While it may seem useless, it actually does have a necessary purpose.

Now you say "Why does ROBLOX need more r$/tix? They are ROBLOX! They can just make more!" Well, that leads to inflation, which will cause tix/r$ to decrease in value, making money more common (HURRAY!!) but since money will be more common, it will not be worth as much, thus people will raise the prices of things, so they get more (Awwwwww....). So instead of making more R$/Tix, they simply raise the marketplace tax to 30%, then they use the r$/tix that comes from those 30% taxes, to give back to the player (BC stipend/Login Awards).

But can't the 10% tax do that?
Yes it can, and it did for a long time, but as ROBLOX said, it wants to make the ROBLOX marketplace more like the real world marketplace. But I think there is more to it.

See, as I said above, ROBLOX needs the tax, so they can keep giving out the BC Stipend/Login Award, without making more r$/tix, causing inflation. But as ROBLOX became more and more popular, more people joined (More demand for tix) and they added higher tiers of BC (More demand for r$), and more people bought BC (even more demand for r$), more and more people needed more currency. So instead of causing some inflation, they highered the marketplace tax, so that more money would be recieved on purchases, and then be able to be put into circulation.

Well couldn't they just higher a little? Like to 15 or 20% instead of 30?
Yes they could've, but then, as ROBLOX grew even more, they would have to higher the tax rate again, making it seem like they are raising alot, making the player VERY angry. It was just better to raise it once to a fee that would last them.

What if ROBLOX gets so big that the 30% fee isn't enough anymore?
While I do believe they have a plan for something like this, if that did happen, sadly you would see more taxes. They would either higher the tax fee, or find something else to tax.

Remember, this is all just speculation, ROBLOX has not made any announcement saying this is the reason they did it, just me thinking of maybe some other reasons they raised the taxes, and showing everyone that the 30% fee does have a sensible purpose.

Also note that I am a relatively new in the field of economics. If any here who is more experienced at it than I am, feel free to make corrections, or point out mistakes. No flaming.

No, all of this because there are people complaining about it, and I was tired of it.

If you're not going to read it, and don't care about it, save everyone some time and don't post anything.

I'm not bothered by it at all. I don't sell many things, never once affected me on ROBLOX. You guys seem to be the ones getting all worked up over it. I can't seem to understand why though.

Meh, I guess ignorance is bliss.

So, you're saying we have problem with it?

You must be using too much imagination because nobody has been complaining about it on RT.

Morons...
Anyway, LMaDers are one complaining, if you didn't notice (which you didn't).

Go there now.

1. I'm no longer welcome into LMaD. I stuck by one of my friends over something fairly controversial, and it made people mad. I'd get friendlier responses posting this on OT then I would on LMaD. Not to mention I'm not making a deal with this. So this officially does belong in RT.

Now get out.

@Stanley, thanks for understanding.
