http://blog.roblox.com/2016/03/saying-goodbye-to-tickets/

When roblox says it's not a cash-grab, says they have enough money, and their not removing TIX to earn more money. And then literally every event since then has been sponsored by nerf or some other garbage, and then they won't even make player-made clothing free again, or give us free stuff that isn't sponsored. Man, totally not cash-grab, I really like these new changes and absolutely love how roblox runs the website now⸮

It doesn't even bother me that they got rid of TIX, it's the fact that they hide that they hide that all these changes are totally not to milk money from the playerbase. If it totally wasn't even a cash-grab, they'd give us Non-dev and Non-sponsored events, and make clothes free again. It is absolutely ridiculous that roblox has done this.

"every event since then has been sponsored by nerf or some other garbage"

actually the companies come to roblox for these events. it'd be stupid if roblox turned them down

"and make clothes free again."

clothing hasn't been free for a long time, the price floor came way before tix were removed


this is also their site, not yours.

Literally all the time ROBLOX makes sponsored or dev events- Is what I mean. But hey, you're right.

When I said "make clothes free again" I meant that if you're going to take the only source of consistent free currency from a game, at least give us something back.

I'm not a professional or anything in sites and companies, but I'd think if Roblox made a change that upset the playerbase and made almost everyone quit, they'd change back and hope that the players come back. Running a game isn't a "We do something that you don't like, but you're still going to play" type of thing. It's a "We do something bad that you don't like, we change it because we don't want to lose money"

Your points are valid though, I just decided to throw out this post because it was bugging me for some time. I am pretty damn stupid though, so please enlighten me more.

After the price-floor update, tix has been useless ever since.

Honestly I agreed with ROBLOX's decision with the removal of TIX.

Tickets as I have said previously before on my last post, was useless after the price-floor update which has, rendered tickets useless (again).

People would say that "ROBUX WOULD BE GREAT FOR A LOGIN BONUS" when as quoted from the ROBLOX BLOG, "would make it even more attractive to create alts and bots" which means more spam and etc.

ROBLOX even said it themselves, they want to create a better platform for users of all ages.
They want to create a simpler platform.

The only thing I hope they continue to do is make log in achievements (They had done April or March Gifts for the farewell of tickets) which would be a great replacement for tickets.

Tix has been useless. But that's not quite really what I wanted to have my topic on. I want to know why they don't give us something for free- that isn't sponsored if they truly aren't cash-grabbing. I'm actually regretting posting this. But oh well. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯



-This is why I have an alt to post all my stupid thoughts.

They actually are giving us something free,

ROBLOX entirely excluding having to buy something from ROBLOX.

Even if you didn't or couldn't buy anything from roblox, you could have a good experience w/o the chat or if the people in your game are friendly.

You can't forget about the gifts they gave out when you did a certain things and got prizes.

ROBLOX is even giving free shirts out from events, gears, and hats.

I agreed with the removal of TIX too. I'm just pointing that they said they're not cash grabbing. I mean my points aren't too valid, but they still haven't given us anything back that we can earn and not pay for. And even then, remember last years Halloween? It was a garbage nerf event that didn't even work half the time. It's literally all just dev-game. Roblox just throws out prizes because you know, totally not cash-grabbing because their giving away "cool" and "hip" stuff.

Still, ROBLOX is at least giving effort for what they are trying to do with the community.

They are possibly trying to relate to the community.

You're totally on the right, i'm just going on now because I just can't really understand why they don't really allow people to give away their own creations for free.

Oh my god, this conversation finally happened and someone finally said what was on my mind.

THANK YOU ROOKIE FOR SAYING IT ALL.

Though on the point before of "No free items" you can technically get stuff via monthly events by playing games. Usually those vary in quality but you can always pick up some decent items. Good examples right now that are obtainable are the slick shades in Hallows Eve Freeze Tag, and the Vampire Mask & Zombie Potion in the BloxTober game.

Even if some of them have obnoxious name tagging, a few are notabley hidden or can be covered up.

Everyone knows that the insane amount of extra revenue from tickets being devEX'd were making them lose money.

A company like ROBLOX won't admit to that.

Yeah, it's rare in a community like ROBLOX.

I love this site but it's true.

Maybe stuff takes a while to implement, Roblox recently has been pushing back a lot of things recently for fixes/leveling them out.
