HATS
---------------------------------------------------------------
I find myself clicking on the Catalog section and then praying, hoping that there is a new hat which I can actually afford. I am always disappointing when I find that all the hats are for robux. I come from a poor family so I cannot buy the expensive hats.
I have a feeling the same outcome comes from many people who want their character to look nice, but do not want to spend money for a virtual hat. In early 08', hats were sold in tickets. Small price too. Today, it seems as if only money is concerned.
My suggestion is to have two different teams.
The first team would make detailed hats, sold for the same amount as the hats are sold now. I mean very detailed. Including designs where only a few people may notice. The reason being so that we get our worth for the money we spend. I'm not saying to only give one hat a month, but lowering the hats down to only one a week would be fine. As the phrase goes, quality over quantity.
The second team would make simple hats. Something as simple as ribbons or even a cup on your head. These hats will always be sold for tickets. They will mostly be comedic. Hats simply for laughs, not hats to look good. The hats would be affordable for new players, and allow anyone to buy them if they feel the need to. One hat could come out a day, and each worker would have a schedule. For example, worker one must get a hat done every Monday and Friday while worker two would get a hat done every Tuesday and Sunday.
Exceptions could be made, such as the first team "donating" a hat by making it cheaper. The "donated" hat will be for limited sale and cannot be traded. The creator of the hat could simply make a hat cheaper too, allowing anyone to buy a worthwhile hat. (Not saying the second team wont make good hats) The cheaper hats could be sold whenever someone feels like making it cheaper.
The second team could also make a "Awesome hat" The Awesome hat would be the same as any other hat, but the price of the hat would increase for whatever reason. One reason could be simply because another rare hat should be made. Another could be that a worker went above and beyond to create this hat.
Alright, I'm done talking about hats. Although hats seem like a stupid topic, I feel as hats are one of the main items that characterize your character. Heck, an even simpler solution would be to simply make hats much cheaper than they are.
---------------------------------------------------------------
PLACES
---------------------------------------------------------------
The one thing that bugs me is the "Free to Play" Although it used to be true, it is now only true to an extent. The game is still free to play, but now there are places only available to BC only people. This annoys me for the simple fact that it's completely pointless. Whenever I see a BC only place I simply skip over it. Nothing more.
Another thing that bugs me is that there are the BC symbols next to the player names in the game. This does nothing than to provide bragging rights. And as I learned, giving bragging rights to an 8-12 year old is not the smartest idea. I feel as it should be removed simply to stop conflict. The conflict itself is rare, but I have seen it happen. The symbols do nothing good anyways.
---------------------------------------------------------------
HIDDEN ADMINS
---------------------------------------------------------------
Hidden admins will simply be people with admin powers, but they will not appear in-game. It seems like a big job, but only a few people are needed everyday. It's the fact that a Hidden Admin could be in your game watching your every move that could scare people into not doing bad things. Even if it does not scare people, the Hidden Admins could still be useful by banning people in popular ODer places, or places on the front page. After the first month, there could be news about the Admins so people are at least aware of them.
The reason they will be useful is because I have seen so many people spam in a game. Although it wont stop people from spamming, it could at least lower the amount of spam.
--------------------------------------------------------------
NEWS
--------------------------------------------------------------
The news is boring. I think there needs to be something special for the news that could make it interesting. For example, every Sunday, and Admin would go into a popular place and then write an article about it. The admin would be on a different account, so he/she wouldn't be treated differently.
Maybe we could even have a poll on the top places for the week, based on the popularity of the place, and then the ROBLOXIAN people could pick the best of the week. The list would be up to 20 and the winner would get a badge. The Admins could filter out any places which seem like an ODer place such as the Iron Cafe.
--------------------------------------------------------------
ODer's
--------------------------------------------------------------
We have a huge problem. Many people OD, and the main reason is because they can. My idea to fix it would have an Admin monitor the first few pages of the top games and then visit any place as a hidden admin to check out the place, and to check for any ODer's. If the Admins finds an ODer, he could ask other Admins to visit the place and then if the place seems to be a spawn of ODers, the Admin can give one warning to the person who built the place to take it down. If the builder does not, he is IP banned.
Now, this isn't full-proof, a many places as simple as a tycoon can have ODers. If that is the case, the admin can ban the ODers and give a message to the owner to make sure there are no Oders. If a builder has done good for the community, he is not Ip banned, but his place will be taken down. If the builders place is taken down third time, he is IP banned.
Although the IP ban seems serious, people who make games such as "Fashion show" know that they are making something which leads to OD. The Admin even gives a warning.
-------------------------------------------------------------
END NOTE
-------------------------------------------------------------
What I'm saying are simply idea or suggestions. I do not expect them to fully happen, but I hope something changes as this game is turning into a dating zone.
To anyone who read this far, thank you. I hope you read my other post which talks about the condition of the forums.
English is not my native language, so I expect a few grammar mistakes.
Once again, thank you for reading :) |

Very ungratefull. Be happy what you got. I know I have OBC and it sounds like I dont understand but I was NBC for a year before I got OBC and I never complained. Most companys do this and alot charge just to play. Be happy that you can play on ROBLOX for free |

