If that were true the game would be pay-to-play.
Think for once, and get out of the bandwagon. |

A F2P is a marketing strategy in which free users player for a limited time until they wish to "Upgrade" in order to gain certain perks. That's ROBLOX's reasoning, I'm sure priority lies in those who pay than those who don't.
When you come up with some things ROBLOX does specifically and only for the F2P people I may believe you, even just a little. However, to my knowledge there is no F2P perk that P2P people don't get. |

@SSLord
Why would F2P people get stuff that P2P don't? Your logic doesn't make sense at all.
F2P get many of the things P2P do. The only things we don't get are exclusive items (bodies and some hats), and we can't play crappy BC Games. |

KnobDoor that's not my logic, that's yours! Free playing is just a demo of ROBLOX, when you pay you get the real ROBLOX. ROBLOX doesn't care to improve F2P which is why ticket hats have been declining or raising in price, so the only way to get them is through trading in ROBUX for tickets. Which again, requires membership. Unless you're smart enough to use the TC then ROBLOX is quite cruel to free people.

| You'll need membership to get enough robux to trade in for tickets to get good hats, that's what I was saying, had you followed you'd understand. In other words, you need membership to get ROBUX, but then I said with the exception of TC. |

THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT FREE USERS.
When NBC players were getting viruses from offsite ads, guess what caring words they replied with? "Serves them right". |

| 2ndcoming I've been on ROBLOX for three years, I've only been on the front page once, with a major free modeled place. it earned me 1,000 tickets. That being said, 1,000 tickets is hardly enough to buy a good hat. So you shouldn't rely on getting much money from your places, you can, sure, but it'll do you better to just go straight to the TC, which has earned my thousands of ROBUX as a free member. |

That's not what I meant.
Is it not fun to build your own place? Am I the only one who actually likes Roblox because you can build your own game? |

Of course not, I love building, in fact it's literally the ONLY reason I've ever played ROBLOX. Though today it seems ROBLOX's economy isn't based off games, it's more based off the hats and gear as well as the ratio between the released tickets and robux hats.
Although I am glad that someone still builds on ROBLOX. |

| I agree with all of that, but that being said, you don't have to buy anything for your avatar, or visit any front page games. You can just build, and share with your friends |

The difference between roblox and lets say, WoW is the intended audience.
When your an adult you have a job disposable income and it's easier to just spend the £5 on a game subscription because well, you have more of where that came from...
Kids and teenagers (less on the teenagers) have a very limited income, which has to be spent on everything you want. You want to go to the cinema that is a 3/4 of you income gone, that [certain building block company here] set that is not happening to till your birthday, you want to get a car? Should of started saving when your 7... You get my point. It is harder for us to part with our money so the gains for parting with it have to be much greater, instead of limitations it's "You don't get that".
It splits the community and that significantly lessens the enjoyment of being on the site.
