My idea is that ROBLOX should allow non BC members to convert 100,000 Robux to lifetime Classic Builder's Club. "Why?" Developers unable to get BC are a serious problem. They can only release 1 game. They cannot sell gamepasses, what they can sell will be so severely taxed they won't want to sell anything. And there's a lot of them. 68 of the 97 EBR members as of when I posted this do not have any form of BC. There are many NBC developers out there, just to name a few... Kinnis97, creator of "Stop it, Slender!" kaeto, creator of "Hunter's Life" misgav11, creator of "Dragonia" TomsGames, creator of "Traffic Racer" and SpeedySeat, creator of "ROBLOX Chair Racing" (Feel free to skip this bit if you're supporting already) "This will strip ROBLOX of paying developers." Actually, no. There's multiple reasons behind this... 1. The current DevExing developers when isolated are already costing ROBLOX money. 2. Developers don't pay with money from their own pockets so much. They "pay" by making people want Robux to spend at their game. They basically give ROBLOX it's "service" (games). And they convert guests to paying members. 3. Developers would still need OBC to make actual money from ROBLOX, so they would still have to pay real money if they want to use the real money DevEx. "Then everyone would get free lifetime BC!" Erm... OK, if earning 100,000 R$ is so easy, why isn't ROBLOX already bankrupt from DevEx? I hope this eventually gets implemented, admins please tell me what you think.

Can't you just save up a lot of robux, buy one month OBC and then cash it out? And still profit about 80 dollars minimum?

Aes, the problem with that is that some people cannot buy BC because they have no way of getting the money there. Think about it, why aren't all those devs I mentioned BCs?

That's a bit of flawed logic... If they can't buy BC via ANY means at all(including Paypal) then how do they expect to receive money?! Through the mail?

I think 100,000 for lifetime is good, but I'm not sure anyone would really do that. I think you might want to change it to 12 months of BC. That way, if you use your BC unproductively, you won't be getting it back, because you can't afford it for the next year. I would suggest a "Developers BC" for this but you know wnts and what not.

@Ace Cashing out as far as I know is 100K R$ minimum. Now to a mass the money to buy OBC monthly and cash out the money would be 110K R$. Now to it would take you a hole 20 YEARS of BC to get that money.

Also I think 3rd was talking about virtual money not real money.

@Director, at the current DevEx rates, $200 (Lifetime BC cost) = 100,000 Robux.

Because of the confusion, I'll just restate the initial idea... Any NBC member who has 100,000 Robux can use it to purchase lifetime builder's club without having to go through paypal, buy OBC, credit cards or any finance. All they would have to do is go to the Developer Exchange page, click on the button and they would be able to buy the lifetime BC for their 100,000 R$.

Virtual Money in to REAL Money... That just does not work...... BC is not only to make the Company better but to increase, pay the workers. A worker can't buy stuff in Real Life with virtual money.... Imagine how many rich people would stop paying roblox for BC........ Roblox might even crash. Virtual money can replace Real money. Although credits for the game can be brought with real money. Virtual can't buy Real. ~-President of Cyprus, Raf

@Raf You do know that 100K R$ 2 MILLION TIX. Now Rich people with like 4 million TIX can get 200K R$. That is equal to 400$. So it would make more sense to cash out the money cause then you have already paid for your month of OBC and then you buy lifetime BC. Also ROBLOX is going to stop anything that might make ROBLOX crash. Also as 3rdRobox said there would be more people on ROBLOX cause of epic creation and therefore more ad revenue and memembers paying for BC.
