Hello.
As most of you know, there is Builders Club and Non-Builders Club. (There is also Turbo and Outrageous Builders club, but theses are redundant). You are also surely aware that BC users have more rights than Non-BC users, (like a greater login bonus, access to better gear, even game servers reserved just for them!), because they spend $5.95 a month on ROBLOX. Fine. However, some of the prices and restrictions here are truly outrageous, even for BC users! Here are a couple of things I propose:
1. INCREASE LOGIN BONUS/ DECREASE ITEM PRICES
There is some awesome gear in the catalog. The same gear is also very expensive. Take for instance, the basketball, on page 4 in the gear section of the catalog. It costs R$100. Ok, that's not so bad for a BC user. They can save up that much money in a week using the login bonus. The NBC user however, isn't quite so lucky.
An NBC user gets 10 Tix every day for logging in. On an avarage day on the market exchange, that translates to roughly R$1. This means that, to buy the same basketball, the NBC user has to save up for 100 days! That's over 3 months!! Here it should be obvious already that the NBC user is seriously left out in the cold.
And that's not even the worst part! The items in the catalog are arranged by price. We're only on page 4 of the gear section, and the prices are already exceeding R$100! And the gear section has 21 pages! Lets now look at some of the more "luxurious" gear.
Ah! Here's a good one! Page 16. The Icicle cannon. It costs R$750. Now THAT'S a lot of money. A BUILDIERS CLUB member would spend 7.4 weeks (2 months) saving up for that. An NBC user? HE'D have to save up for.... (drumroll please).......
750 days. In other words, a little less than 2 YEARS. FOR ONE ITEM!! And believe it or not, that is still cheap. The most expensive unlimited gear, the Rock it guitar, on page 20, costs R$2001. A Builders club member would have to save up for 133 days to get that item. That's over 4 months. An NBC member? You don't want to know.
Now I know what you're thinking: Just buy Robux/Builders club. But what about those who CAN'T? Take me for instance. I am 14. I:
* Have no credit card.
* Have no steady source of income. (Even if I did, I'd have no real real way to get the money to ROBLOX).
* Am no longer "adorable" and would have little success in getting my parents to buy it for me.
In other words, I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place. I'm sure there are many Robloxians who can relate as well.
So my proposal? Either get rid of the insane prices. (Seriously, does anything need to cost more that a few hundred R$?), OR raise the login bonus, (an extra 15 tix for NBCs, 10 extra R$ for BC, 20 extra R$ for TBC and OBC).
2. LET NBC USERS DESIGN A LIMITED NUMBER OF THEIR OWN STUFF
Ok, this one will be harder to do, but I believe it's possible. I know we as NBC members already have the ability to create T-Shirts, but how about a little more? What if we were allowed to make say, 3 Pants and 3 shirts? This is, again, for people who can't get Builders Club. This will allow NBC users to truly express themselves the way they want to. (Within ROBLOX regulations of course). After they are made, you would not be able to make more until you delete the ones you have or buy Builders Club.
3. ALLOW NBC USERS TO SELL STUFF
Please? C'mon, if we bought it, why shouldn't we be able to resell it if we don't like it?. You could set something up so that we could only sell it for up to 1/2 what we paid for it. (That way, stuff worth less than 2 tix/R$ could not be sold, only deleted). This will also allow NBC users to sell the unique items they make, getting them into the market buisness. ROBLOX is about creating things. Sure, BC members can do it better, but that's not to say that we NBC members can't!
That is all. I am willing to compromise with these suggestions. All I ask is that you consider them. That is all.

1. Yes, just lower prices though, by 5 to 15% for everything above 150 robux.
2. No. That is something that should be kept BC.
3. Just limited and limited U stuff.

Yes, I agree with you that my parents are just like yours. I have no income and my parents are so strict and only care about my education.
Although us making hats isn't such a great idea. We don't know how to use it, and we can't even make meshes anymore, how do expect us to make hats? So no Support on that.
For us selling items, even though is says no BC features for NBC, who cares? We actually need the money...or atleast let us sell our Limited Items we don' want anymore to get money. Support on that!

get money by doing some work for neighbors like mowing lawns or just by collecting cans.
with the money you collected, you can go to a local store and buy a ROBLOX card,
or you go to a local store and head to a coinstar machine. select Ecertificate and Rixty. go home and make a rixty account and reddem your Ecert. go to ROBLOX and get some builders club or something by using rixty. |

^ Exactly my point. Try saving up for Telamon's foe hammer. (Hint, You'll be in your 30s-40s by the time you get it). |

Even if people save up, there is a high chance the parent's won't buy it. That is what is up with my parents. My parents money or mine, it doesn't matter to them.

I support most of this thread except for the lowering prices part but everything else I full support and I am OBC. NBC should get 50 tix a day in my opinion and this I fully 110% agree on. Let NBC sell stuff because I mean if they sell stuff, you technically make profit because the 25% market fee goes to you so you make more robux and NBC dont waste their money |

I agree with that even tho we have to save more money for our favorite stuff but we give up because it going higher the price some of BC members sell their stuff like vip or shirts,pants and other thing they sell it like 1000 tix and 100 R$ believe it or not go to playrobot game *Robloxville* and go to the badges then click the christmas or which i say the snowflake picture and u can see a christmas vip copy it and paste it u can see the price she sell it!
i agree all he says |
|

i say that the price a limited:U item is sold for can be no larger than 200% that of the original price, seeing as i saw a gear, original price:200 R$, user resold price: 20,000 R$. come on, seriously? |
|
|
Well, don't worry, at that price I doubt anyone will buy it. :) |
|

1. Sounds reasonable.
2. Limited... eh, that's a little iffy.
3. No. Too much of a BC benefit.

Ambassdor program can get you up to 50 tickets extra a day. For a total of 60 ticket/6 Bux which is 60% of what BC's get.

1. INCREASE LOGIN BONUS/ DECREASE ITEM PRICES
>> Yes. Yes. Yes! The point you got across was excellent. Items are much too expensive. As a result, NBCers can't obtain items too often...
2. LET NBC USERS DESIGN A LIMITED NUMBER OF THEIR OWN STUFF
>> Hmm... I'm not too sure about this one. ._.
3. ALLOW NBC USERS TO SELL STUFF
>> As someone has said before, limited items only, perhaps...
