tl;dr -- Tokens could be alternative of tix which couldn't be abused the way tix was!
**I didn't think of this idea** I am simply spreading the word since it has very good potential! (Slightly edited it though) Original Idea: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8wUyQbtdtg (By EverythingIsMacabre)
An alternative for tickets, could be a new currency which is called 'Tokens' and with this currency, it is not earned daily which means it cannot be botted or anything which was a massive issue with tickets and a lot being handed out to developers etc.
How could this be earned? It could be earned by playing games for a certain amount of time to earn tokens, say you played for 1 hour you would gain 1 token, 2 hours 2 tokens, and 10 tokens if you actually played on games for a total of 10 hours on that game (maximum you can earn) although many wouldn't reach 10 everyday the smaller numbers will eventually add up! If people cheated this idea slightly by going AFK in games then it wouldn't really matter all too much if you read on.
A separate part in the catalog could be named 'Token Items' or 'Token Rewards/Prizes' and basically instead of all the stuff from the ROBUX catalog you could spend it on small cool items in the Token Shop, maybe about 4-5 pages of token items with simple beanies, visors, caps for like 5 tokens to 50 for maybe really cool stuff like sword-packs which would require like 50 hours of play-time or even legendary stuff for 100 as 1 offs.
Why? New players nowadays are usually the typical "bacon hair" that you see who only get a small selection of FREE items which is about 15 items (not counting all the free t-shirts etc) This system would enable -
*Users to play longer (not a lot longer) but get some achievement out of it. *New players would start to look different rather than the typical bacon hair with aviator shades or whatever.
I have seen 2016 late users who still look like a user who joined yesterday, there has to be more items out there for them which not everyone will have but people will get to have a nice selection and save up for stuff.
Ideas for Token Catalog *Coloured ROBLOX Branded Hoodies/Jackets (shirt/pants) *Basic ROBLOX Branded Scarves *Seasonal Items available on Halloween/Christmas etc so they can have some more rare items! *Simple shades *Caps, beanies, visors.
You know, basic items but they enable a user to have more creativity rather than the outfit of 70% of the people in the game! Yeah, this system COULD be botted/abused however there's not much loss and there's no value gain with these items but only to wear on your character. Please keep this idea in mind as it gives users a chance for currency again but in a slightly different way!
As I said, I didn't think of this idea (only slightly edited it) *Original idea by EverythingisMacabre but more people need to know as it has potential and would benefit this site a lot in my opinion as one of the primary goals was 'avatars' back in 2008-2011 trailers for ROBLOX. Let me know what you think of this idea.

Roblox will probably never do captcha in login
Apparently only in forums. |

@Player
No trade currency, that's how it could be abused again it has no relation with ROBUX.
@Jeb
The items hold no value gain so if someone botted their way to a beanie, would it really matter that much to anyone? Merely this would be a chance for users to get items rather than the mini selection they get right now.
(Also a player would be able to gain a maximum of 10 per day)

| Bots wouldn't matter because tokens cannot be used to transfer currency as the Token catalog is ROBLOX-created stuff (Bots could buy a shirt to earn the creator tix). |

perhaps maybe devs get 1 token for every 2 tokens people earn? to prevent abuse, there is a daily limit of [x] tokens and you do not earn tokens if the player is on the same IP as the creator(s)

@image You know those annoying bots you see today? People were making them all donate 10 tix to one user at a fast rate.
Lets give new users a chance to look better and for NBC's to have some currency gain!

Fliz, the maximum would be 10.
They cannot be "donated" it is only for stuff that ROBLOX makes in the Token Catalog users cannot sell stuff for tokens, nor can it be used for group funding.

Thanks @Muun didn't know what his ROBLOX user was. I'll still keep the forum running as I changed it a bit. Credit still goes to him!

| Also, make BC members earn extra, depending on the tier of BC (BC earns a small amount of extra Tokens, OBC earns double or slightly less) |

No chance @Fliz
Would cause bots to start abusing it again, it's simply to give new users more items and creativity in their avatars-- simply for playing ROBLOX!
Good idea @Super
The maximum could still stay at 10 but they could earn 2 per hour if they're BC or 3 if they're TBC and maybe 5 tokens per hour with a 15 limit for OBC only.
