The problem:
I make FMs for others to use, totally around 1k sales. For my toil I gain no money, some decant reviewers, many trollers, and people republishing my work. I make very good pieces of work taking me some time (This took me half an hour http://www.roblox.com/Rifle-FREE-item?id=150234952).
The idea:
Get R$5 for every 10 sales of your FM. If he deletes it after a single use, it doesn't count.)
The small print:
In order to stop farming, you get 1 counted towards per user, not per sale. (i.e You get one counted towards you if user A takes it 5 times but deletes it 4 times)
You can view when you'll get your next R$5 by going to Money, Sales and there is a count down at the top
A cool down time of 1 day for NBC (Before the countdown resets to start to get to 10 again), 1 hour for BC, 20 mins TBC and nothing for OBC.
Other Benifits:
More incentive to build! Better for NBC as better products.
FAQ
Q:Won't this harm the economy?
A:It will add a further R$100,000 to the economy most likely. Which isn't much considering the economy gets 5 million daily already from JUST OBC.
Q:People can/will alt farm
A:Ok, so I'm a nubby NBCer wanting some cash. In a day I'll make R$5, having gone through the trouble of making ten accounts...
Q:Won't the rich get even richer?
A:As will the poor get richer!
Post more Q&A below. Looking forward to some intresting arguments

I think this is a great idea, other than the fact that people can easily take credit for someone else's model and reap the reward for it. Besides that, total support. |
|
|
Maybe roblox could do a moderation on that (For e.g, the person who made the original reports the FM, shows the mods his verison, and the creation date and history of it (So he can't take something he made in 2010 and upload it with something else) and let the mods take it off?) |

I think you are missing a primary word in "free models."

No payment is only one side of "free."
The other side of "free" is a product being "sold" for "free."
In other words, if something is free, it means that the giver gets NOTHING, SQUILCH, NADA, NOODLE, DA ZERO.

WE ARE NOT SELLING GOVERNMENT PRINTED NEWSPAPERS. WE ARE PROMOTING OURSELVES THROUGH OUR CRAP MODELS, NOT IMPORTANT WORLD TOPICS.

This is tempting.
I say, every 1000 FM you sell.
It's way to much for a FM that is free.

oooo, FM = free models

It's a metaphor or a synomen. Like if I say "I am one of many
Small branches of a broken tree
Always looking to the ones above
For guidance, strength and security.
One little branch trying
To keep the others from breaking ..........",
I'm not an actual small branch, I'm a member of a family... |

So abuseable,,,
But you might be able to tweak this thread a bit to apply to everyone's convenience...

you realize some people on the forums have 100+ alts
that's an easy 50 robux right there, at least
plus it isn't much of a hassle to make a crap load of accounts unless you get your account creation disabled somehow
Also I think you're missing a key word of "free model"
they are FREE
you don't get paid for making them
It doesn't matter if you think they're worth 1 robux or 100, they are FREE

"Q:People can/will alt farm
A:Ok, so I'm a nubby NBCer wanting some cash. In a day I'll make R$5, having gone through the trouble of making ten accounts..."
First of all, how are they nubby for wanting cash and being NBC? #greedy
Second, what? Have 10 accounts, and like 20 free models, and use those 10 accounts on ALL of those.
Account making is not hard.

also building on what advanced said...
making 20 free models just a bunch of different colored bricks and alt farming would also be an easy way to get robux if you don't want to pour a lot of blood, sweat, tears, and various other liquids into making an account or 10

NBC might farm once a day.
BC might farm 4 times a day
TBC and OBC will not farm...
Small impact. |

This will raise the Robux inflation.
no |
|

"Small impact."
yes 10 alts taking 20 models each is a very small impact
that's 200 models
100 robux
and most people would either make more alts or make more models

Meaning every limited would feel cheaper
No, not limited, every robux item
No, not robux item, EVERY item for sale.

also getting all these robux would let NBC members have huge amounts of tickets which would make even the most expensive ticket items like the valkyrie helm and heat goggles seem cheap

why aren't you letting unoriginal models roam the world freely?
maybe you could have "official" models which function as such, only original ones can profit |
