The main reason why Tickets are so worthless compared to ROBUX nowadays is because most items for sale are either exclusively sold in ROBUX or sold in ROBUX and Tickets together.
Because ROBUX is commonplace on ROBLOX-made items, people often don't feel the need to trade their ROBUX into Tickets when they have the option to use it on user-made clothing.
If you understand basic economics, you should know that low demand and high supply will ultimately lower something's price.
Perhaps, to increase the demand for Tickets, we need to increase its usefulness, which will ultimately increase its value.
Thinking back to about a year and a half ago, this situation was seen in the ad system: ROBUX was added as an alternative to paying for advertisements. This took away yet another use of tickets, and thus, severely impacted its value. ROBUX went up to a value ranging from 28 to 40 tickets.
With some petitioning, we were able to remove ROBUX to the ad system, and this made ROBUX only worth 15-20 tickets, about where it is now.
Because removing ROBUX for Advertisements worked so well, what if we were to remove ROBUX for user-created items?
There are a huge number of user-created items. If tickets were dominantly used for them, it would increase its value significantly, and the ROBUX rates could possibly even go below 10 tickets per robux.
This would also "define" the currencies in a way. "ROBUX" would be the currency for "official" items, and "Tickets" would be the "user's" currency.
So what do you think? Post ideas and thoughts below.

In case you were wondering about this line:
"With some petitioning, we were able to remove ROBUX to the ad system, and this made ROBUX only worth 15-20 tickets, about where it is now."

Since ROBUX are used more on ROBLOX, Tix are worthless which is why the Trade Currency is all messed up. If we made it so user-made items could only be sold with Tix it'd fix things. |

Remove robux for user created items? HELL. ****ING. NO.
That would severely impact the value of robux, and the economy would be worse than it already is.

It would lower the value of ROBUX but raise the value of Tickets.
Removing some of the uses of ROBUX has been shown to decrease the rates, as shown with when it was removed from the ad system.
If we want the old "10 tix per robux" system, we need to make tickets to be used more often. |

tl;dr
why are you trying to be so professional like the economy is ok how it is stop trying to math it all up |

So, you are saying that the trade rates will be jacked up, all plans for using the trade currency for more Robux will be messed up, and to get user stuff we need to waste our time to trade currency?
No support.
With great power, comes greatly needing to give it all to me! |

Without the purchase of player created items though, what would robux even be used for, other than uploading audio and making trailers? It would be going way too far.

Hmmm an acctualy quite good suggestion. |

Support. This is something that might be able to restore a small part of the old ROBLOX which was loved by most people.
@Helloburp, ROBUX would be used for hats, gear, faces, etc.

Still, all user created items is overkill.
However, a re-modeling of the place visits system would be interesting.
I'll go make a thread on that.
Maybe it will get support?
