Everyone, I am organizing an official onsite Occupy ROBLOX. For many reasons:
1. Overpriced Items: Yes, ROBLOX needs money. Big business like ROBLOX runs on money. But, c'mon, many people are the site are NBC'ers, and how are us NBC'ers going to buy your 10,000 ROBUX hats? What about those couple of thousand ROBUX gears, like, for example, the Electric Blue Guitar that sells for 2,000 ROBUX. A 2,000 robux GUITAR, of all things??? The Illumina, I could see, but a guitar?
The average NBC'er makes only 10 Tix a day (and since NBC'ers are dubbed inferior by the general populus of the community, they are hardly cared about at all, especially by the OBCers, which i experienced one day on Canoe Without a Paddle. They kept spawnkilling me and they were like, "OMG we can't let the NBC'er get in a boat" and all that. It's like their trying to get it to become a racial sllur!) But anyway, back to my explanation. So, NBC'ers, only 10 Tix a day. 10 X 360 = 3,600 Tix. 3,600 Tix only equals about 360 ROBUX. And thats if, and only if, you log on every day of they year. Which it is almost impossible to do.
2. Overwhelming majority of BC-Only Features
Once again, another perk for people to buy BC with their cash. And I can't blame them for doing it. But, I honestly think they went a little to far. You have to pay to make groups? Last time I checked, making something that your friends to join and making it that much easier to socialize shouldn't have to cost. And the bodies? What makes them so special? They have rounded meshes? Honestly, I could make a body package more than twice as good as what Roblox is putting out. And that's another thing. That's probably one of the main reasons they took out the mesh making, besides moderating issues. They knew that some techie would come on and outdo them, then they wouldnt be making money, especially if said person open sourced their product and sold it as a free model. Even if it did come back, IT would probably become BC-Only too. Then you could SELL THEM!!! And Donating? Hhhmm... Who needs the donations more? BCers, or NBC'ers? I wonder...
3. Unfair Discrimination in the Community
Just to show you that I'm not just a greedy kid who doesn't like a site just because you have to pay to get the full advantage, I'm gonna make a quick attack on the community. (Note: that is NOT a Pokemon reference!) First, I will describe the discrimination that is going on with us NBC'ers both on the site and in-game as well
First off, NBC'ers are often labeled as inferior and "Noobs", as briefly explained in Point 1. Since the majority of people on ROBLOX are NBC'ers, we are often labeled as "copiers" because there are so many people on ROBLOX that only the BC'ers are formally recognized as being the real "placemakers". The fact of the matter is, many people, INCLUDING BC'ers, have copied a place on the site in SOME way, whether it be very obvious or not that noticeable.It's impossible NOT to, with over, what i believe to be, 2,000,000 users. This causes people not to go to NBC places because there are so many false facts that NBC'ers are just unoriginal noobs.
Thus, the main goals of this movement are simple and as follows:
1. Decrease prices at least slightly for hats/gears/other items which NBC'ers cannot currently afford do to price range
2. Raise awareness of NBC'ers potential building skills and to show everyone that we are actually capable of making something unseen before
3. Try to integrate some BC-features for NBC'ers in SOME way
These goals, which I have aforementioned (basically a fancy word for "just said"), are the basic goals of this movement, which i will be charismatically heading throughout the rest of the year and the year to come.
Our Motto is *We are the NBC'ers...
AND WE WANT JUSTICE*

I never explicitly stated "ROBLOX forces you to P2P", did i?
I'm just saying that not everyone has the priviledge of getting BC, and with the overly priced hats that favor longtime BC members, the overly increasing number of BC-Only features, and the discriminative community, It's just not fair.

'China called, they want their wall back' is something commonly said when someone posts a large wall of text as a thread.

These "overpriced hats and gears" are not necessary for gameplay. As for the "OBCers spawnkilling you", they're little kids. What can you expect?

Colly was making a joke about your word wall. He believes it to be communsitic in theory.

NBC, BC, OBC, TBC, who cares? I've met some awesome NBC builders. They aren't famous because they don't bother to advertise. They build to build, they don't need to be recognized. You're complaint is actually a good one, well typed well constructed. But, there is one flaw in your logic. It's their game, if they want to charge you a million tickets for your hat/gear/body, then they can. You should be glad that you have NBC at least, they could make it where to register you have to pay a fee. Not that they will do that, because a lot of money comes from advertising other sites. NBC players as you pointed out are the majority of population, so they still get money regardless if somebody is paying because of the 2,000,000 players that is a lot of advertising space.

If I did this, all I would of asked for was more tickets hats and at least something for all the nbc players that have played twice as long as all of the bc players. Like, seriously, most bc people I have seen come from '10 and '11, while most nbc are '09 and back.

@JMan

So, did you make this to benefit the community or just so you can be selfish and get more stuff? How about you wait for Christmas money (come on, you have to get that. Last year I got $200) and then get lifetime bc

It had supportive points to it, but no, not really. In the TL;DR version:

Don't whine, be grateful you can still have some fun, they could choose to make it p2p.