Owait it looked like a top hat. :L
But you haz wings? |

I agree with aaron. Roblox went all ro-bucks to counter the recession going on. Just be happy you can play on Roblox and alter your account image AT ALL. If Roblox did not do that, plus make BC only games, then there would not be a Roblox today most likely. Also, do not complain about there not being any NBC only places, because that can be made though a script, and quite simple also. Honestly, I won't be surprised if Roblox eventually makes TBC+ only places, and OBC only places also...like what they have already done with hats. |

Not ungrateful.
Heck, about 3/5 of the items are a benefit to everyone.
Have you read the News, Hidden admins, and ODer section?
I have my teddy because I know an Admin, and I do have wings. How does that change my argument?
Many people are 8 year old, and do not know how to take advantage of the trading function.
To anyone who thinks this post is 'LOL NED MOAR THINGS FOR NON-BCER"
Please read the News, Hidden Admins, and Oder section.
Also, the Hats section is even better for BCers as the hats would be much more detailed than what Non-BCers have. |

The responses to this thread make me want to cry blood.
Clearly I've read the idea wrong for me to not understand how those who post here could be so callous and ignorant?

I support this. It is like roblox only care about money, not the players having fun. |

Your sentence confused me.
If you do not agree Cobalt, mind telling me why? |

I postest this on a thread earlier today. I feel it is relevant here:
> Here is my honest opinion:
> Ubuntu is an entire OS that gets frequent, regular, stable, reliable, wanted updates. Ubuntu is provided free of charge. Ubuntu's website is free of charge. Its website offers hosting and direct downloads to multiple larger-than-one-gigabyte OS ISOs that can be run from a desktop, laptop, tablet, CD, DVD, and USB on both x86 and x64 architecture. This website also offers tutorials for how to get Ubuntu running, tech support, and a wiki. This site has no ads. It is sustained mainly by donations. Not only that, but Ubuntu offers Ubuntu One - a cloud hosting service which gives you 5 GB of free file storage, with features such as contact & music syncing to a multitude of devices. Ubuntu One has no ads. Moreover Ubuntu also has a download center that - guess what? - has no ads. Ubuntu also generates revenue by selling usless nik-naks, baubles, and clothing.
> ROBLOX is an entire game that gets frequent, irregular, unstable, semi-reliable, mostly unwanted updates. ROBLOX is provided basically free of charge - but to do much of anything you need a subscription. Its website offers hosting of a very small installer package that can only be run on Windows - Macs if you want to use the term "run on" loosely - with only the x86 architecture. This website doesn't offer tutorials to run anything past the vastly under-used wiki. This site offers tech support - but very minimally. This site has ads by the dozen - usually 3 ads per page and lengthy video ads before every game - unless you wish to pay an arbitrary sum of money to remove them monthly. ROBLOX does not have a donation button to my knowledge. ROBLOX offers the hosting of places that usually don't get very large, and pictures who's quality is downgraded to ensure a minimal file size - regardless of your subscription type. ROBLOX used to offer a minimal selection of baubles in '08-'09, but I cannot find them anymore.
> Ubuntu did things right. ROBLOX, however, has done something COMPLETELY and UTTERLY wrong. ROBLOX does not need to sell over-priced personal servers (Really? Paying to be personal?) to generate revenue. Ditch the over-used spam ads. Take away the features that no one wants - refusing to get rid of these features is a waste of your money, and our money. Take an example from free, open-source software developers and - if you REALLY want to be a rabid capitalist - charge 10% higher markup than what's usually expected (Actually, 10% lower will get you more sales, and thus more money in the long run. But seeing as how things are going, I would assume you might not know that?).

Please excuse the double post.
Why do I care?
That is the most ignorant question I have ever seen.
I care because I want everyone to be happy. I want newcomers to have a chance at obtaining a hat without spending money. I want newcomers to enter a place where there are no ODer.
I want people to be excited for the news.
I simply want this game to become a great place.
Also, yes I do have items that the rich have.
Yet, not for the reason of having them. I got my angel wings because of the broken physics. The wings are heavy enough so that I do not jump up when I attack.

Super support, tons of effort put into post, these idea's were needed for ROBLOX for awhile, eversense I joined I hated ODing
you never know who's behind the keyboard.
and hidden admins is the greatest part about ROBLOX protection and stoping ODing and ect,ect
though in your post I didnt see anything about hacking cause it isnt a problem but it would be a good idea to suggest something to stop hacking cause I have seen quite a few hackers in my days. |

> no cussing.
That work used to be in the filter. It is no longer. Hence the admins don't care anymore.

Sadly, I do not know how hackers work, so I did not write anything about it.
If you really want to support this thread, please advertise it, or bumb the post :)

Well. To be truthful I am a hacker, but I do not know how to protect against one.
I was a hacker in the game called BOTS. They had a hack-shield, but I could always by-pass it.
The fact that the game could not protect itself from hackers makes me wonder how ROBLOX could possibly protect itself.
I guess there could be a hack-sheild so that every time you enter a game the game checks for third-party programs. |

Excuse the double-post
For one, no flame-war has started.
Also, I think the hack-shield is a bad idea now that I thought about it.
There is always a way to by-pass one and making a new one every time each one is bypassed would waste time. |

> hack-sheild
I like PunkBuster better. Also, I doubt what you did could be considered "Hacking"..
