Are you too lazy that this is an incentive to buy Robux?

Because before, you had a name and were done with it.

I agree, it should be lowered or there should be a system to earn a name change more easily. So if you're a veteran robloxian (1 Year+) you can get a special super hard quest to unlock a name change. Did you say you like trains? No, you don't. I like them. Choo Choo! Train -> -ooI ---THINKER OF LBC---

It takes alot of there systems to change all of your friends profile's with your new username, Also they want you to have somthing to pay robux for.

@TheCrazy nope. If you know how databases work, it stores usernames on the users row, and that row can be updated. When you have someone friended it stores their row id, which is also your user id like 195329 (Mine). So technically your friends list is a bunch of numbers. It's cheaper on resources to keep track of the users id then to store their username everywhere. I work with databases a lot :) local siggy = Instance.new("siggy"):Destroy() -- Twitter @umaybleed

Then again, on sitetest 2 (The land of wealth), everyone changes their names every 5 seconds, so that's probably one. I made a new word! It's called plagiarism!

Well some users can't buy robux or don't have enough robux to change their username
