***If you want a summary of my points, you can watch the discussion video, where I explain why these changes are desperately needed:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8wUyQbtdtg
Now that Tickets have been a thing of the past for more than a year, it's become clear that the gap between new and veteran users will keep widening, as long as there isn't a way for non-members to get Avatar items for themselves.
The site admins have forgotten about gift prizes that they introduced around the TIX update. They have also not kept creating a variety of free clothes for its users to wear after the initial batch, again, after the TIX update. If items from events are going to be the sole thing that players can earn for themselves nowadays, they are still being locked into only a few customization choices-- on a site that for years has stressed the importance about expressing yourself.
The ROBLOX "culture" of player appearance has made it easy for veterans to brag and boast about their items. They openly hate 3.0 bodies and the look of things like Pal Hair and more often than not drift towards bullying with the ways they try to make new users feel illegitimate. If character customization was more accessible to everybody, there'd be more of ROBLOX's population feeling empowered that they ARE individuals and not some carbon-copy of somebody else.
Basically, it's time to introduce a new, closely-controlled currency to grant rewards to users who deserve to let their experience show.
For months I've had the idea of the Token; it's the argument I try to mention whenever I see somebody petitioning for Tickets to come back when instead we need money that should only be tied to one account, the one that owns it, since Tokens can't be traded to other players through buying things.
The Token would only be spendable in a certain section of the Catalog set aside for these items. Let's call them Prizes, but they won't be higher-quality at all than what's already available for anything ROBUX-related. Different colored baseball caps and headbands, shirts and skirts, set at around 7 Tokens each. Just little things to give players an array of options to dress how they want.
Rewarding a Token per day for logging in creates a productive cycle: a user is rewarded for being an active member of the site and has a cosmetic to show for it. Limited-time items corresponding to the time of the year can also be available in the Prizes section to spend bigger Token savings.
So just so I don't ramble on too long, this is basically a feature to get non-paying members up and running on the site so they don't have to constantly be discriminated against. Hopefully this is secure enough so it can't be abused in the same way that Tickets were.
Leave your thoughts in the thread replies if you'd like, and I'd certainly appreciate if moderators or site admins gave this their consideration. Thanks! |

"roblox wont like it since it could be ''botable'' or ''too confusing to new players'"
Please read my thread. I said there is no way to bot these Tokens because they cannot be traded to other players/funneled to all one account. The Token would not be confusing to new players because that would be the currency they are earning everyday instead of ROBUX. And just to be clear, BC members would be earning both-- it's just that the Token is the first currency a day-one user will come in contact with and likely start saving up. |

support because it's a change. i would prefer if it could be used on user created content at least but that does lead to some of the problems that (at least according to the blog) lead to the removal of tix so tl;dr id prefer tix but if the admins dont want that but would pick this i would like that |

"but then people won't buy robux/BC !!"
Can't tell if you're being sarcastic through ROBLOX's eyes, but I do agree that it makes ROBUX less of a concern for a little while; though the Prizes catalog wouldn't even be a fraction compared to everything available in the creator/ROBLOX Catalog. If players want to diversify their clothing options even more, they have to buy ROBUX no matter what. |

If you say that People won't buy robux if this idea passes, Then you are looking at the point wrong.
Hes trying to say that tokens can get you certain hats, gears, shirts and pants.
Though you cannot buy tokens, you can only earn it by Having bc or logging in everyday But i think you should change how much you earn for NBC it should be 2 since you should not wait to get a hat. the min price for Most hats should be 7 the max should be 600. And bc people should get 5 a day.

@Laser
I have my doubts about increasing the login bonus of Tokens for BC members. I mentioned in my discussion video that Prizes should be purchasable with ROBUX to speed up the process of earning Tokens one by one; I want those to sort of be a count of days instead of something to amass wealth with. Hope that makes sense. ROBUX just shouldn't ever be outclassed by this secondary currency when every other feature on the site revolves around it and the Token is only for one. |

You went from bullying me in 2015 to supporting the movements regarding the poor?
Whatever killed the dark part of you, I approve of. Support.

| I don't think this will work considering the introduction of a user based catalog in the future- which is their ultimate plan to cover for the tickets update. They've been working on setting in place for over a year now. |
