Remove 30% market fee and pricefloors so people can still earn good money.
What are pricefloors?
Roblox has added 'pricefloors' so those who are making these fantastic shirts and other wear, can earn more money from it. I am not sure what the current 'pricefoor' (minimum price) is, but it is ridiculous for NBC's and clans. This has proven as a challenge for NBC and is annoying for alot of people in many reasons.
What is the 30% market fee?
I do not understand why this feature was added. It's an interesting feature and makes limiteds challenging to sell in a sort of tense and fun way but at the same time, you're not making as much money out of it. The 30% market fee feature means when you buy something for say... 100 robux, the person who made the shirt or whatever gets 30% of the money, taken away. In this case, 100 robux would be 70 robux.
Why should they both be removed?
Pricefloors is a problem. End of, we've all heard the stories and problems. Yet it awards people more money. BUT the 30% market fee MEANS this takes away money too. If we remove pricefloors and the 30% fee, this would work out for everyone. Still, if people want to keep their prices higher, that's fine.
Yet if this is still too much, at least remove the pricefloors and lower the market fee to 10-15.
So, why not? It helps us all.

What is the 30% market fee?
No support.
1) It was added to balance out the divide between those who are richer, and those who are poorer. It was also added to help get currency out of circulation, in an attempt to prevent devaluation of currency. It's also there, because ROBLOX is a LEARNING game; it's exposing their players to real life taxes, and giving them an insight into how an economy works.
2) Price floors won't be removed. ROBLOX has made that extremely clear, and I agree with them sticking to their guns. It was added after being suggested, on this forum. It was also added to increase the quality of assets on the site, and to also make it so they actually earn some money that they could "live off", type thing.
3) No support on removing the price floor - not going to happen. Ever. They're not going to lower the market fee either. They just won't. They don't want people getting incredibly rich, and this isn't the time to be mucking around with such a thing since DevEx was added (exchanging R$ for $).
4) WNTS. Threads simply going "remove this and that" (undo everything) are not allowed within this sub-forum.
Why should they both be removed?

Sorry about the top bit being part of your original thread. I copied and pasted it into the reply box so I could read it whilst I typed, however, I forgot to remove all of it - my bad.

I'm pretty sure the 30% fee is just the money that ROBLOX gets.
I think it should get it lowered to like 10% since it is kind of annoying that I'm losing my money |

@Votux,
1) The 30% you pay just vanishes. It goes nowhere. It's removed from circulation if you want to put it that way.
2) That's a bit like Tesco or Walmart turning around and saying that having the consumer pay 20% VAT isn't fair, and should be lowered. |

I mean right!? But also this 30% market fee is so people don't buy limiteds for 100 and sell them for 110 and make 10 R$ that easily. I think it should be lowered to AT LEAST 15%. But that's my opinion, Roblox has reasons for everything.
y u gotta be like dat ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ |

I support.
@Data: You call ROBLOX a learning site? That's REAL funny, because the only things I've learned about are OD'ers, Scammers, and Exploiters.
It's DOCTOR Blox. |

Good idea. Although, I think they should base the price off of quality. Maybe the amount of likes it gets allows them to increase the price?

@Dr,
It's focus is learning.
You've got to learn RBX.Lua to script/make things happen.
You've got to learn certain artistic things to learn how to make things which look good.
You've got the ROBLOX economy mimicking how a real life economy would work so you can learn how it works in real life - just subdued.
You've got a trading system so you can learn about bartering (in a sense).
You've got money so you can learn about money management, to a degree.
And so on and to be honest, you're the funny person here, not me. It's people like you who turn a blind eye on why ROBLOX is doing something or what they have done, and would much rather flame (?) them on what they've not been able to fully control, or blame them for things they haven't implemented (or blame them for not listening!) - when there's a large list of user suggested items which have been. |

Data, you've done enough here. You either say support or no support, say your reasons. Now get out. |

@Secret,
Firstly, I'd like to point out I can post where I want. Secondly, I'd like to point out that I'm replying to an assumption made by someone, which was attempting to poke a hole in my reasoning for not supporting. You're replying to people, bumping as are other people - so why are you attempting to exclude me/man-handle me away from your thread? |
|
|
Because arguing like you are now won't exactly make this look good. If you want to continue, PM me. If you want to go argue with other people, PM them too. |
|

oh no this has changed into a flame war not a suggestion :`(

Well, they should make the 30% go to ROBLOX and then start releasing more affordable items. They would make money and users will like it. |
|
|
I think that pricefloor encourages shirt/pants copying, as they are just harder to obtain, so the copier is mor elikely to copy and get it for free.
All in all, support. |

@Secret,
And I hope you're telling Dr to get off your thread aswell then, considering he took a swipe at me, and you don't want people arguing or being sarcastic; do you? |
