I completely agree I was suggesting make 1 ROBUX be 10 TIX in my post. However, I noticed an error in your post. It's not 16 TIX for 1 ROBUX, its 47 TIX for 1 ROBUX.

Bayview, that was a bit of an immature way of stating it. Either way, he's right. This is a suggestion's subforum. It's here for a reason. Just because our idea isn't in here, does that mean we should, "just deal with it"? Should we simply ignore it and let this subforum be completely useless, because we should "just deal with it" and not ask for any more than we already have? Checkmate.

Agreed. At the time of this post the Market Trade Value for Tix to 1 ROBUX is 31:1. Ludicrously high. There's literally no reason to have tickets now being there aren't many items worth getting with tickets, the economy is pretty much non-existent.

You can't just FIX the economy like that. Roblox is going to end up unnaturally loosing a lot of money.

@cntkillme No, you probably can't. But at least you can start right now and do it before it's too late to reverse down the road.

@asdfghjkl12345 This is an economics term known as "kicking the can down the road". If the problem is ignored, and pushed back for a later time just because it can't be immediately fixed, then eventually it will be impossible to fix and later ROBLOX generations will have to deal with the full extent of the issue. There is a simple fix, as I stated. ROBLOX needs to give players incentive to convert ROBUX into Tickets. If everything is on sale for ROBUX, nobody is going to convert their ROBUX into tickets because Tickets won't buy anything. In order to make tickets more valuable and bring back the 10:1 ratio, there needs to be and equal number of items on sale for Tickets and for R$. The more expensive the ticket items and the less expensive the R$ items, the better.

In addition, the reason for the recent inflation is due to too much R$ in the market system. This is known in economics terms as the quantity theory. When everybody has tons of R$ (i.e. TBC,OBC), ROBLOX raises catalog prices in order to meet consumer (buyers) demands. That is why there needs to be OVERPRICED ticket items sold until the system is re-balanced (Like the Blackvalk).

No, I think 15:1 is fine. (Just my opinion).

Yeah, this is a bit of a problem. The price floor is a big part of it, since users aren't spending as much as they would have before. They're holding onto their tickets. But, Roblox most likely won't remove the floor, so we need other solutions. If they'd start making some affordable tickets hats (probably anywhere for 10 - 5000 tickets), I think that could really help. ~The OT Snowman~

The price floor got it from 30-40tix to R to about 15:1. There still needs to be an improvement until its normal again. Support, in addition, maybe the price floor can be lowered slightly.

I support this entirely. It makes sense and is not unreasonable. These potential solutions are not very complex economical concepts.

10:1 was fine back when it was here. You're also BC, so it kind of nulls out your opinion on this due to the fact you get R$15/222 tix per day. Oh, and the fact that its rising from 15:1 to an even higher number. teehee

If you're going to convert hats into TIX value, then the value should be xTIX:ROBUX. So if it was 16:1, then a 10R hat would be 160TIX.
