Now, I understand that there have been a few of these forums published before this one, however, like other, I too would like to share my opinion.
Now for the few who don't know what has happened, I'll go into brief details, those who do know skip this section, basically ROBLOX made the price for all Shirts and Pants, 300tix and 25R$ (250tix). Meaning, NBC members have to wait 30 days to afford one shirt or pant item. Personally, and most likely back by 98% of the community, are highly against it.
Now, I'd like to get some forms of 'support' on this, so, I'm going to go in depth and why ROBLOX should remove this upda- Oh wait! ROBLOX said that they'll never undo updates, oh dear (smart words there). Anywho, off topic.
Now, it doesn't take a genius to guess what the majority of ROBLOX's population are made of, they're NBC members. NBC members do not get 15/35/60 R$ per day. They get a lousy 10 tickets per day. ROBLOX's minimum price is 300 tickets, thats 30 logging days to afford one shirt or pant.
Now there are going to solutions to this.
1. You save up.
2. You purchase ROBUX
3. You Purchase Builders Club.
Now, Saving up. Most people wouldn't have the patience to wait 30 days, resulting in a huge majority of people leaving the site. But! They could make a game! That would get them money!! But, lets be truthful, I have fairly good building skills, but a lot of people wouldn't want to learn how to improve their building skills.
Also, they'll need to advertise their place somehow, costing money. Or they could scam. Guess what ones the more honest method.
Purchasing ROBUX, that's a decent method I suppose, but if you're 10, what are the chances of your parents (unless your rich), buying R$ for you? Equally, you could buy a
ROBLOX card from Game, Sainsburys, etc (UK Stores), but that still takes time to save up for.
But the last option, is BC. This is the most practical, and I would go with it. However.
BC members have the ability to make Shirts and Pants, FOR FREE, and we all know the crisis with people copying. Copying is going to rise, dramatically.
Look how easy it is to copy something: youtube.com/watch?v=VzmE1S3jhac
Unless ROBLOX can somehow make the templates disappear from the site completely, remember, you can type in 'ROBLOX Suit Template', then boom, copied.
Also, this would prompt more scammers to come forth and take advantage to make more ROBUX. Basically, ROBLOX will become a terrible place, not like a large majority of the community are already terrible.
Now, if ROBLOX is a company that has 100% growth every year, why do they need more money? This could suggest that the administrators are just greedy for money, perhaps they are, that's what this update is telling some of the wise people.
Another point is that, they want to award successful clothing makers, but. Wouldn't this make the people starting out, want to quit? It'll make a shortage of clothing makers in the future.
So then, this is the situation:
Free Users - Not enough money
Robux Buyers - May as well by hats
Builders Club - Copy everything

To narrow it down, and to refresh:
300 tix per piece of clothing-
>less sales
>users being more picky
>>user only buy 'the best' clothing
>>>certain clothing creators preferred
>>>>Smaller clothing makers looked over
>>>>>Discouragement to make clothes
and according to Dayren, the space time continuum broken, but I don't think that's possible.

So, I'm going to ask a favor for all 'Anti Clothing Update Groups',
in order to protest against this update, users purchase this T-Shirt:
roblox.com/Free-T-shirt-item?id=25171036
and don't wear any Shirts or Pants.
Together, we will rid of this update.
