On the 14th of April at 10:30AM PST, TIX was removed. This had caused major problems for NBC and some groups.
Firstly, Now that TIX is removed, NBC no longer get a currency to buy stuff, which stops NBC from getting:
• Clothes
• Game passes
• TIX to ROBUX conversion
• Everything you can do with ROBUX
As you can see, Removing TIX is basically like making all NBC homeless. This also makes ROBLOX similar to Club Penguin, where you need membership for nearly everything. Also, the removal of TIX stops login bonus, making ROBLOX less attractive to play in.
Now that TIX has been removed, We now fall into the problem of number of developers dropping. ROBLOX slogan is "power of imagination". TIX used to be a bonus per time someone visited your game. Roblox says "Currently, only a very small portion of our top developers’ income is from Tickets." Note that they said "top developers". What about NBC developers, and developers of group places? TIX is the fuel of imagination, as they know that you get 1 TIX per visit, and now ROBLOX is removing this fuel.
Groups will also be affected now. One of ROBLOX 1 QnA question was "I have a business making clothing on ROBLOX. Will I make less money going forward?" They responded with "We are reducing the price floor on shirts and pants from 10 to R$5." Quite clearly ROBLOX is trying to avoid the fact that groups will no longer get income from NBC, which is where most groups get there money from. Also, group uniform will also be a problem, as new members will no longer be able to buy the new uniform without BC, meaning that either the owner of the groups allow no uniform, which will make the group look very unprofessional, or to change there game to automatically give them a uniform, or to not allow any NBC to have a job in a group.
ROBLOX may say that it takes time for us to get used to this. But I don't think that's a valid excuse for this change. As quite clearly the removal of tix has more disadvantages than advantages. This also ruins the representation of ROBLOX, as ROBLOX appearance will change to "WE WANT YOUR MONEY". There blog on the removal of TIX state very few benefits for NBC. Also note that ROBLOX is NOT in a financial problem as they go on to say "We are profitable and will be hiring ### additional employees in ##### #### supported by our profits." If there profitable, then why did they remove TIX? At least ROBLOX should give some NBC benefits, such as allowing users to make free shirts etc
