Say that each time a player visited a place, the player would earn a single tix after playing the game for at least 10 minutes.
Players can't earn tix again from places they have recently visited in the same day/ week.
READ THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPHS IF YOU DISAGREE.
Now, before you go ahead and poop your pants, hear me out.
Roblox as of today has a terrible system of earning money, where the rich get richer and the poor get slimmer chances at making it rich.
We all know how people use false advertising to lure in newbies into their games and keep having them play their game until they grow out of their "nooby" status.
And these newbies don't know what's innovative, what's new, and what's crap.
When you first joined Roblox, weren't you clueless as well?
I spent ages trying to find out how to earn tix in-game, and when I was finally informed properly on how to earn them, it took me 2 years to get a game to the front page from the time I learned.
In that two years time, I was unable to customize my character due to the so little money I had.
A game bent on customizing your character and your world sure did put some heavy limits on new players. To buy a hat that costs 20 R$ (Which is a steal), you had to log in everyday for 20 days straight.
Does that sound like fun? Does that sound fair?
This system almost caused me to leave Roblox. I felt useless and hopeless in the community. I couldn't buy any cool hats, and I was stuck to being a poor stupid nooby.
Now, with this idea, this puts all this bad stuff to rest.
With a system of earning tix by playing different places, this helps new players experience the "thrill" of buying new hats to customize your character, and it helps the building community thrive.
Players will be trying to visit new places, seeing the innovation and effort formerly unfortunate Robloxians weren't able to show them before. And even helping out OTHER new players by merely visiting their places, earning THEM tix for building (The ultimate goal of Robloxia!)
This would benefit the community in such a great way that new players would stick around Roblox more often, and feel more involved.
NOW.
"You idiot. If players want to get hats (Which doesn't even affect the game at ALL!), they'll have to buy BC. Roblox needs money too. And it'd be unfair to us BC'ers."
But alas, you're ignorant
Let me explain.
Of course hats didn't matter that much to you, but it did make you a little sad that you could barely customize your character.
"Be anything, Build anything! ROBLOX! It's FREEEE!!"
What's that? You're unable to do what the game trailer advertises about the game?
My point is that customization of your character is one of the main points Roblox tries to get across to you. But what's the point if you can't afford nothing?
With the 1 tix per visit thing, new players would be able to earn hats by contributing to the community. And not to the point where it nullifies BC privileges.
Say you earn ~ 6 tix an hour. (10 minutes on different games, 6 games in an hour)
Standard BC earns roughly 10 R$ a day. (~ 100 tix)
It'd take over 16 hours and 15 minutes of playing games to earn the same amount as a BC member logging in once a day.
As you can see, "abusing" this system is obviously ridiculous to attempt.
With this system in place, more standard players will stick around longer, (Or up to the point where they start building) thus being an investment all in the end.
Now, the one tix per visit won't only affect users, but also place makers of all sorts.
Right now, as I explained earlier, in order to make any money at all from places, you have to take the elitist standard. You either abuse the current system, or get REALLY lucky.
But with the 1 tix per visit in place, players will be visiting as many places as they can, so when all the crap games everyone was always playing on the front page aren't an option any longer, players are then forced to look at their peers' places. This makes it so that you don't have to be a Roblox Studio professional to get any money at all.
Anyone even starting out building won't have to depend on luck and false advertising on the front page.

More to be added, or some to be taken out.

| Read WNTS: -NO more NBC benefits. 1 tix for playing games would be a benefit. That 1 tix could make some ppl not buy BC. Also, some people would move to 1 place, stay 10 min., go to another place... In 2 hours, they have 12 tix. In 6 hours, 36 tix + 10 tix a day = 46 tix per day to NBC. BC gets 15 R$ + 10 tix per day = 160 tix per day. TBC gets 35 R$ + 10 tix, = 360 tix per day. OBC gets 60 R$ + 10 tix = 610 tix per day. And the R$ is not worth 10 tix most time so they get less. Instead of thinking of more NBC rights, go get 6 bucks and buy BC. |

"Roblox as of today has a terrible system of earning money, where the rich get richer and the poor get slimmer chances at making it rich."
>The USA as of TODAY has a terrible system of taxes. The Rich get richer (cause they pay less) & the poor get poorer (cause they pay more).
^Dont you see how identical that is? Well if ROBLOX wants to get any better... they should make this update. Support! |

Could simply run a PC all day and night with a macro moves you very so often to keep your from getting disconnected from inactivity. Also, can you please make a "tl;dr" version, I'm too lazy to read it all over. |

This is a good idea, but you need a few tweaks in it.
NBC = 5 tix per 20 minutes
BC = 10 tix per 20 minutes
TBC = 20 tix per 20 minutes
OBC = 40 tix per 20 minutes
I'm not trying to be mean to the NBC'ers, but this has always been the layout of ROBLOX. The more you pay, the more you get. |

@hd
it's once per game
@jason
no
@power
this is the s&I forum
@95, instead of making an idiotic one word reply, how about you focus on your post more and explain why it wouldn't work.
@surge, this isn't about bc/nbc benefits.

@A few posts above
How is this helping NBC ONLY? This is for both BC AND NBC, so therefor, not an NBC benefit. I fully support on this, great idea. Do not see any flaws, and well explained.
Annoying the crap out of you, one word at a time. -Says suoicodilaipxecitsaligirfilacrepus repeatedly- |

| I disagree with the overall idea, but i do agree that n00bs keep getting richer. I mean, if i went down the path of several famous n00bs, i could get ten thousand place visits in two days. |

@surge
maybe if you had intelligence, and read the actual idea you would see that you have to play different games.
and before you say "no support" or "support" actually put thought into your post and don't make it a piece of spam, kthx. |

Actualy you made a good point. I find it very hard to earn visits when you can't make a good game. So heres the chain. 1.Noob joins ROBLOX. 2.Noob wants tickets so he can buy items but doesn't have enought Tix/robux to buy it 3.Noob doesn't know how to build. 4.Noob gets angry becuase he has to wait so long to get catolog item. 5.Noob quits. 6.More inactive accounts to spam ROBLOX. You have a great idea. |
