Us NBC people are tired of the price floors, and we sure as heck dont want to spend our real life money just so we can get around on roblox. It takes me 20 days just to buy one full uniform thats ridiculous.
The days when clothes were cheap and could be priced at what ever amount were good, I don't know who's crazy idea it was to raise the price floors to a hundred tickets, forcing people to buy BC or spend money on roblox cards so they can buy uniforms and clothes in general. IF you really do check the forums you would take this into consideration and actually lower the price floors down and have creators be able to set the price to what ever they want
It was better when there wasnt a price floor, now roblox is worse because of the problem. Please fix this issue. |

The price floor was introduced for several reasons:
1) To properly reward clothes makers and inspire them to create high quality content
2) To lower the inflation of Robux to Tix, pre price floor that ratio was nearing 40-50 tix for 1 robux.
In like, 2008-2010, the tix/robux ratio was 1:4 to 1:10. Thats because there were many less active users in the game, now that we have nearly 95 million accounts, about 5 million of which are active, we get about 30 million tix into the game every single day (accounting for people who dont log in every single day). So there are significantly higher amounts of tix in the game now as there was years and years ago. So there need to be ways to remove the tix from the game, thats why there are "Taxes" on gamepasses and anything anyone sells, to take out a bunch of the tix spent on anything. NBC users have 90% of the profits they make removed from the game, thus lowering inflation.
Things cost more now, and people are going to complain because they dont want to:
A) Save money for items
B) Spend significantly large amounts of money on items
C) Willingly spend large amounts of money on items
But its a thing that has to be here, or our economy would have entirely fallen apart, if the tix/robux ratio were still growing, 1 robux would cost 100 tix by now. |

Also, why would it be bad for roblox to make people want and/or need to buy BC? Its not a free game, its a paid game with a free option, just like any other online game. Runescape has f2p, who are limited to 1/5th of the map and get 1/10th of the items and ways to make money. When you buy membership you get all the map, all the items and all the ways to make money.
Habbo Hotel has HC and VIP, two tiers of membership which unlock more character items, places and furniture, along with lots of coins to spend on things.
Club Penguin has membership, without membership you get a very small portion of the character items, 5 pieces of furniture out of hundreds, 1 igloo style and 2 possible pet options. With membership you get everything the game has to offer.
As an NBC you should not expect for Roblox to cater to your every whim and make everything in the game accessible for you, no game make their free option equal to the paid option. |

You are so naive if you think they'll listen to you, especially since it's been 2 years since this was added. They know we hate this, but they don't care. If they did care, it would have been removed. |

They do care about what people have to say about it, however they know that the people complaining about it have no idea what theyre talking about. |

The price floor was also added because of devex.

@Immy
The admins think that the price floors will cause better clothes to be made, but I visit the catalog almost every day and have seen no such improvement.
Some people have suggested that the price floors are the reason for such horrible conversion rates, but they were like this before the price floors were added. |

ROBLOX logic 101:
> Give real money to developers
> Make an update that nobody likes
> Make sponsored events with minimal effort
> Continue to give money to developers

If it weren't for the price floor lots of shirt makers would easily steal money from RBLX.

The price floor encourages piracy. Sure people did it before, but it was when they added the price floor that groups like NBC shirt makers became popular. |

We dont wanna be forced to have to buy BC just to get by in roblox, not everyone has the money, it was better when there was no price floors, |

To be honest. I can care less, MAKE YOUR OWN STUFF or pay BC then copy everyone's templates for yourself. =) Then you will see the benefit. |

ROBLOX needs the money. But if you don't have it, just be patient.
Really, it's easy to be patient. |
