But this suggestion is more for the developers making more money and ROBLOX making more money rather than the NBCers getting R$. That's just a byproduct.
This is good largely because it would theoretically increase the economy's worth and productivity exponentially while solving the lack of "free" currency issue.
It isn't here because "i want free r$111!!!11!!! wat happen 2 my tixets??!1!1!!11! oh muhgod this gaim blows!1!11!!!!" |

Also don't forget the fact that this would make gameplay and content that much more awesome and meaningful, like ruin was saying. |
|
|
It does inadvertently help NBCers though. |
|
|
support probably should summarize better though |
|
|
tl;dr
Also why post this kind of thread on my birthday?!

I got some pretty great replies, bringing up good points. Thanks guys!
@Lucario
Since you brought up all sorts of good points and led the discussion, i'm gonna address this to you.
As a reminder in your last post, you mentioned that I needed to explain some of the details more, and to look for a solution to click bait.
I shall go about explaining the details a little more, and to share my potential solution to click bait and bots.
Ad StipendS in More Detail!: In short, 5%-15% in ad stipends from advertisements on the game, paid out at the end of each month.
If you would like to see my (very lengthy) reasoning, then please read on.
Now before I start, I would like to share the thread that originally inspired me: https://forum.roblox.com/Forum/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=118223453 (In order to get where i'm coming from, you'd should only have to read the 3rd post, which i'll be referencing a few times.)
Now, to actually get started.
As advertisements alone likely make up about 50% of roblox's income, it would be dangerous to give all earnings to the players.
Therefore using the "3rd post" I mentioned earlier as an example: If Roblox makes 150,000$ off a game within a year (Most of which likely comes from advertisements and other traffic, and lesser sources being robux purchases, etc) and then gives the Developer 500$ in DevEx a month totals to 6000$ a year.
6000$ is 4% of 150,000.
However as the Developer mentioned that he has been offered more(1400$ a month) for coding outside of roblox, which if he had, would result in a expensive loss for Roblox, way more than they would lose by paying more.
Now I can think of two ways of offering developers more moolah($), either they can loosen up on DevEx or give out Ad Stipends.
Now, for this post i'm only gonna go into the latter, as I see it as more beneficial to R$ Fission.
Now, lets say that 50% of 150,000$ is made up of advertisements. This equates to 75,000 and taking 5% gives about 300$ a month, that is 3600$ in a year.
or, 15% which equates to about 900$ a month, which equates to 10,800 a year.
both of which isn't a large blow to roblox's income. so, I believe somewhere between 5-15% would be a good percentage.
In conclusion, I believe that ad stipends would help keep Developers from focusing only on purchases, but to consider traffic as well.
And potentially, bring developers outside of roblox to make a living.
Click-bait and Botting: With the addition of ad stipends there are bound to be those would try to abuse it, botting and click-bait.
Borrowing from my old post, there is one requirement before being able to earn ad stipends in a game, a player requirement of atleast 100 must be reached before earning ad stipends.
However this encourages click-bait, as many would be able to reach the front page achieving 1000+ players. So I have a new proposition.
So I'm gonna borrow from goldfishmemories's old post to find a solution.(https://forum.roblox.com/Forum/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=145756222)
"The BC Exchange"
in order to make this more compatiable with R$ Fission though, i've gotta change a few things around.
Here is my revised BcEx:
-A new exclusive membership of some sort would be added. It would not conflict with existing ones, meaning you could have BC,TBC or OBC with this new membership.
-The benefits of this membership is being to get BC,TBC or OBC at a discount of 40-60% for creating great content for roblox and being able to afford OBC so they can use DevEx without having to fork over as much money.
In addition Players with this new membership would be allowed to receive ad stipends in addition to the money they already make from DevEx
However, being in this membership does not award robux, or any other features other than those mentioned above.
-In order to obtain this new membership the player would need to get their game on the featured section of games, which these games are already choosen by roblox for their quality.
As a result, this new membership would allow Players who create high quality content, achieve additional income for their games, thus encouraging high quality content from our developers, all the while effectively killing click-bait and keeping moderation of bots at a minimum. |

@summer
Idk if your BCEx would necessarily kill clickbait, because while it's adding incentive to make non-clickbait content, it isn't destroying the incentive to make clickbait content (because based off of your suggestion I could still get ad stipends from my clickbait game).
Other than that it sounds ok to me.
Also, have you ever also considered making a R$ fission thread? Because the OP originally said that he wanted people to make R$ fission suggestion threads of their own, and it seems like you could make a good one.
If you do that, we'd probably come support it.
We've got Kudos's R$ fission, and if you made something like Summer's R$ fission it could start a trend. |

@summer
That sounds really complicated added on top of this suggestion, but maybe if you made your own R$ fission that worked this way it would be simpler. Imo Kudos's R$ fission is fine how it is. |

I think you guys are right, I will do some brain storming and see if I can find anything else to add and look for any potential problems. Thanks again guys!
In addition, I think multiple threads might be the best way to grab roblox's attention. "Lets make some waves, friends!"

we can't do anything like spend time fighting epik ducks because ROBLOX state that it will be "ultimately botted"
I have my own forum and you can visit it here: thisroblox.boards.net |

@Flute I get that but ROBLOX is not going to listen, they'll only go by what the developers say, sadly greed can ruin your business, :( I was planning on opening a gaming company but I'll always go by "the customer is always right" ROBLOX is gonna die, maybe sooner than later :,( |

Roblox removed tickets because they are greedy. Not because of "bots", or whatever lies they said. Nothing will EVER change. The more Benjamin toilet paper David uses, the worse it's going to get. |

Support.
hi there |
|
|
|
Omg sooo much reading my brain hurts >:\ -.- yet I still read it -.- |
|
|
Also I just noticed this but the sales tax on developer items should be little to null just because it needlessly takes robux out the system. They should only make a bigger sales tax if there's too much (which is nearly impossible).
That way people's hard bought robux isn't getting destroyed inhibiting the R$ fission system and in the end ROBLOX's R$ fission profits and content. Who's with me? |

If you say you can change existing robux into variations, why not just keep your almighty current robux and be able to buy everything?
I support, but according to Roblox, the problem is that "they are confusing to first-time users."
