Below is a detailed explanation of why tickets should be kept on ROBLOX! ROBLOX is listening, yes? Then this should strike some reasoning into why removing the tickets will be harmful to the biggest part of ROBLOX: the NBC members who make up our community!

NO TIXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION!

TIX LIVES MATTER!

------------------------------------------------

tl;dr version placed at the bottom for those who have trouble reading

------------------------------------------------

This ticket removal benefits no one! From those who have massive ticket gain to the "noobies" who have just joined the game, ROBLOX desires to remove the one form of free currency we have. Those who gain tickets quickly and don't want them can easily convert them to robux using the current system; however, the precious NBC players who make up 50% or more of the ROBLOX fanbase are now stuck and forced to pay real money just to clothe themselves. The younger generation, those who will eventually replace all of us, will be limited as to what they can buy and those with the inability to purchase BC or pay for robux will forever be locked with only free items. Since all the shirts will be converted to robux only and the daily ticket login bonus would be removed, this means that all those poor little 3.0's won't be able to afford proper clothes made by the community built by paying customers. ROBLOX promises to make free clothing, but how many free things can they throw out there to provide for thousands of new players all wanting to look unique and diverse? Not enough! Although reducing the clothing prices would be a major benefit, most players wouldn't be willing to spend their hard earned money when they can just steal and copy the shirt.

The removal of the only free currency on ROBLOX will only create more scamming sites that these newer members will be susceptible to. There will also be an increase in the amount of fake information when trying to get BC and robux. This will only cause problems for ROBLOX too!

More questions continue to arise such as: "What will replace the player visit earnings? "What benefit does removing the tickets give?" "What do you plan to implement that will outweigh the loss of this games one and only free currency?"

ROBLOX always claims to be about the people, thinking about their fanbase from all angles and trying to provide quality content. But how does removing a players sole source of free income benefit anyone? It won't be any easier to gain robux without tickets, and tickets provide a way to get free robux! Helping out budding new players and starter game developers. Considering that new players take up the majority of the ROBLOX population (as seen by the sharp increase of 3.0 characters wearing default clothing) it is obvious that the tickets are needed. They provide insight to have the game is run and give a starting base for these players to work with. The lack of this age old currency so far as only been see to be full of cons. Sure, by removing tickets bots will no longer have a source of income, but what is a few bots own by players compared to thousands who will not be forced to spend real life money just to buy a t-shirt on a game?

From a marketing standpoint, ROBLOX will gain big bucks for doing this essentially forcing NBC players who want to look different than everyone else to spend their parents money. But how long will the come last when it is completely pay-to-win? The argument may be that Builders Club members have always had the upperhand when it comes to owning currency, but at least the NBC players had something to look forward to. Now not even logging in is a benefit to them. By removing tickets, you strip the ability for new players to progress.

It is agreed that some games give players the ability to customize themselves; however, this is only a select few. Games like tycoons, war games, building games, and more do not provide this service. Essentially it's okay to remove free currency because you can gain in-game currency and clothing? That in-game currency does not travel anywhere else! It is stuck in that one game and disappears upon leaving the server.

------------------------------------------------

tl;dr: noobs are too poor to buy clothes. no benefit to anyone. increases theft of accounts. loss of history. no support for starting players. achievement system pointless, it can't buy things.

------------------------------------------------

No tixation without representation! I want to see a vote or poll that concludes that ROBLOX as a whole wishes to remove tickets, not just the whim of a company wanting more money! ROBLOX claims to listen to it's community, lets see if we can get this horrid Ticket Removal Act of 2016 abolished!

UNITE AGAINST THE OPPRESSION!

@thelegoboy8732489: Tickets were last year, and the year before that, and the year before that, and the year before that... Do you see a similarity here? When you first joined you start off with tickets. You most likely don't make games. I make tickets off of these games that I use to run ads or purchase clothing. I also use this money to fund groups so that NBC players can get clothing.

Why fix something that isn't broken? Especially if by 'fixing' it, you'll only break it more!

