The long story short: Hard to fathom currency sinks to get money out of the economy.
The short story made longer:
People complain about economic inflation. So, I propose a solution to the problem in the form of really massive money sinks for both currencies.
There should be a new faction for this line of money sinks, going by the name of "The 2x2 Company", a manifesto of the creator of all of ROBLOX.
It is a feat of strength to own anything from The 2x2 Company, far more than any other "expensive" hat the likes ROBLOX has ever seen. I'm talking millions, maybe even billions or more, as an example of a hardcore money sink.
"In the beginning there was an empty darkness.. The only thing in this void was a black brick, Two-By-Two. Two-By-Two was the Alpha Brick, the First. Copied, pasted, and recolored a million times, Robloxia was built out of nothing from the images of Two-By-Two. These were the early days…"-The ROBLOXian log of the creation of the Universe, as stated by The Chronicles of Roblox, VI.203 (http://blog.roblox.com/2006/12/4/)
They should sell one of each known ROBLOX-made item type for all three available currency types, R$ only, Tickets only, and Hybrid.
Examples:
Hat:
"2x2 Holy Guardian Warhelm Crown": Either 999m/9.9b/99b/999b/9.9t/99t/999t R$, 999e (E means quintillion, or a billion of trillion) Tickets, or both.
Description: "The light essence of this hat remind you of the same warmth that forged 2x2, the creator of the known universe."
Imagine a lot of ROBLOX's awesome hats merged into one, with a good coloring scheme to boot.
Gear:
"2x2 Hacker Slayer": Since it's a gear, multiply the values of the Holy Guardian Warhelm Crown pricing by at least 2.
Description: "From the darkest depths of ROBLOXia, 1x1x1x1, the very first of the hackers, rose to cause havoc toward ROBLOX. With this sword, you hold a sworn duty to slay all who open Cheat Engine or similar hacking programs with an unfathomable might bestowed upon you by 2x2 himself."
If you have this sword and you are holding it, those trying to exploit will cower in fear and lose control of their character. Those in that state of fear die in one hit, regardless of status effects. If there are no hackers, or this can't be accomplished, it has a wide array of magic spells in its arsenal and a tutorial on how to use them for normal users, to compensate for the price.
Package:
"Embodiment of 2x2": Sold for roughly the same price as the gear, maybe slightly more expensive. Comes complete with a new Head and Face,, as well as a new Hat.
Description: "To wear this body is to wear the outfit of the creator, 2x2."
The package comes complete with all of the following: A Body, a Hat, a Face, and a Head, like newer packages. In order: 2x2 Heaven-guard Armor/Plating, 2x2 Protectorate Crown, "Hey, I got blessed by 2x2!", and 2x2' Head.
Those are examples of what the new faction may give to ROBLOX for selling.

A quintillion is a billion billions.
A billion trillions is actually a hextillion. |

In Tickets. In ROBUX it would be in either the millions, the billions or the trillions. |

Now to apply the fix.
999e (A quintillion, or a billion billion) |

I'd rather keep the incentive of selling things. |

If its never fixed, the users suffer from less profits.
Explain why ROBLOX implemented the "make the rich richer" 30% tax. |

I recall someone saying that an admin said that there is actually a finite amount of currency in the system, and that they have not increased that amount. Just sayin'.

Deadspin.
When we buy things made by Roblox the money basically leaves the system, Roblox and other admin accounts don't need to buy anything it's all basically free as they make and produce it.
So if items became more expensive it'd reduce the inflation, BUT there are hoarders like myself back in 2011 who would save up 100s of tix to get R$.
I once saved up almost 80 R$.
That is currently 821 tix
At 10 tix a day
that was 82 days
82/7=11.7 (1dp)
So I logged in for 11 and a bit weeks, without spending any money.
The rate of tix to robux went from 10.000 to 10.333.
I caused a shift of .333 in one transaction in the market.
The inflation is caused by people doing that. |

I proposed this as an alternative to the 30% tax. |

@deadspin
I don't mean remove the tax. I mean something just as rediculous as the tax.
@50% of conquerors101 that did not agree.
And why not? |
