For the uninformed, allow me to state what a ROBLOX update will bring within the next thirty days:
1. The Tickets Currency will be removed.
2. Developers will no longer receive Tickets on place visit.
3. Users will no longer get Tickets from logging in
4. Price floor is lowered on shirts and pants to R$5
5. Trade currency will close. Users will no longer be able to exchange currency with one another.
6. User ads will be available for purchase in ROBUX only.
7. Users and developers can no longer sell items for Tickets. Items with a Ticket and a ROBUX price will be available for the ROBUX price. Items with a Ticket price will have their price converted to ROBUX at a rate of 17:1
8. Tickets will no longer be visible or usable.
The removal of Developers receiving Tickets, which is mentionably not being compensated for a reward of ROBUX per place visit, will crush the incomes of small developers, and thus small developers will begin to lack the incentive to create the games that makes ROBLOX a great place . . . It is argued that ROBLOX developers will still make income off of gamepasses and dev products, and in the future, body parts/hats/gears/etc., but this to me seems to give developers the incentive to make their games pay-to-play to make income, and thus this will crush the quality and availability of ROBLOX games.
The removal of a Tickets bonus will make it next to impossible to earn income of any kind for members without BC. They will be forced to be excluded from all ROBUX items, unless they have earned ROBUX in the past, and be almost entirely limited to the free items on the catalog. This is, once again, promoting a pay-to-win sort of environment on ROBLOX and will crush quality.
The lowering of the Price Floor may at first seem like a decent idea. It was one of the most hated and destructive updates in history. However, the lowering will only benefit the people that actually have ROBUX, and it should be mentioned once again that those without BC will not be receiving much of an income, and thus the lowering of prices will not benefit them whatsoever. Once again, this promotes pay-to-win.
The Trade Currency is used by many to profit, through the manipulation of Limit Orders and spreads. The removal of the Trade Currency will cut off the income of not only NBC'ers, but every single person who uses the TC to profit. Once again, this promotes pay-to-win, and also in a sense is limiting to education.
These changes will deteriorate the quality of ROBLOX and deteriorate what ROBLOX originally stood for. Those who approve of this petition request that the changes will be revised or completely discarded. |