Yes I did hear about that. However, unless you're some massive game maker or happen to be amazing at making uniforms (or you know how to trade) you can't make any money unless you buy it. Meaning, if you want to buy anything with robux, you first have to put real money into your account.

I agree!

We should have had a say in this. After all, we are all the community of ROBLOX. This is a HUGE step, just removing a form of currency.

One does not simply remove one of two forms of currency.

Roblox said you will be getting prizes for playing games I think but it doesn't really feel like accomplishing anything. Like I'm just playing a game that is boring then I leave and it says "you got a prize or whatever idk!" Which doesn't really feel like anything. Also I feel accomplished or happy when I buy stuff on Roblox. If it will be free I will just "buy" all the free stuff and I will be like ah whatever I will just get all of this random stuff watevs. NBC are most of Roblox like, 75 percent or idk so if Roblox gets rid of all the Tix all the NBCs will have nothing but to play and get prizes or something. BC always had more benefits and always will so if they get rid of Tix NBCs will have NOTHING but just buy free stuff while BC still get their Robux which will wipe out the NBC I think just like throwing away a Mcdonalds meal after eating it. But some NBC will stay because they believe they will still have fun. They economy has just gotten tighter. NBC will only buy free stuff, BC selling shirts or pants wouldn't get anything, and NBC will have a limit to customization as they stare at those rich BCs as the NBC just, I guess fall. Apart. Tix is pretty much doomed and will be thrown into the lava pit but maybe there is another way.

@Dabbled: I replied to your rebuttal with my own. I feel like it's a good way to get both sides out and would like to continue it.

@Ethanhg06: Exactly. By removing an NBC member's only form of currency, ROBLOX limits them to their free items and the possibility of MAYBE certain other players POSSIBLY posting something for free. (There was something mentioned about particular players being able to post things for free and getting and achievement badge for it, but it never specifies how/who/when.) The only way for an NBC member to get around this would be to buy BC or robux.

Support, this will also make the game even less profitable for developers.

Without the ability for NBCs to trade their tickets to ROBUX, they won't be able to buy lower priced gamepasses/developer products. This literally helps nobody. The only reason for this given by ROBLOX amounts to "Our top developers have too many of them and they don't like it."

Boo hoo.

Those top developers can turn their tickets into robux if they're that concerned about it. Maybe if ROBLOX put out more ticket based items, we wouldn't be having this problem.

I mean like, just because the top developers are so rich that they don't know what to do with their money, doesn't mean it should harm everyone else by their decision. The top developers are like the 1%. They hold the majority of ROBLOX wealth but only make up a very tiny percentage of the community. Their "I have too much money" problems shouldn't harm everyone else.

you act like the developers are part of a secret organization that wants to strip every single player of their money

you realize updates are the admins doing, right?

This isn't "Horrid",it will actually help.Price floors are going to be lowered to 5 Robux,that's not that much,It will bring in more money for robux,and they can put it towards future updates on the site,tix messes up the rate of trade,and now we won't need to trade anymore,and I honestly know that Roblox will make it that Nbc's get atleast 1 Robux every day,if not,then just buy Bc.

"petitions on roblox have literally never worked"

adding "petition" to the front of a thread title literally does not change it

s&i is ALL petitions

when someone says "support" they basically sign their name

when someone says "no support" they do not sign

every single thread on s&i are petitions

The tix removal is a bad idea. For players like me, trade currency is how we make income. With 20 Tix, we can use spreads and other stuff to come out with 30. Tix removal takes away my income. Many other players do this. ROBLOX abandoned us for their own selfish desires. ROBLOX is destroying the community and the devs are taking over against their will. ROBLOX loves the devs too much, and if they continue, nobody will play their games.

The Future Of ROBLOX:
ROBLOX: Are you a dev?
You: No?
ROBLOX: *bans*

I completely agree. Tix was the only way to get robux and now nbc members like me cant get anything without paying real money, which i won't pay. Tix was... better times (can't figure out how to phrase that) WE NEED TIX BACK!
