First, think about ROBLOX itself.
What is ROBLOX's source of money? Builders Club.
Flash back to 8 months ago. Many people have Builder's Club who play, and the amount of people joining ROBLOX, then buying Builder's Club is low. The amount of people buying ROBUX is also low.
ROBLOX decides to advertise.
They put up commercials, falsely saying that ROBLOX is "free".
They make more BC only items, more BC only features, personal servers, mega places, etc.
They make items more expensive so people want to buy ROBUX.
But now... the same thing is happening...
People aren't interested in Builder's Club, and the people who want to spend money on ROBLOX already have Builder's Club.
Here's where the trade system comes in.
The trade system's been done for a while now.
Haven't you noticed that it's been being "perfected" for at least 6 months now?
Well, here's why.
ROBLOX is waiting until Builder's Club sales are low.
They'll release the trade system... as a BC only feature... but you have to pay for it.
Similarly to Builder's Club, they'll release the Trade System, but for an ADDED monthly fee.
Doesn't this seem... coincidential?
Does it seem false?
Now think about this.
If ROBLOX releases a Trade System, there are still the people who will buy ROBUX... and invest... they won't NEED to trade...
So ROBLOX has to do something... to make profit on the Trade System, ROBLOX needs to make limited buying and selling seem bad to normal users. But what would they do to do that?
Making a large amount of fail limiteds, like Lightning Orb, that seem great to normal users...?
Taking off all of the NBC sellers on items to project items so much that it's impossible to buy ROBUX to get them...?
Destroying the TC, by making rates go very low and therefore decreasing the value of ROBUX?
Or buy screwing with the RAP system so people don't understand where to buy good items... or get a good LPP on an item...?
ROBLOX is making Limited buying and selling seem bad so when the trading system comes out for a monthly fee... people will think they need it...
People who have been playing for so long...
People with money...
and who profits?
ROBLOX.
Open your eyes.
This is happening...
as we speak...

Well, if this happens, ROBLOX can say goodbye to its loyal users, only keeping the ones who don't pay here. |

They Should Make a Trading System So People Like You And Me Can Trade. - Trade Button - Invite Someone - Inventory Pops Up + Trade System - Drag Your Item ( 6 Slots ) - Can Trade Money - Click Trade And Wait Till other Person Clicks Trade - Both Click Trade The Item Switchs + Money - Done - Trade System + Inventory Closes Now Thats How i Want to Be :3 |

1) "So ROBLOX has to do something... to make profit on the Trade System, ROBLOX needs to make limited buying and selling seem bad to normal users. But what would they do to do that?

Do you realise that people actually have to make the gear and they wouldn't just waste their time to try and make fail things? Did you also think of the time it would take to script all the effects for the gear or make the actual mesh/design of the thing?
2) "Taking off all of the NBC sellers on items to project items so much that it's impossible to buy ROBUX to get them...?" Or maybe they're trying to make things seem more fair to BC users. Take a small step like this to encourage people to buy BC? Many of you gys also profitted from this if you didn't notice. Makes it more of a challenge to get your favorite item. . .
3) "Destroying the TC, by making rates go very low and therefore decreasing the value of ROBUX?" I don't think you realise that users are the ones that control the TC. . . _NOT_ the amins
4) "Or buy screwing with the RAP system so people don't understand where to buy good items... or get a good LPP on an item...?" RAP...?
5) "ROBLOX is making Limited buying and selling seem bad so when the trading system comes out for a monthly fee... people will think they need it..."
I don't even. . . |

It isn't going to cost extra. BC-Only? Yes. Increased fee? No. |

@Smurf,
You're right but:
3) Admins could theoretically but in billions of robux at a low rate to decrease the value. They won't, but they could. 4) RAP = Recent Average Price |

About #1, you do realize that they make the in-game gear great. They script it and make it good...
they overstock/overprice it purposefully though...
Even Telamon mentioned there wouldn't be any more 100 in stock limiteds for a while |

I never said the gear was bad. . . and yes they do overstock for a reason. With an increasing population you're going to need more items. Maybe they're trying to make sure everyone has a chance for something? |

#4 would have the RAP go DOWN in price because of LPPs. Explain 4000 ROBUX hats having 500000 ROBUX RAPs? |

It would be a separate payment.
Doesn't matter what type of BC or time of BC you have, it's a different payment. |
