For a long time, lots and lots of people who don't have any type of BC have been asking for (what seems to be their agreed daily allowance) "1 robux per day." The thing is, NBC'ers DID used to get 1 robux per day, back before 2013, when ROBUX was worth only 10 tickets (their current daily allowance). The end of 2013 brought two updates: Price Floors and Robux-Paid Ads. These two updates were disastrous, as by mid-2014, ROBUX had risen from what was then considered a high 13 tickets to an insane 28 to 40 tickets. Many of us signed a petition on the Suggestions Forum, and we made the first step into reverting the disaster, by getting ROBUX-Paid Ads removed: http://www.roblox.com/Forum/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=128939063 Almost immediately, ROBUX dropped down to 15-18 tickets, and that is where it stands today. The second step into reverting our current situation with relatively high rates would be to completely eliminate price floors. I understand that price floors help stop plagiarism, but this doesn't stop it from happening (as many clothing companies are extremely expensive in the first place), but there are better ways to fix this issue. If price floors were eliminated, tickets would be used more, as NBC'ers would be able to purchase more things thanks to lower prices, and thus, would quite possibly lower the TC rates to what they were pre-2013. I feel that this is necessary to be done, as it would increase the purchase power for not only NBC'ers, but for everyone.

I support, but petitions on Roblox are as effective as the petitions on change.com. (By that I'm saying they rarely ever work.) #StrikeWithYourDarkheart

Support but it has to be 1 robux every 2 days because that's the rate right now and 2 tickets for the remaining tickets

@Commanderwolf I don't believe you read what I posted. I want to remove price floors to lower the rates to what it was close to pre-2013. These rates will give the daily allowance of 10 tickets more purchase power, as it would be closer to 1 robux every day, which would let them get itmes faster. Also, since there would be no price floor, items could be cheaper and more available to NBC'ers.

I agree with everything here but NBC players getting 1 robuck a day. That would only work to suddenly inflate the robuck due to the millions of inactive NBC accounts and again, would remove incentive for players to buy BC. I agree with the rest, but one thing, plagiarism is NOT decreased by price floors. In fact, it's only encouraging players to plagiarize as people who can't afford shirts, or don't want to have been copying them even more recently. If anything plagiarizing shirts has only become more of a problem since price floors, which would be another thing that would be fixed given this. Honestly I support, and would consider re purchasing my builders club membership of which I was a member for 3 years should this wretched update me removed or re negotiated.

@romuluz I never said NBC'ers would necessarily get 1 robux a day. I said that NBC'ers daily allowance of 10 tickets used to be around 1 robux a day, as the "standard" rates prior to the price floor were 1 robux for 10 tickets.

Ah okay, didn't read that clearly enough. I completely agree with this then aside from the whole plagiarizing thing, but that's a small point. Tbh, there's really nothing good from this update. Shirt creators still make the same as before just in longer bursts as NBC players simply have to wait longer periods of time before purchasing a shirt as opposed to before where NBCers could just plunk hundreds of thousands of robux in tickets into a shirt in a day due to the previous no price floor limit. It also killed small clans.

NBCers keeping more tix and being able to buy more would not help because the amount of people converting tix to robux would pretty much stay the same (more people doing so = worse TC rates). The real cause of the problem was DevEx. That things which makes rich devs convert millions of place visit tickets in a short amount time and removes robux from the economy very quickly. Robux has been in high demand after the ability to convert it into real money. Tix's demand has lowered due to many tix hats being removed. If anything you'll have less people doing the opposite (robux to tix trades) because rich people could just buy all they need with daily tix. Nobody will buy more than 10 shirts a day unless they're binging. The only change removing it will do would worsen rates. Roblox needs to make less robux hats and make more expensive tix hats instead.
