It crosses the limits of what ROBLOX stands for. I'll give you a wild hint: RO-BLOX. BLOX. I think you can see where I'm going with this.

Ever since they've been created new versions of terrain, it felt as if they're trying to be something that they're not. I liked how they constructed R15, despite the debate of it between players, it still have a ROBLOX feel to it. It was still something to work with and I think they should have left it at this.

Making the Anthro avatars is not only cringey, but the reasoning from it is absurd. At RDC, it was said:

"The avatar is great. But it doesn't kinda fit with what the terrain looks like."

That's the reason to make Anthropomorphic avatars? What? Just because of the terrain!? I would get why R6 doesn't blend into the terrain, but R15 takes the cake. Its added limbs is what makes it blend so well.

Thank god they're making this an option though. Here's a segment of all 3 avatars running at the same time:

I know people have already discussed their opinions, and I'm probably very late, but honestly, R15 is as realistic as they get. If they go beyond that, they might as well change the name of their company to something else.

@Designer

I totally agree with you, however making it optional doesn't fix the problem. It should just be scrapped.

Anthro is a bit creepy too, fits nicely into that "uncanny valley" range

I don't think it matters. Most people joined recently and won't remember older things. Its also pretty obvious they're not looking to take the players input, rather do what they think is best. I hope it fails. Although, eventually it'll probably become mainstream. R15 is becoming more and more popular especially since games like Jailbreak use it.

@2blaze

I like R15 though, and it seems like a lot of people share my opinion considering the amount of people who wear it on their profiles

I don't really have nothing against R15 either

My point is ROBLOX is going to push anthro whether or not the community cares

And since the majority of users are joined NOW (not in 2008-2013) new players who are wiping out older ones are going to get used to it

I'm not sure if it's going to be an avatar option for your profile actually as R15 is now
It looks like it's just going to be developer optional, and based on the collective reactions from the devforums the majority of Roblox's developers are either not supportive or skeptical about the change. They may not take average player feedback from the forums, but devs are their most valuable members of the community.
