[INTRODUCTION]:
Uniforms are a very influential part of a group. Such uniforms are important, because ultimately, they are what people use to represent their groups all throughout Roblox; they use them to represent their clans when they play games, when they're in a battle, when they're foruming, etc.
But of course, when Roblox introduced the Price Floor, things grew complicated for clans. The majority of new recruits suddenly weren't able to afford the uniform. And clans could either admit them all at the expense of everything stated above, or they could do what a lot of clans are doing right now: simply not recruit them. It's sad. The options of these people are limited because most clans don't want them since they can't blend in with a uniform. And that also leaves clans to suffer since they now have a lot less people to recruit. There are also clans that DO recruit them, but just don't let them be promoted b/c of their lack of uniform. There's a lot less pride when raiding if your people can't properly represent your group.
I understand why Roblox has the Price Floor now, and why just removing it from the group store would still defeat its purpose. But I have a better idea in mind. One that both satisfies the need for supplying uniforms AND the need to prevent the leaking of clothing.
[SOLUTION]:
Give groups the option to have this: Whenever someone joins the group, they automatically recieve the uniform shirt and pants in their inventory. But it's not theirs to keep per se. If they leave the group, the uniform is removed from their inventory. They only own it for as long as they're in the group.
But also know that there are usually different uniforms depending on rank. So to make it more flexible, there can be a uniform for every rank. So when someone is promoted to a new rank, their previous uniform is removed, and they recieve the new one. And it just goes on like that.
So then we'd solve the problem of new recruits needing a uniform, AND it would still thwart people from leaking clothing because in order for someone to own the clothing, they'd have to give up a group slot. Not to mention that it would cost way more to leak the clothing than to buy it. That's a very poor trade-off. The good heavily outweighs the bad here.
So please, support this idea for it's a cause that's close to many hearts. Thank you. |

tl;dr version :
Uniforms are very good, people can't afford them, it makes people sad, Roblox, make group uniforms for each rank that you get for free and when you leave you lose the group uniform.

1/2 support.

That works for patroling at least. But not for raiding or for representing your group anywhere else. |

Support I guess, I'm not one of those clanners so it never bugged me. |

I'm supporting 1/2 because I don't know how this would work, could people create groups with many many ranks and let NBC'ers get free clothes? Group uniforms are also one of the most major ways groups make funds. It could tear some small groups apart. |

It would be optional. I mean, the group store would still be there, price floor included.
It's just adding an option that a group owner could pay to add. Also, when you are promoted to a new rank, the uniform from your former rank would be removed.
So at worst, newbie players would have 5 sets of free clothing. That's IF some bucko' with BC and the money is dedicated enough to leak it like that. Several bucko's actually. |

This will defeat the point of the group store. How will groups get Tix/Robux for ranks and advertising? In addition, people spend a lot of time on uniforms, and you give them away for free?
I might support, but on a different condition; the price floor should be decreased for groups. Maybe like 20 - 50 tix? |

@Cpmod
Uniform GUI's aren't effective enough. It at least works when you're on your own turf, but when you're raiding or somewhere else, you're members won't have the means to represent the clan.
@Powerhotmail
If they need AD money, then groups can offer items meant to collect donations, as they've been doing for years before the price floor. The group store would remain, so they would still be able to sell their uniforms for permanent ownership. Realize that they wouldn't be GIVING them per se, but lending. Leaders are aiming to keep their members united under a uniform much more than to make money off of them. All the clans people that supported this can be my testimonial in that respect.
In all, it's important to realize that this is an additional feature, not a replacement. |
