So I posted this on the "All things roblox" but it's being spammed rn, and I should've posted it here instead, so I'm doing that now. My (And now some other's) idea is to implement a feature where a user can watch an ad and then receive a robuk from watching it. Only users who had been on roblox for a certain amount of time, maybe a year or so, would be able to do this, to prevent bots. There could also be a captcha in place for this too. Not only would this give NBC's a chance to have some robux, it would increase ROBLOX profits in multiple ways. One, the money from the advertisers who are putting there ads in this feature. Two, When NBC's have a taste of what it's like to buy stuff from the catalog, game passes, etc, they're more likely to buy BC and/or robux. Without any robux given to them at all, they have no incentive to buy any. There would also be a limit to how many robux you can earn per day via this option. Feel free to add on to this idea if you like it, or point out flaws so that we can try to fix them. Thanks for considering! |

Finnaly smart idea but it shloud reqiue to turn off adblock |

I entered this thread with heavy skepticism but I'm here now and it isn't actually bad.
Many other game-based sites offer individuals the opportunity to earn exclusive currency by watching advertisements. This rewards the player and the site itself.
I actually support. Your countermeasures of captcha and the minimum year old account would work in my view.

Oh yeah, it'll require adblock to be turned off. Luckily, there are programs for detecting that. |

I use adblock because I find ads annoying.
Perhaps the NBC ROBUX thing should be more of a choice. If you have adblock on, it won't even show up and you can still get into games, if you have it off, you can watch the ads and get a set amount of ROBUX per day.
Personally, ROBUX doesn't matter to me as an NBC player, so having the option to enter games as I do now would be convenient. This is especially true for the clan community, whom rely on quick entries into servers on mass to begin a fight. Having to wait for your NBC members to sit through a thirty second ad can actually be the difference between a victory or defeat.

@blood, I agree. The anti-adblock only works on the robux feature. You'd still be able to play games, but not be able to use the above idea. |

N. It would cause inflation.

@Chat The idea is to only give a little as to not cause inflation, lower devex rates and ruin the limited economy. The rules for "only a couple robux a day" would help with this, as well as the measures to fight bots. Although if there is another way this could cause inflation, please post it, so that we can figure out a way to work around it! |

NBC would probably be spending these ROBUX as they got it, putting it into the system. The people that earn those profits will be making more, and then end up putting their profits to use by buying stuff they want.
It's called consumerism, and it works brilliantly.

"The idea is to only give a little as to not cause inflation"
First of all, there are millions of active users on ROBLOX who would most certainly do this to get 2 ROBUX a day. Even BCers would do it. Even I would do it, and I make 500R$ a day. That's millions of ROBUX coming from No where being put into circulation. That causes inflation and de-values ROBUX.
ROBLOX: [we] will not be giving out free####U#####ich would cause inflation for all users who purchased them)
And if that wasn't the only bad part about the idea, you need to realize how ads work.
Most advertisers don't pay people to look at their ads like when they watch a video. They pay off of people who CLICK the ads so in the end, ROBLOX would gain little ad money considering most advertisers only do about $1 per 100 clicks or so. And if that's the case, even if one MILLION people clicked their ads, ROBLOX would make a measly $10,000 - then with the tax California would put on that, they walk away with $7,500 which isn't much to a company that pays tens of thousands a month for their servers, and pays their 100+ employees over 100K a year, and pays developers up to a $1,000,000 a year.
As well, this wouldn't "solve" any problems. My guess is the main purpose of giving NBCers ROBUX would be to make the community happier, but the problem is they are STILL going to complain. When tix existed, people still complained. Why would it be any different now? They would still need to wait an extraordinarily long amount of time to get a full outfit that would even be remotely considered good by the community, and after a day or two they'll already be bored of that outfit.
All in all, the idea sounds foolproof when you say it, but when you really look into it, it doesn't solve any problems with the community and only puts it at risk for greater ones.

Support, but there should be a daily maximum of ads you can earn robux for watching because there are going to be a lot of kids watching ads 24/7 until they get enough robux to buy a Dominus. |

With the set precautions, bots and macros shouldn't be a problem. Also, VPNs wouldn't be a problem. They're not tracking IP |
