Roblox has recently started to annoy me, its a great game! dont get me wrong, but i just saw something a second ago that made me snap. Roblox mobile for BC ONLY! Roblox is running a monopoly, its a great game, only one of its kind, so they use us. Anyone who does not spend money, is in robloxes view, a bad person. For example. a 500 robux hat would require you to have BC for a month, which cost 6$. 6$ for a hat in a game. And its not even a nice one! Nexr example, a nice hat.Nice hats or gear can be up to 5000 robux. That takes 10 times as long, which means 10 times the money. You pay 60 dollars for a nice hat. And thats not all! People want multiple hats! Really nice hats! Really nice things! For 3 nice hats, it cost 15,000 robux, which roblox thisks is not that much. People don think of it alot becouse of how high prices are. Know how much that is in real life? 180$. Now for the amasing part. For a really really nice piece of gear, such as the most recent tablet, enyahs7's ROBLOX Tablet, it cost a million robux. This will shock you. Want to know how much that cost IRL? Rounded, 13,000 DOLLARS! I would never buy that if i won the lottery! And someone got it! Know how much there selling it for? 7,777B R$ or 7777 billion. Which is 7 trillion 777 billion. If you want to remain loyal to roblox, leave this fourm. This almost brought me to tears that roblox is doing this. So il skip a few lines
103,693,333,333$ of real life money. And it would take 288,037,037 years. with 288,037 long lifetimes.
IT was orrigonaly a million, with OBC and the stipened bonus. (What i would get if the stipened bonus was still here)I would make 130 robux a day. it would take me 21 years. for a million robux. And i would make places! I would make shirts and games! And all kinds of thisgs! I would be on roblox all the time! If you got 1 robux per place visit, and i got a million visits, ( i was going to add the shirt sales, but thats enough for it) There you go! If it got 500,000 visits, and my shirts were 100$ each, (People can afford it with the stipened bonus) and 500 sold, thats enough! If i got 250,000 visits, it would take me 5 years. Or i could get alot of other stuff. The genral point is robux cost TONS of real money, and you get very little. Bring back stipened. If i get banned for complaining like this to roblox, so be it. I would lose all my money. So be it. I would never see some of my friends again, for roblox is the only way i can talk to them. So be it. We need a change. We need change. Help me convince roblox. Ill put everything on the line. For it must be done. |

For the cost of a one month BC membership you can also buy a footlong from subway
That one footlong for that price doesn't sound ridiculous, does it?
For that price you get a whole month of fun and features.
BC players get benefits because they pay. Mobile is currently in beta IIRC so it will probably be open to NBC soon enough too.
If not then whatever. $6 is nothing for what you get if you enjoy Roblox. |

Seriously? You are willing to buy something from Apple for a couple hundred, but not willing to buy a membership for 5. |

Actually, you could earn the money much faster if you were good to the community. |

But to save up for something nice, it could cost hundreds of thousands. And it cost months. |

People who have all of those expensive items don't buy Robux. They get Robux from their memberships and invest it in limited items. |

By the way, they do not want you to buy their IPADS! If you are willing to pay for a 7 trillion dollar ipad, be my guest. It all rounds out to a 500 dollar one just the same.
Money is the only currency with the ability to buy Robux, Robux cannot be traded in for money. So that money that you earn, is considered priceless. |

And i had TBC, it expired and i did not have enough for it again. Thats another example. Money is tight, people dont have a ton of extra money to spend on this? |
|

Without all of the taxes that roblox offers, Roblox would be forced to close, now do you want that to happen? Or are you willing to give up your dream of buying an Ipad from Roblox? |

Too bad.
Why don't you go to bestbuy and try to get a $1,500 laptop for $200?
I mean, money is tight and people don't have a ton of extra money to spend on them. |

There is no demand for you to purchase pixels, but if you are willing to find a way through this game that doesn't mean money, you have found the correct path. |

Thats another thing, if you make a decent profit on limited sale, roblox takes 30% that could be almost the whole profit. And also, to get something good it takes more than 6$, you have to wait a long time and save up. |
|

I can see where will is going. Money can be spent alot on Roblox, now roblox is just asking for money nowadays, It's barely free anymore. BC only games, BC Mobile, BC trading system, BC Limited investing, BC only items, it's pretty pathetic. |

IRL if you have a good job and make $200k a year you have to pay roughly 21.89% in taxes.
Roblox is teaching you valuable life lessons kid. Instead of complaining about how the real world works why don't you learn from it? |

Roblox is still a free game and offers many things for free users that many sites wouldn't.
Roblox needs money to stay open. They're a business. |
|
|
ROBLOX IS NOT ALL ABOUT MONEY! IT IS ABOUT THE TIMES YOU CAN HAVE WITH YOUR FRIENDS, THAT COUNTS!
If you are just going to complain that you cannot purchase a million dollar Ipad, like most users can't. Please get out of Roblox. |

With the 200k a year thing, in roblox you buy a limited for 1000, sell it for 1500, (average) you get 500 becouse it costed 1000 for the hat. Then roblox takes 30% which rounds (1500) to 500. That is everything. You dont buy a job, sell it for more, and make a profit. With the tax you still get a positive 156,220$ a year |

Just as the economy on roblox is being messed up with the way Money works, the real world is facing the same crisis (100,000,000,000 times bigger) because some people has made mistakes and increased taxes. Such as the reason the cost of living is increasing.
This is a key factor on why I get school off on Tuesday! Because the Unions and governments cannot agree. |

NO NO NO NO. Wait let me think about it no..
Roblox is not really about the money.. Well sort of but still! |
|

Yes roblox is still a free game, but gives all the good stuff to the BC. I remember when there was a protest to make the trading system for NBC too. But nope, It's BC only. Also, I understand that they need the money to stay open, but really raise prices for everything so that they make you spend more and more money? It was fine back then, but they raised prices for just about everything. For example, the 30% market fee? Takes away your total profit and forces you to sell more items or buy more robux. Roblox is just going for money now, and all these updates are just making it worse. |

I dont want an ipad, I mean, i do but i cant get one. But people think they can get cheaper stuff. But IRL it cost alot. Adn the cost of living is rising. People want more for there money on roblox becouse they dont have alot of extra. And, roblox does need to stay in buesness. It could still do well if they lower the cost of BC or what you get from BC. And, if they do that, they may still make as much as they do now! Becouse more people could afford it. Sales go up |
