::NOTICE:: READ ALL ::NOTICE::
::NOTICE:: THIS IS NOT BASED ON MY OPINION, IT'S BASED ON NBCERS IN GENERAL ::NOTICE::

Well, recently I started to actually listen to NBCers rants, and I did some "research" based on my veteranship in games. (yes, the rants and the trolling is getting bad, it drove me to this)

Now, most of us would say, "NBCers get enough, just buy BC." Well, it's probably because your life is more "picture perfect" then the "poor" NBCers. Is it a bad thing? No, not at all, but it's blinding you to "some" things.

Now, let's start off with the usual NBC ranting. Most people say the solution is, buy BC. Is it the correct answer? Maybe. Maybe not. Why? Well, most BCers assume that if you mow a lawn, or do the some chores, you can get BC. Most parents don't give out allowances daily/weekly/monthly. Most parents won't let you spend money on a pixelated game. Most parents won't even let you spend your money without their approval. NBCers see this, and "attempt" to use it, but BCers just say, "ROBLOX needs money, now get out".

Are the BCers right? Or are the NBCers right? Actually both are. Why? Notice MOST NBCers who actually attempt to get rid of BC (not the trolls) are usually veterans of the game. We all know the veterans of ROBLOX are VERY disappointed by the updates, but why? The standard.

The "standard" (a nickname I like to use for this) is a level at which Free-to-play are at AT the beginning of the game. For ROBLOX, the "offical" release (I know we're still in Beta) was '06. '06-08, the "standard" was, BCers get extra places and extra salary. We were fine with that. But what made us mad? TBC, OBC, BC-Only's, et cetera, et cetera. It raised BCers level now SO far above the NBCers, we just felt neglected. Very little "universal" updates were between the intervals. The only one I can remember is Data Presistance.

Now, let's take a game whose "BC" is PASS normal. CP. In CP, (being penguins) you aren't allowed to shop for clothing, wear clothing, or even have good pets in a good house without membership. But the members are fine with it. Why? Well, for one thing, their standard for Free-to-play was low. The Free Players completely understood they weren't allowed most rights unless they bought membership. So what's the problem? NBCers not being neglected enough? No. There's the "lies".

Remember the selection in the blog known as, "Do you need Any Body?" (close enough)? Most of us remember it as, "We'll give NBCers a body after 30 bodies", which was a cruel joke, since all we got was a Girl's Body. But, if you actually look back on it, it actually announces NBCers will recieve a "selection" (selection being 3+) of bodies to choose from, just not all the ones BCers get. Now, at this point, BCers are going to say, "ROFL! Be patient! Mesh making is hard!". Well, what more BC Beta do we have to go through? Everyone (or most) loves them, and it's running smooth and sleek. And not only that, we're well pass 30 bodies, YET we still only have the famed Girl's Body to look upon.

Then, we have the tag slashing conspiracy. Do BCers need a tag to show off? Of course not! It completely seperates NBCers and BCers! I mean, how many times have you seen a NBCer and a BCer play a game together happily without the BCer feeling like he/she was playing with an "inferior". Not only are BC-Only games there, we have tags to show off who's the macho in the server.

And yes, BC-Only games are also on the list. Most of us probably don't know, but Mr. Shedletsky was planning to make ROBLOX Pay-to-play, which would of ruined their nine years of work, and all the remaining updates would be hats and gears. But, luckily, enough NBCers battled this, and he shoved in BC-Only games. :\ How creative. After all, we have trolls, spammers, flamers, and all we need now is segregation. Not only that, but they made it seem "good", with the extra money bonus per visits so more BC-Only games will show up. I mean, I would be okay if there was a "BC Lounge", but BC-Only games took away some fun games from ROBLOXians.

Then we have the loyalty program. Oh, what's better then extra money for BCers, who already get extra money, to slap the face of every NBCer? Was it necessary? NO! I mean, a few extra gears and hats for BCers would of been "okay", but completely just adding on to their salary, and convincing BCers to pay ROBLOX more money, and stay BC long, wow, that was just plain greedy. Sometimes, BCers may not even notice that fact. They just think they're buying benefits, when they're really supplying ROBLOX with an overload of cash. I mean, how much money can one business get? (Rhetorical Question) We could spend some of that money on some NBC+BC updates, then BAM, NBCers are happy that they at least got something. Don't believe me? Look at RS. They haven't updated Free-to-play for a month or two, then they release the Blood Pack(t) (filter?) quest. Even though it was the easiest quest EVER, it still showed that the Free-to-play weren't forgotten.

Then, another thing that NBCers are mad at are, well, how "cheap" ROBLOX runs. The first cheap thing was the NBC bodies lie (might become the truth in the future), and then the hiding of "BC". If you click on the Builder's Club tab, you realize BC isn't there! They hid it, where originally OBC was. Why? So most newbies to ROBLOX will think TBC is the least. Is it far, hell no. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if the next NBC bodies (if they're ever going to be released) are going to be ROBLOXian 2.0 and Shaggy Boy. THAT would be cheap.

Well, is my argument "valid". Probably not. But, at least some of you BCers will understand where I'm coming from. I mean, I have been a BCer myself, and it was great and all, but it felt like trash to play BC-Only games. I really did miss being treated like a NBCer at that point. At this point in time, NBCers assumed I was a spoiled BCer, when really, I BARELY convinced my parents to let me buy something by getting year's worth of A's and Good Behavior. It felt bad.

So is there a suggestion in this lazily piled research? Yes. A NBC+BC update, just to tell NBCers, "You're not forgotten, even after all this bull.".

Yes. I remember being OBC for the first time. People called me spoiled just because I said, 'Yay! I have OBC! =D!' It felt bad. (NOTE: This is an alt. This happened on my main.)

You do realize if you would've posted this in RT that you will have a lesser chance of getting banned for posting this, as it would be in the appropriate Forum.

But, this place gets less flooded, and it would technically be a Suggestion, if you break it down with gastric enzymes.

But yeah, great post!

Thank you, Virtualdarks, for making this thread. This shows certain BCers that continue to think they're better then NBCers because they spent money. So obviously supported.

Is it OK if you can break this down into something specific but short? Like, the actual point? I think I'll understand the rest from there.

Roblox makes new hats and gear every week. If NBC's can't get them due to low income, they can either get BC, save up or get tickets the normal way by making a popular place.

@Charezard

He makes it this long for a reason. If he just posted " Give NBC more features along with BC ", he probably would got a lot of questions or not a lot of support.

That was one great research you have done.
I am amazed. No seriously I am.

Alright, I read EVERY mother of technological word on this thread. I was on an alternative account once. I wanted to go buy a few hats. The only hat I had was
Guardia in Exile. Wanna know the 'VAST' varieties of cheap hats that I saw?! :D
CAPS. C-A-P-S. Did you hit Ca- NO. CAPS! The ones you put on your head! Those are the only hats that I saw for my NBC character.

A thread that I posted before this was a good idea. I wanted to know if ROBLOX could make an icon like the BC icon in-game. An icon shaped like the Safe Chat icon. Stating that that person can Safe Chat only. That thread is dead right now and it's been a while and I haven't seen that update happen.

I totally support to where this thread is going to.
