Alright kiddos, a brief lesson in economics: When there's a lot of something, it becomes more common, and thus the value goes down. When something is rare, it's valued higher.

With the increase in market fees, more robux are disappearing (as in they aren't transferred to anybody; just lost) and thus there are fewer robux around as a result. Because of this, the value of robux is increases slightly for every transaction you do that require market fees (just about all transactions now). If this keeps up, in time, the value of one robuck will be more than it is today.

Now, this sounds kind of good on paper, but I also noticed that the prices of ROBLOX-made items (hats etc.) is also increasing. (100 tix used to buy you a lot.) With fewer robux and higher prices, it increases our need to purchase more robux directly from ROBLOX via real money, which in turn gives them more cha-ching.

Discuss.

Completely agree. Also the builders club stripend bonus wen't down. Now you get the extra one Robux every month, instead of every week or two.

there is no economy on roblox

an uncountable amount of tix and r$ are created and injected into the "economy" every day. the money only circulates if you use the tc or utilize limiteds

if the economy on this was realistic, tix and r$ would be just about worthless unless you had millions of them

I agree, they REALLY need to fix this economy.
That way 10 tix can ACTUALLY equal 1 robuck like it used to.

In TC, the current rate of Tixs per 1 Robux has increased. Last year, the rate was 12:1. In 2009, the tixs:robux rate was 10:1. Now, it is 13+:1.
