I'm not arguing one way or the other so don't flame me...

I'm just asking why its considered unacceptable

Like in real world wars people hire mercs, what makes it bad on Roblox?

You're paying money to win over a virtual game.

Ive worked a few jobs as a merc. I see no problem with it. The groups I work for usually don't have a very good average skill level. I lead a few raids, and train up their most competent troops to lead.

Ive enjoyed it a lot, I get to kill a whole ton of people. Sometimes making a friend or two. The last group I worked with, I taught a guy that had actual autism. He thought he had no chance of improving. Now he can fight, and lead. Just needed a little direction.

Doing that is fine, but getting paid for it is the part I don't like.


I've been doing that with a lot of groups- just that I don't get paid for it and it just increases their skill level.

when you declare war you are looking to fight a clan battle, not a battle of the leader with the most money to spend on mercs.

in real life, people's "bases" are as unfair as the defending side could possibly make them. not acceptable on roblox though right?

when you war a clan you want to fight the actual memberbase of the clan for a more accurate measurement of skill

@False I understand, I ended up quitting and giving lessons for free when I got the time.
Still do sometimes.

@Insta I haven't fought in any wars as a merc. Only won some raids mainly to show them how to lead. I couldn't take pay just for fighting people. Ill fight for free, just ask. I spent time with his troops to improve them mainly.

nothing wrong with paying people to raid with you and train your members, but I believe it's crossing the line when you do it during a war (unless you and the other side agree it's allowed)

you declare war on groups that you think will be fun to war
instantly it's no longer fun when a load of top people join and mess it all up for one side...

it's not showing how good the clan actually is

@Insta I agree completely. We see it a lot in Vaktovia. We go to fight a specific group, and the same people hop clans to defend against us. We like to fight the people, but we also like to give other groups a chance to fight, and have some fun with them.

It's stupid with groups like VAK though.


VAK starts raiding a group like RAT okay?
People start leaving groups and joining RAT.
They kill the activity in the groups they left, and they start drowning out the activity in the group they join because none of the actual members could actually defend.
VAK then moves onto the next group to start raiding and these people leave RAT, thus killing the activity since they're all thinking "oh those try-hards will defend" etc. and start killing off other groups.


People should just pick one group and always stay loyal to that group.

Its supposed to be a clan vs clan, not the stregnth of the leader's wallet.

You guys do know robux is virtual though, saying they are spending virtual money to win over a virtual game isnt a real problem.

first off stop comparing real world wars to roblox, i don't even know where to start on how wrong that is

but mainly the reason why is one of the biggest factors of this community is competitiveness, not much people play just for the sake of playing anymore, most people play because they want to strive to beat others. If the competitive aspect of clans was removed and people literally just raided each other without purpose the game would get boring fast and people would stop playing. The whole ''im better than u XDD'' is why this side of the game has survived so long

so basically when someone hires mercs it kind of removes the goal behind beating a clan, because it isn't the clan your fighting, it's just some temporary tryhards payed for with robux, hence why people dislike it
