This is a thread to share your opinions on the removal of tickets. But I'm gonna share my opinion first...
I was completely shocked when I saw that they were removing tickets. Yes, it was on the blog. I read the whole page on the blog and I was mad. In this thirty day period, we would not be receiving login bonuses. But SERIOUSLY ROBLOX??? DO YOU EVEN CARE ABOUT THE PEOPLE WHO CAN'T BUY ROBUX BECAUSE THEY ARE POOR?? No, I know you don't. Now that we do not have tickets or the login bonuses, poor people have to pay to look cool. And that would mean that you just want money. Listen, I know you want to make the currency simpler, but honestly, it wasn't hard for me when I joined Roblox, and I was a lot younger when I joined. Since tickets were removed, I am realizing that a lot of people would join a game with the starter noob bodies. They would find out that you need to pay real money to look cool and just quit. To be honest, Roblox will some day turn in to another Club Penguin.
In my opinion, removing tickets was a wrong move for Roblox. But to you all guys, feel free to share your opinion. |

Running a game isn't cheap, ya know.
ROBLOX has many servers to run, and it costs money.
Running a Corporation also costs money. |

Just heard that. My real point is that now you need Robux to get clothes, and since no more daily login bonuses, you have to BUY robux just to get clothes. But I agree w/ your opinion |

NASA has selected eight technology proposals for investment that have the potential to transform future aerospace missions, introduce new capabilities, and significantly improve current approaches to building and operating aerospace systems.
Awards under Phase II of the NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC) Program can be worth as much as $500,000 for a two-year study, and allow proposers to further develop concepts funded by NASA for Phase I studies that successfully demonstrated initial feasibility and benefit.
“The NIAC program is one of the ways NASA engages the U.S. scientific and engineering communities, including agency civil servants, by challenging them to come up with some of the most visionary aerospace concepts,” said Steve Jurczyk, associate administrator of NASA’s Space Technology Mission Directorate in Washington. “This year’s Phase II fellows have clearly met this challenge.”
Phase II studies allow awardees to refine their designs and explore aspects of implementing the new technology. This year’s Phase II portfolio addresses a range of leading-edge concepts, including: an interplanetary habitat configured to induce deep sleep for astronauts on long-duration missions; a highly efficient dual aircraft platform that may be able to stay aloft for weeks or even months at a time; and a method to produce “solar white” coatings for scattering sunlight and cooling fuel tanks in space down to 300 °F below zero, with no energy input needed.
The selected concepts are:
Advancing Torpor Inducing Transfer Habitats for Human Stasis to Mars, John Bradford, Space Works, Inc. in Atlanta
Cryogenic Selective Surfaces, Robert Youngquist, Kennedy Space Center in Florida
Directed Energy Interstellar Study, Philip Lubin, University of California, Santa Barbara
Experimental Demonstration and System Analysis for Plasmonic Force Propulsion, Joshua Rovey, University of Missouri in Rolla
Flight Demonstration of Novel Atmospheric Satellite Concept, William Engblom, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Florida
Further Development of Aperture: A Precise Extremely Large Reflective Telescope Using Re-configurable Elements, Melville Ulmer, Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois
Magnetoshell Aerocapture for Manned Missions and Planetary Deep Space Orbiters, David Kirtley, MSNW, LLC in Redmond, Washington
Tensegrity Approaches to In-Space Construction of a 1g Growable Habitat, Robert Skelton, Texas Engineering Experiment Station in La Jolla, California
NASA selected these projects through a peer-review process that evaluated innovativeness and technical viability.
“Phase II decisions are always challenging, but we were especially challenged this year with so many successful Phase I studies applying to move forward with their cutting-edge technologies,” said Jason Derleth, the NIAC program executive at NASA Headquarters in Washington. “Whether it's tensegrity habitats in space, new ways to get humans to Mars, delicate photonic propulsion, or any one of the other amazing Phase II studies NIAC is funding, I'm thrilled to welcome these innovations and their innovators back to the program. Hopefully, they will all go on to do what NIAC does best - change the possible.”
All projects are still in the early stages of development, most requiring 10 or more years of concept maturation and technology development before use on a NASA mission.
NIAC is funded by NASA’s Space Technology Mission Directorate, which innovates, develops, tests, and flies hardware for use in NASA’s future missions. Through programs such as NIAC, the directorate is demonstrating that early investment and partnership with scientists, engineers and citizen inventors from across the nation can provide technological dividends and help maintain America's leadership in the new global technology economy.

Opinions on people spamming useless tix threads.
This is totally not a siggy or something like that. |

Sometimes a business is desperate to keep their business up, so they must do decisions. Without the removal of tix, Roblox would've been shut down earlier.

roblox wasn't meant to be a game for ur character to be fashionable, it's a place where people can make their own things and share their work with everyone else (which is still free)

@Colin1255 Exactly what does NASA have to do with removal of tix? |

Ooh, I got something else to say. You know how Roblox started selling free stuff. Before tix was removed, people would call others noobs for acting like one or looking like one. Now most people call others noobs for wearing free stuff. Poor people like me get those free stuff because we can't get anything else. And yes, a guy in a game was once calling me a noob and one of his reasons was that I was wearing free hair, and I only took that item because I thought I looked better in that than in Shaggy, and I still do. So yeah, removing tix doesn't improve our community in any way. |

It was a great idea to remove TIX they messed up Roblox currency in the first place
|
|
|
In my opinion, I feel they should've fixed tix or added in an alternate currency. However, the ability to customize your character has been viewed as a more optional thing, sorta like something that only paying customers should do, same with many of the other features, such as getting perks thru gamepasses.

It's stupid, I'm at 0 Robux and I'm 90% sure I'll never get any more because God knows I'm not buying Robux. |

I hate you Daiyze
Also to anyone reading this, this was my opinion a LONG time back, and it's obviously changed. I moved on from tix
