Dear Roblox,

Hey! It's me, Miles! What's that, you don't remember me? I'm one of the people you ban on a constant basis just for giving our own opinion on games or updates here on the forums! No? Am I describing over 5 million people? Eh, screw it. You don't need to remember me, you don't really care. I don't believe that you care about anyone on your website, as a matter of fact.

Case in point, your recent and future updates.

Just recently, you have added an update that sounded good on paper, but was poorly executed. the server updates. you understood the robot account problem, so you decided to try and fix it. Long story short, you disabled the ability to join a server that did not have your friends in it. now, that SOUNDS good, robots can't join a server they choose and friend everyone to spam them! foolproof, right?

well, there are two major problems you forgot to consider. 1.) your playerbase.

You forgot to ask them if this was a good idea, or if they wanted this update at all to begin with. as you can see, nobody wanted this update, but you enforced it on us without permission.

and the problem that you overlooked,

2.) you didn't check that the bots ALREADY HAD HUNDREDS OF FRIENDS.

that's right, the bots already had friends to begin with, so when this update rolled around, it only made this job EASIER. have you ever heard of the 6 degrees of separation? well, this is the very thing you overlooked when making this update. Bots can now friend each other, go to different games and friend everyone they can, then go to another server, rinse and repeat, until you can basically see every server again. this is a situation of if it aint broke, don't fix it. us players when we went to a big and popular game, there would obviously be bots. you would be considered the unluckiest if you had 15 bot requests. but NOW, you would be considered LUCKY if you had 30 bot requests upon entering a SINGLE GAME. I know for sure that i'm not the only one, but i'm on the worse side. i haven't even been playing for over a week, and i have 297 BOTS IN MY FRIEND REQUESTS.

the fact that this update created an inconvenience for players and gave bots the high ground made me and most players want to quit.

***********************

In a few days, you are going to merge the forums together and make a big sloppy mess. the forums will be forever active, everything bad about each forums will be put together and multiplied, absolutely NOTHING GOOD will come out of it, and yet, you are not taking the player's advice of NOT DOING IT!(you have so much to live for)

this alone makes me and a big portion of your community want to leave, and never come/look back.

***********************
***********************
so, enforcing a broken update on us was the jump in the ditch, the forum merge will be the nail in the coffin... what could be next?

Cremation.

just take a look at those avatars. just one look. This is not roblox. this is not what we played 9 years and payed over 100 dollars on over. even if, and it's the biggest IF, IF the characters turn out perfect, it would not be roblox. me and 90% of your playerbase will quit without reasoning if you add this.

***********************
***********************

So, Roblox. if you are reading this, please listen to your community. only make changes that we approve of, and there would be no backlash. if you keep this up, all that will be left of this website will be a lost memory, an abandoned project like AoTTG, and a speck of dust that used to be your playerbase.

Sincerely,

Miles.

*edit, forum merge happened, and inb4, "inb4 ban," which is tru because of broken and unfair moderation. it's like north korea over here.

"In a few days, you are going to merge the forums together and make a big sloppy mess. the forums will be forever active"

How is this bad? This is great because there are more users to engage with and ton of variety.


"This is not roblox. this is not what we played 9 years and payed over 100 dollars on over. even if, and it's the biggest IF, IF the characters turn out perfect, it would not be roblox. me and 90% of your playerbase will quit without reasoning if you add this."

Why would 90% of the player base quit because of something optional? You can either use it or not use it. Just stick with R6 or R15. Not everything can stay the way you want it, they have to try out different things and see how much of an impact it can make on the games, site, etc.

I worded it wrong. When I put variety, I meant different types of users from different communities.

Have you seen anyone OFF of the forums care about the server update? And I'm talking average players who aren't in any war groups.

As for the forum update, the forums make up about 10% of ROBLOX's total playerbase. Even if every single forumer quit, there wouldn't be a dent in ROBLOX's numbers.

"only make changes that we approve of"

ROBLOX has absolutely NO obligation to make updates that "players approve of", and if you're arrogant enough to think that, you need to leave the website. They do not answer to you, YOU answer to THEM as you're the one who agreed to the terms and conditions of the website when you signed up.

it's not even about them being enforced, it's the fact that they exist. when 3.0 was announced, and people didn't want it, it's because it would be the new "Noob" look. it looks ugly now, but it's more of an inconvenience. but if i start to see anthro avatars in games like roblox waterpark and work at a pizza place... just, no.

Support, those who actually defend Roblox's awful decisions are just sheep that can't tell you why they support something but just tell you to 'deal with it'.
