ROBLOX is turning into a money shredder, and their blog says this with, "To incentivize non-paying users to buy ROBUX." All you're doing is turning kids spoiled, as they're begging their parents to buy them ROBUX or BC to get some stupid virtual item. Back when I just joined, I remembered all the clothing I saw, at different prices, and I was waiting for about 2 days to get shirts I liked. Now, I have to wait 30 days (calendar month) to buy a shirt/ pants, or a borderline of 2 weeks to buy some T-Shirt. I'm not waiting an entire month to buy some stupid shirt. I would wait a month for a shirt, pants, decorative T-Shirts and maybe the occasional hat to treat myself. You say you did this to "Raise the quality of items in the catalog." That's doing the total opposite, by skyrocketing TIX prices, you subject crappy shirts to cost at least 300 TIX. And how you say you're trying to "Reward makers and sellers of clothing," you're really not. The reason clothing are 1% of total income for players is that they aren't expensive. Lets take something from my wardrobe, a Custom Vest, a shirt by Sheeppie. It was originally 5 TIX, with 1183 sells (including me.) The math would decide that Sheeppie gets over 5 thousand TIX, 5913 to be exact. Compared to the current economy of ROBLOX, that could turn into 547 ROBUX (estimated.) That's a good amount, at least to me. Now lets take Telamon's Assassin Outfit, by shadow7777777. It was 5 TIX, 54108 sales. That's 270540 TIX, which would net you 24982 ROBUX. That can get you quite a bit in the catalog. Now imagine if it was more expensive, which would snare him even more. This new update is pointless, because all you want to see is more money flying into your paychecks. First, the abundance of ROBUX items. Then Gears, which seemed harmlessly cheap at first, but prices skyrocketed. I mean, 60,000 ROBUX for 2 Darkhearts that wouldn't be allowed in most of the popular games? Thats a staggering 641554 TIX! That's $599.70, if you buy that all at once! Members would save by only paying 399.80, but that's still a lot! Nobody wants to be forced to open up their shrivelled wallets to buy their child some cool swords that they want. Just stop ROBLOX. Every day, you're driving more and more people away. It's time to stop. |
