There is no purpose for this fee in the first place. Unlike sounds, animations don't need to be moderated to the same degree as sounds do. People can also use sounds uploaded from other users, so even if they don't have their own sounds, they have a library to choose from, but not animations. Even if they did create an inappropriate animation, it would only be accesible from their game and players can then report the place.
Currently, most games use the older way to make animations that you can get from welding. They do this because they can make an animation without paying 30 robux and they can edit an animation without having to pay another 30 robux to upload a new one. This blocks most nbc from ever using a game that is fully animated. If they are just starting out, they don't have the hundreds or even thousands of robux to make all the animations that they need for their game. So they are left with two options; either use the older style of animations or just make a game with no animations at all. This is an impediment to creating a game.
I suggest that the animation price be removed so that new players can hop into creating an animation for their places. There's no point for the fee anyways. |

Partial support. I'd rather have it lowered instead, perhaps to 5-10 R$.
[ But when you think about it, you're still a noob. ] |

Even if you lowered the fee, there really is no point to the fee. It doesn't need to be moderated, so why does it have a fee? |

support, or reduce the price, due to this could lead to more serious tix devaluation.

@spic, ik but OBC can easily do gross animations if they want, they have two chances to make per DAY. think about it, some OBC player might create silly animations with their savings.
just make it into tix price, done.

Yes, but they'll get banned for them. Note, this means losing $20 or more.
While if it was for free or insanely cheap, you'll have people spamming alts and making inappropriate animations on them. |

It's highly unlikely that anyone will spam animations. It's only avaliable on YOUR game, you have to get people playing ii to see the bad animations. At that point they would just be banned. And you can make way more inappropriate stuff with just bricks. They also need scripting knowlege to even use animations. The fee does absolutely nothing but stop people who want to use it legitimately. |

ROBLOX will eventually be allowing users to sell and buy animations, or as far as I'm aware at least. The fee, in my honest opinion, should stay regardless. |

What for? Animations curently need zero moderation. Anyone who wants to abuse it needs to know how to script which stops 99% of troll users. And people who want to use it legitimately need to save up for weeks or buy Robux/BC. This is a feature for building. Look at this game that has terrible and buggy animations because the user couldnt afford to use the regular Roblox animations. If it was free, his place could already be using much better animations.

The fee puts off users from making inappropriate animations, since NBC troll alts would have to waste money on BC to do animations, and most people who are serious about learning scripting and animation here will probably already have BC. |

Many users don't have the skills to make use of anything that BC has to offer, so they don't buy. If I wanted money, I would just buy Robux. Also read above. |

"Anyone who wants to abuse it needs to know how to script."
That's not true at all. There is example scripts on the ROBLOX Wiki, on how to use animations, aswell as hundreds of models on free models. A 'troll' being unable to script doesn't remove the issues involved with animations.
"This is a feature for building"
No, this is a feature for scripters to utilise. Sure, tutorials exist, but to get the most out of it you do require scripting knowledge. Therefore, due to this, it is not a 'feature for building'. |

Your logic for the "features for building" is stupid. Yes it's not technically building, but it is still a feature used in place creation and that's what it meant. And there is a tutorial on how to use the CSG modeler as well. Since people can abuse it, should we add a fee to that too? No. Everything can be abused, but it doesn't mean it needs a fee. Decals need to be moderated but they don't have fees. And animations aren't even moderated; they work instantly. This fee for animations is stupid. |

@Grant,
No, my logic isn't stupid Grant. There is no technicality, animations aren't building in any way, shape, or form. You press a button and rotate parts which are already created for you. It is in no way related to building.
If you think the fee is stupid, for everything or just animations, I really couldn't care Grant. If you don't want to pay it, don't. Don't use animations. It's as simple as that.

Whatever. Who cares if it's not a feature for building, it's a feature for scripting. Moving on. The problem is that roblox is supposed to be free for everyone to create and play what they want. Here, many users can't create something for free because there is a fee. I don't think that all fees are stupid, but this is a fee that shouldn't exist. People shouldn't be left out of a valuable creative tool because they didn't pay especially since it's supposed to be free for everyone to make a place. The other option you posted was to not use animations which is what people are doing, not because the don't want to pay the fee, they can't pay the fee. |

I just found out about the fee, although i do see some reason in the fee. Roblox is a free game and all but they need money to run up the website,so they earn revenues off the BC Purchases.They also have to pay money to keep the asset server which contains all your gear,hair,shirts,models,other in it. IT wouldnt be fair if People
Started adding thing into THERE server for FREE, That makes them have to spend more money to keep the server up.So they add the fee so you can add stuff to there servers. they make it robux beacuase you have to pay for robux.
Im sorry if i dont make sense. Not good grammar :P |

I agree but there is one thing I don't agree on. I agree with making it free but don't agree with no approval of the animation first. Please lower the price to 5R$, Roblox admins. |

This is an old post, I don't even know if the fee exists anymore, but with all that being said. Roblox is a free game to play and at least create or get a taste of all of the creation aspects on it. Things like paying for gear, paying for clothes, that's all extra. You can play and create games without buying these things. The fee prevents people from actually making something. It really isn't something extra, it's a core part of one of studio modes most basic features. Over time we're slowly seeing, Roblox is becoming less free every year that passes by. Tickets are gone, prices are increasing, they're adding more features to boost robux economy, etc. This is a sign of 2 things, Roblox is becoming greedy OR they're not making enough money. Seeing how much event things they do in real life and how they have giant offices with a ton of not necessary things over at Roblox HQ, they're most likely being greedy. All we can do is pray that they stop what they're doing and make Roblox free again.
