a giftcard for 10 bucks to buy robux."
I'm actually less inclined to give roblox my money after this update and I'm sure as hell not going to publicly shame myself by buying physical roblox goods |

@ Lite - I know.
This is a new model they're trying with 1 thing in mind: More profit.
If it fails, they'll go back to the old system.

no they won't. most of roblox's community doesn't realize or doesn't care what a scummy change in business practice this is after having free cosmetics for 8 years so they'll just cave instantly and buy bc |

You don't gain more money by giving more opportunities for free stuff when it could be paid for
There's not even any evidence that they're "financially struggling", it's just something people pulled out of their rear to smear ROBLOX because they have so many sponsors
They have so many sponsors because they make a ton of extra money in addition to the revenue they already receive from currency & membership purchases. Businesses like extra money.
Tix aren't coming back and they were useless, deal with it |

- Then you're making my original point.
You're getting free shirts, hats and gear now.
From a business pov, its a brilliant decision.
More users will request Giftcards for birthdays / xmas because of it - and roblox is banking on it.
As far as freebees via tix in the past - roblox never owed anyone anything.

being more profitable doesn't make it any less of a garbage change meant to shake down players if they want to customize their character with anything other than the 12 hats and 9 shirts provided for free, you know?

Yeah, I have to agree Litemare that even though ROBLOX is getting profit from these companies, it doesn't make this a scummy business practice. I will NOT give my money to a corporation which tries to make children cave in to give in and I definitely will NOT support these sponsors. As far as I'm concerned, ROBLOX is already pretty bad but they're still alive. Want to know why? Because of ignorant people not being aware of what they're doing and caving in.
I almost caved in and in-fact, I wanted BC but I would just be another ignorant fool for buying into their product. Unless they change their ways, I'm not spending anything on this site.

Lemme explain why they 'want' the money
the servers that they're running cost multitudes of dollars to continue running, not only that, but they pay the non-volunteering employees, as its the employees job to make sure nothing goes wrong.
To say the least, i think it is justified to give them money in exchange for the ability to earn robux for either an entire month or even 6 months for that matter, if anything, those who are complaining about having to purchase robux instead of getting it for free are the demanding ones.
but i can at least agree on the subject of lack of actual proper clothing for the non-BC people, although we do have the free clothing section.
TD;LR, I'd like to see YOU, run a website, and see if you don't end up shutting down, thanks to the lack of donations, and not paying for the server bill. |

Corporations model the sociopath mindset. Its the nature of business.
Some facts:
New limiteds often come out in crappy colors with high quantities to keep values down (supply/demand)
Low item values = more will sell for robux, which keeps inflation down on larger items b/c less roblox is circulating.
From a business perspective - 'sponsored' free items are brilliant and generate revenue. The said movie producers pay roblox and in turn get advertising.
-------------------------- SUMMARY
There are 2 arguments here:
A) Roblox removed tix and to protest I'm not buying BC or giftcards.
B) Roblox is a corporation maximizing profits that owes you nothing and can do whatever they want.
Both are correct. |

Tix was being abused and the visit system for the games was being abused because people were making a bunch of alts and making the alts visit the place so they can get a bunch of tix. Even though I am NBC, I feel fine about Roblox removing Tix. A lot of people have gotten over the update os how about you get over it. Besides, I didn't really use my tix anyway in the first place.
