This is just going to be a post with some of my opinions, feel free to add to it or tell me why you disagree or agree with some of the things I say.
1 - The Existence of the Chat Filter
I REALLY dislike the chat filter and as I said in a post before that was removed for being inappropriate, it seems to cause more issues than fixes with the chat filter causing Chat Lag at times as well as being overly sensitive with words that shouldn't be censored, being censored.
Potential Fixes - Either program the filter to only censor specific words that are definitely cuss words or remove the filter all together.
2 - Lack of currency
Now, I've been playing for.. let's just say a long time (Years) and for the newer players, there used to be a free currency on ROBLOX called Tickets, you could purchase the majority of the things in the catalog with tickets (Albeit having to pay a little more), you would receive 10 tickets every day and it made it so you had more options for avatar customization.
Potential Fixes - Either bring back tickets, make it so you receive ROBUX daily, or introduce a new free currency.
3 - Lack of some types of customization
This one is the smallest deal with the Catalog having quite a few options when it comes to customization, but some things like facial hair, wrestling masks, and superhero masks aren't all that present in the Catalog.
Potential Fix - Just add more of these things, hopefully ROBLOX is already on it though. |

| Introducing a new currency or bringing back tickets would be bad. They can easily be farmed through bots. |

"Introducing a new currency or bringing back tickets would be bad. They can easily be farmed through bots."
Then make it so the currency can't be traded up to Robux, and that all items acquired through this currency are cheap and easily obtainable. |

| It doesn't matter if there is no form of trade currency. It would still be used to purchase items and is still abusable in that regard. If all the items are cheap and easily obtainable then they might as well be free, there would be literally no point in adding a second currency. |

Thank you Royalty.
And referring to Jyeik's argument about tickets being able to be farmed through bots, I fail to see how that is an option due to the fact that in order for somebody to farm tickets they'd need to open multiple accounts and pay for Builder's Club to transfer the tickets to one main account which would defeat the purpose because you're now paying for Builder's Club which allows you to make things that you can earn Robux and tickets off of as well as get Robux and more tickets daily than someone without BC.
Also in terms of there being no purpose to having a second currency, there would be one major purpose, player enjoyability. I joined back in I wanna say 2008, and I spent most of that time being a part of Ro-Wrestling communities (Basically sword fighting and now RP wrestling) and one of the bigger things about those communities was your attire, how you looked, more so now with RP wrestling. And even if you're NOT part of those communities you still want to have options past the few free options for clothing. |

Most users who abused the daily login bonuses had Builders Club, I don't see how that counters my argument. It takes 5 seconds to create an account and only 1 day to earn 10 tickets per account. All of that being sent to one account, easy as pie.
I said there is no purpose in introducing a new currency if all the items that were purchasable with that currency were cheap, as they might as well be free items if that's the case. |

Okay, if that's the case with the abused daily login bonuses then I got nothing.
Although with the "If all the items that were purchasable with that currency were cheap, they might as well be free items" argument, I find many flaws with that, if you buy a candy bar at a store for 99 cents you're not gonna think to yourself "This candy bar might as well be free." it costs money and it adds to the total price. Also everything is going to have different prices, if you recall when tickets were around there would typically be a high ticket cost and a low ROBUX cost for hats, shirts, pants, and T-Shirts. It's not about things being cheap, it's about them actually being obtainable without having to spend real life money on the game. |

| 1. the chat filter is 100% going to stay because roblox's major playerbase is young children, and concerned parents arent going to let their kids play games with excessive profanity being said by people. i do agree it should be improved but not removed 2. free currency was removed because it was easy to abuse and farm with multiple accounts. we dont need another version of it, nor do we need the even worse option of getting free daily ###### ## ## arguments from me tbh, i would like a gas mask (Original ATR'er) |

Pikachu mentioned one thing that I am going to bring into Jyeik's point, this is a kid's site (even though I kinda wish it wasn't, but I get why it is.) so, an 8 year old is going to work to get money to put on a cred######d####something to pay for ROBUX or to pay for a monthly subscription to Builder's Club?
Also, to go on to Pikachu's point about the chat filter, this website was officially released in 2006, which means it has been without a chat filter for about 11 years without a whole lot of controversy, and many other games for children don't have chat filters, the biggest one I can currently think of being Minecraft. One thing I don't think I clarified properly about the Chat Filter issue for me is that it is SUPER HYPER SENSITIVE without a whole lot of consistency, with words like but and even first names like #### being censored at times, however NUMBERS are consistently censored.. and even with my suggestion of limiting the filter to very specific words the threat of Chat Lag still looms because of the fact that the filter still exists. I would dive into the effect the filter has on RP as well but I've been talking too much already. |

| I agree on a comeback from tix. Tix was the only way to make in game money. Now its like the creators are just money thirsty. |

Something I just noticed about ROBUX is the fact that apparently you can make ROBUX without paying for it.. if you have ROBUX.. or are good at developing places.. but just to add onto how difficult it is to make ROBUX still, they ALSO have fees..
Robux are the primary currency for Roblox. There are a few different ways Robux can be earned or purchased:
Members of the Builders Club receive a daily Robux stipend. Builders Club members also can sell shirts, pants and place access and receive 70% of the profit. You can purchase Robux on the Robux page. Both Builders Club and Non Builders Club members can sell game passes for Robux. Non-BC members will get 10% of the profit while BC members will get 70% of the profit. Both Builders Club and Non Builders Club members can participate in the Affiliate Program.
So with this discovery does it change my opinion at all? No, because like I said before it is still incredibly difficult to get ROBUX and in turn difficult to purchase things from the catalog.. and I fail to see the purpose behind only receiving a PERCENTAGE of the ROBUX you earn whether you don't have Builder's Club or you do have Builder's Club.. |

| Agreed, one of them being the fact that they apparently think that even players with Builder's Club shouldn't get the full percentage of the money they earned.. and let's face it, that also means that people are gonna increase the cost of the things they create. |
