I see lots of things like this, and some of them just say the title and thats it, so here are some arguments to the concerns to the post they said...
It's too confusing for new users
First off, imma say that some arguments might be horrible to other eyes, but anyway, how is it confusing? All it is is a second currency, and I'm pretty sure there are lots of games with a normal currency, and a premium currency, 2 different currencies. So anyone that plays games should already know this, and this is exactly what ROBLOX is, a gaming platform.
People will come in just to "check in"
Just make it so that you have to play for a certain amount of time to get TIX, simple (again, might be horrible to others) and to stop idling, they could just make it so in your first x minutes of a game, the AFK kickout timer would lower to x minutes/seconds
And now time for a long paragraph
ROBLOX said that there would be more free stuff, but realistically, when you realise that people are coming and people are leaving, soon, there will be tons of people wearing the same clothes with different combinations, and ROBLOX might say "People will spend money on ROBUX so there would be more variety." But when you look at the numbers, only a low 1.9% of people spend money on in-game currency, and that doesn't even take for account the people that are willing to make a monthly purchase on a game. Not to mention that the people that spend money on games (not all) will become, how do I say it... Meaner, I'll put it this way, have you ever been called a noob just because of your clothes. Happens a lot, people judges books by their covers a lot. And even I admit to doing it (Not the mean part, just judging people by their cover). Next, people that spend money could, could be overpowered in games, they could just buy all the gamepasses while the rest of the people have to play the hard way. Also ROBLOX said that you could just ROBLOX Top Model to dress up better. But what if you want to have that cool avatar for different game that doesn't do dress-up? That argument ROBLOX made only applies to a few games. And some people might be saying "Just do the Affiliate Program or make Gamepasses" And really, the fastest way is just to buy ROBUX, but if for some reason you couldn't buy ROBUX, then getting it would be so much harder, almost impossible to get ROBUX, causing mean diversity. So first off, the Affiliate Program, I'm pretty sure not much people know about it, and besides it said that you get 5% free ROBUX of the ROBUX purchased by somebody using a link you generated, but that is basiclly useless, remember you only get 5% of purchased ROBUX, not to mention that 1.9% buy rate. And finally, the gamepasses problem, you COULD make a gamepass, but you would only get 10% of the profit. And for new people that want to start developement, sadly people rarely play new places, and would you want to spend ROBUX on a game that nobody plays, rendering it useless?
In conclusion, ROBUX is a great thing... For people that spend money on games, for the others ROBLOX is a hard place. So TIX should be brought back so new players could not be judged by their looks and people that spend money couldn't be too OP. |
