TIX have been a long time currency of ROBLOX, and until the last few years, TIX haven't been a problem. Before, the exchange rate of TIX to Robux and vice versa was balanced, and did not fluctuate with the economy. (10 Tix equalled 1 Robux, Not 50 Tix equals 2 Robux)
Currently, there is an excessive amount of Tix being kept by users and not spent, causing the market value of Tix to fall, in terms of their relation to Robux. Hence the term Inflation. When the value of Tix fall, it becomes harder to get Robux.
TIX, because they are so easy to earn (All users recieve 10 Tix per daily login + an additional 1 Tix for every place visit), many users over the years have hoarded Tix because they are continuously dropping in value and always have been. Users are turning to Robux, the Now more Valuable and Marketable currency on ROBLOX.
The over-inflation of TIX leads me to suggest that Tix be absolutely removed from ROBLOX. The value has dropped to a point that seems beyond return. TIX are not going to be spent as long as there are inactive accounts that gain TIX by way of place visits, or hoard the Tix that we're missing.
Removing TIX from ROBLOX will remove vast amounts of inflation, due to the fact that there is only One currency, Robux, and that currency will not have market value because there are no Tix to buy it. Robux, however, can continue to be bought by real money. (US Dollars, Pounds... etc)
All current TIX should be transferred to Robux by way of their current market value. If a user has 500 Tix, and would recieve 30 Robux in today's value, then give that user that amount of Robux, and remove their Tix. A place visit would earn a user 0.1 Robux, meaning that 10 visits would equal 1 Robux. The daily login bonus for all users would be 1 Robux plus any BC Benefits.
Prices of many items, Limited or Non, would drop. Their value would not decrease, but the prices would drop because Robux is the only currency and easier to come by. Because Robux becomes the only virtual currency of the site, inflation could not happen because it would have no market value in terms of another virtual currency- Robux is Priceless. Not even real world currencies, which are used to purchase Robux, could affect the value of Robux, because Robux has no real-world value.
What do you think? Should we Remove TIX and install Robux as the only currency of Roblox? Questions, Comments, Concerns and Your Support are All appreciated! |

TIX are useless, but people actually pay real world money for Robux, and when Roblox gets more real money, they get more happy. |
|
|
No, separate them; like I said in my thread. |
|
|
TL;DR but I still got the idea.

Sometimes the longer ideas are the ones that are taken, and vice versa. |

TL;DR is inadequate. |

There goes one way for NBCers to get more currency without spending any money. You're only going to make it better for the lazy type who does nothing except wait for daily tix. And this is probably going to fill the forum with hate from TCers for at least several days if added. |

Here's TCing in a nutshell: Trade tix to R$ at a lower rate and do the opposite when the rate fluctuates up.
Try to guess the problem for TCers if tix gets removed.
Also, note that R$ has a real world value of $0.0025 due to DexEx. |

If you look at the value of the tix its 17 for 1 robux now but used to be 10 tix for 1 robux and this makes it really hard to trade without losing money. |

@Blackhero9;
I had this idea before so obviously I support, however don't waste your time in S&I since the majority are dumb/lazy and won't understand a thing of what you typed (Assuming they have read it).
Also, I still think the main cause of inflation is DevEx, and here is the proof :
-Developers earn tickets for places visits : An increase in number of tickets.
-They exchange it to ROBUX via Trade Currency : Now they flood it with a ton of TIX resulting in a fall of TIX value.
-They exchange those ROBUX to real money : Those ROBUX are gone now and the market is left with a load of TIX.
It's true devs was doing that before DevEx (I mean trading tickets for robux), however Devs weren't exchanging all their TIX and some didn't bother at all (As before the only reason to get ROBUX was to buy hats..), now because it involve real money everyone just spam the trade currency with his tickets.
Notice that the problem only appeared AFTER the introduction of DevEx, I remember the first month after that when the rate was over 23.000/1.000..
While your solution is the best to get rid of inflation, we can just alter the DevEx procedure and make Devs able to earn money DIRECTLY from exchanging Tix without involving robux. This way only tickets are deleted and robux are conserved.

so its now impossible to buy clothes? how the hell are we going to make robux? are we going to have to buy robux from now on? |

As much as this sounds like a good idea, at least 50% of the Roblox community, possibly more will be FURIOUS. Think about it, they then go and tell their friends that ROBLOX sucks. And those friends, if they have another friend who played, they'll tell that friend that ROBLOX sucks.
And with the thousands of sponsors it's obvious, if ROBLOX did remove TIX, it wouldn't be for inflation related reasons. It would be because they want money. |

The reason robux cost money is, for they need the money to keep the site alive. |
