Good point, support.
Fun fact: Price floors are a thing of governmental economical intervention, and that's not very nice for the economy, or the consumers. |

Threads like this are why mods rarely look on this sub-forum. Broken records wanting as many cosmetic items, which do nothing except look 'cool', for themselves everywhere. |

As you can see from what i'm wearing i enjoy having my own right to change clothes or get them whenever i want.
Currently have 256 TIX at the moment and back then i'd be able to buy 3 new pages of clothes.
now i can only afford 2 pieces of clothing and a t-shirt. this is ridiculous.
Call me an OD'er, a kid trying to be cool, or just one those black kids acting ghetto on ROBLOX. I've been here longer than most of the people on this thread, and with my experience of seeing ROBLOX turn from a house being a advanced building to a life size model of the enterprise is only basic building, Price Floor is a complete useless update.
Your all acting like they need the money, they want to promote, they will shutdown, but don't act like ROBLOX has gone straight to the DEV's almost everything is developer based and i already know what your going to say next
" but shouldn't ROBLOX give the DEV's what they deserve? "
WHAT ABOUT US DOE?
remove all the nbc's from ROBLOX and this site will go down faster than soulja's boy career. BC or not we have a purpose here too.
support btw. |

Im not about to go into deep economic rants, but the fact is, Roblox is never lowering the price floor and you need to stop raging just because you cant afford that hat you want in the catalog. THis whole forum post is just one big forum post about OP raging because he cant afford things well bOO HOO LOSER ARSE NOBODY CARES. Roblox isn't gonna do anything, so stop baiting and trying to make them change.
No support. GOd is dead. |

This is a revision of my original price floor bible, explaining why it should at least be lowered by half or 3 quarters.
Table of Contents:
A. The truth behind their Blog post.
B. "It has already been lowered once!"
C. "ROBLOX needs the money"
D. "It's been a year now"/"they wont listen"
E. "WNTS".
F. "It prevents copying."
G. What should be done.
================== A. The truth behind their Blog post. ==================
"1. Raise the quality of items in the catalog."
Incase you havent looked at the catalog, here it is:
http://www.roblox.com/catalog/browse.aspx?CatalogContext=1&Subcategory=12&SortType=0&SortAggregation=3&SortCurrency=0&LegendExpanded=true&Category=3
There's no difference, if not even lower quality in clothing now.
The only high quality clothing I know of came long before the price floor.
Examples please.
"2. Reward makers and sellers of clothing."
Personally, for designing an image, you shouldn't expect much, let alone anything from it.
You even used to be able to sell shirts for free, and people did it, because they cared for their consumers and wanted to benefit them, not theirselves.
They could've raised it to 20 tix at least, but 100 is overkill.
Clothing designing should've remained a hobby done for fun, not a business done for money.
That's an opinion, personally I think it should be done for both.
"3. To incentivize non-paying users to buy ROBUX."
This isn't a reason; every update they make basically encourages this, and, they have an excess of money.
They are a company. They want to make money.
================== B. "It has already been lowered once!" ==================
It has been lowered once, from 250 tix to 100 tix.
That's just going from ridiculously outrageous, to just outrageous.
It's still outrageous. Even if they lowered it, it's still too much and needs to be lowered.
I agree with this.
================== C. "ROBLOX needs the money" ==================
Now, before you say, "they'll shutdown!¡!¡!¡", let me just say, roblox could remove more than 10 updates and still maintain their site without it shutting down.
Price floor is just one of them, and removing it, or anything that was never absolutely needed, will not cause anything to happen.
Again, they make money.
If they really needed the small extra money from price floor, then I think a year later their budget should be in good range now. Now explain to me why it's still here. Here, I'll give you a hint: "gr__d".
They ARE A COMPANY. THEY WANT TO MAKE MONEY.
And before you say: "but they need money!¡!¡":
1. Roblox earned $20 million alone from investors in 2012. Now consider 2014.
2. They earn $50,000 in ad revenue.
3. They earn truckloads of BC income, and i'm sure taking a tiny pebble(pricefloor) out of a rock tower wont cause the whole thing to tumble.
4. They host huge events worldwide.
5. They rented a battleship to one of their events in London.
6. Their servers are cheap 50 mbps ones.
7. They give hundreds and thousands to OBC'ers through devex while profiting from it.
1. roblox now gives them money.
2. users use adblock
3. making money is their job
4. they make money in ticket sales
5. they make money in ticket sales
6. so what? there is a lot of them, think of the thousands of players online right now...
7. to encourage obc buying
And before you say: "They're a company, their job is to make money".
No, that's wrong. Their Job is to satisfy their consumers.
No, that's wrong. THEY STARTED THIS COMPANY TO MAKE MONEY. WHY ELSE WOULD YOU START A COMPANY? IF YOU AREN'T MAKING MONEY, HOW WILL YOU STAY UP? THEY SATISFY CONSUMERS to MAKE MONEY!!!
================== D. "It's been a year now"/"they wont listen" ==================
They think we've forgotten about price floor, which is just what they wanted.
We need to show them we still care and hate the price floor and wont just give up.
We have power as the consumer, and we need to make them listen.
They've been robbing us of more than enough money for over 1 year now.
ok sure i agree
================== E. "WNTS" ==================
The price floor has and never will fall under the category of WNTS.
When they say "Big update" or "Huge feature",
they're talking about updates like Dynamic lighting that take hundreds of lines of code and is almost impossible to undo.
Price floor, on the other hand, was nothing more but the change of the number 5, to 100.
The reaction might've been huge, but not the update.
And may I point out that there is no WNTS anymore.
There is WNTS, they just removed it from sticky. Look under S&I rules. other than that i agree
================== F. "It prevents copying." ==================
Umm, no, last time I checked, it doesn't. It made copying worse, and, the copier makes even more profit.
Public Sources:

http://www.roblox.com/Muscles-With-Tattoos-30K-SALES-item?id=110613050
agree
================== G. What should be done. ==================
The price floor should be lowered to either 25 or 50 tix, if not removed entirely.
It does nothing but monopolize by making the poor poorer and the rich richer.
In no way does it help anyone except make them excess money, which simply, is not needed.
agree
But, that's just common sense. |

The fact that roblox could rent a battleship shows that maybe instead of bleeding our wallets dry, maybe they could try changing up the budget. Instead of giving out money on DevEx to high school dropouts who spend an unhealthy amount of time on a game, they should use that money to run the servers? |

"This update was made to ensure stability in the economy"
This, I agree with
"motivate people to design more."
Some people will remain unmotivated. |

@IthacaMedia
Trade Currency is not balanced,
Don't you need BC for Game Passes/Developer Products? Or 100 r's for game passes?
"remember that you're talking about virtual clothing." It identifies if you are a newbie or not. Many games have some kinda of way that the owners have unknowingly implemented so people will know your a noob.
" 10 Tix does add up, especially if you do Trade Currency. You can double that with Trade Currency easily." Trade Currency is about 15 tickets or more for 1 robux. That doesn't double. Subtract the fact that most items cost 10 robux or more in that catalog, that more than 20 days for 10 robux.
"Also, if you feel as though you're not getting enough as an NBCer, that's a good reason to buy Builders Club. 6 dollars a month is not a lot." In some countries, it can be very expensive, and that only with buying on the website Roblox cards cost 10 dollars where I am near I can only find the 25 dollar ones. |
