| Hello ROBLOXian. I am here to talk about making groups. I think that ROBLOXians should should be able to make a group without Builders Club, but pay 1 or 2 dollars. This would help me alot because my parents keep saying Builders club is a waste of money, so I can't make groups. Please post about what you think below. Thank you for your time and have a great day! |

support.
Maybe you could pay for the features you want monthly instead of pay for stuff you don't want. |

It'd be great to start a group as NBC, but it'd also be great to have place badges and have multiple places.
Not going to happen because Roblox need money and will go to pretty insane lengths to get it.
No offence but it's true. |

| I'd like it if NBC members could make groups. I think they should be allowed to; maybe just make it cost a bunch of Robux rather than tix. |

| But still, no one with a properly functioning brain would by Builders Club just to make one group. |

I think if the groups were to have a few things less than BC groups it'd be fine.
Maybe if you were to remove group ranks/store, but not removing shout feature or wall.
Limitations on NBC groups...Roblox might do this, but I'm afraid of over limitations they'll give us. |

| But Zukaro, you'd have to pay to have Robux without Builders Club. |

@Rock
Can you read?
This would make ROBLOX more money.
Some people only want BC for one or two features, not it all, therefore, they don't buy BC... |

"But Zukaro, you'd have to pay to have Robux without Builders Club."
I know. I'd rather just pay tix, but Roblox isn't gonna do that. Look at the catalog; mostly everything is in Robux now except things advertising things such as NERF etc.
Due to it being in Robux, you either have to buy BC to get Robux, buy Robux, or get really good with the trade currency system. But you can tell Roblox is really trying hard to push players to join BC as they've made most things unaffordable in the catalog unless you've got BC.
I know people are saying "that's what inflation does they're trying to take money out of the community" but this is an online game, and those prices are controlled by Roblox. It'd be like if in RuneScape Jagex decided to control the prices of all items (the Grand Exchange is close to that but it actually goes based on what players put things up for on there). In RuneScape you pay a lot for items, but no one's trying to control the price.
RuneScape has an actual economy whereas Roblox doesn't really. People don't really sell things on Roblox; sure, you can sell outfits, but that's not much, as well outfits are affordable, it's hats which aren't. Maybe if you could sell models you've made Roblox would get an actual economy (and I'd love to be able to make money off the models I've made), but I don't see that happening. |

| Also you can get Robux without BC or paying, it just takes a long time and a lot of tix. |

| But no one has the time to get that many tix. |

| I'd rather groups be made with only tix, but looking at it from Roblox's point of view this is probably the only way they'd actually do this. |

| Support, but please no limitations! Ranks, store would be nice, maybe you have to have, say, 5 members per rank you want to create. I also think that BC groups should get a feature where they earn, say, 100 tix a week in group funds. |

I am not paying that much to make a group, maybe it's just me because I am a little bit on the poor side. I agree with though to pay monthly for the features you want, in that case for me, would be to make and sell clothing. But if you could choose what you want Roblox would lose money. If I just chose the option to make clothing and say it's only $2 or $3 then they losing half of what I would have paid for BC. Maybe it'd make more money, but it's not worth the risk. |

They need a lot of money, though. I mean, read their jobs page a bit.
You get insurance, which I think tends to be standard anyways, but, hey. It costs money. And a lot of it when you have a large-ish company.
They are located in the center of a city in a largely-beach state; the property tax assumptions alone make me shiver.
Free lunch? At a workplace? Time to learn what all jobs they have and consider a trip there after I learn something that I enjoy.
Regular "Fun nights" and company outings. This, I have never seen a company do this, so I can only imagine what it can do to income.
All in all, the reason they go to such "extreme" lengths to get money, is because they have such an extreme need for money to keep everything in order.
That was just from the deductions for jobs and location. What about bi-weekly paychecks? Buying equipment? Maintaining equipment? Upgrading equipment? Building maintenance? Building cleanup? Plumbing and Electric bills?
When you find the astronomical cost of creating and then maintaining a company like ROBLOX, you'll understand why they go to such lengths for money.
