As you may know, tickets were removed on April 14th, 2016. This was a BIG mistake by roblox, and it lost 49% of it's players.



The Real Reason Why Tix Was Removed
So, let me tell you the real reason WHY Tickets were removed.

It was because, when roblox needed to make more money to make new items on the catalog, the roblox team decided that if they removed tix, more players would by BC and ROBUX.

Well, that backfired when 49% of the roblox community left.

RoblEX (Trade Currency)
RoblEX, commonly known as the Currency Exchange, was a feature which allowed users to trade in their Tickets for ROBUX and vice versa. This in turn created the ROBLOX economy as the price of Tickets and ROBUX changed through supply and demand. Users could earn a substantial amount of profit by buying a large amount of ROBUX for a lower price, then exchanging them later for a larger sum of Tickets.

Along with Tickets, RoblEX was removed on April 14, 2016.

Tixapalooza
Tixapalooza was a major sale that involved countless ticket-based items being on sale daily. From March 15, 2016 to April 13, 2016, one ticket-based item would be released per day. The order that the ticket-based items were released was from most expensive to least.

Post Tix Removal (April 15th, 2016 - present)

 * The tickets were not automatically converted to ROBUX, if they were not spent before April 14, 2016. This meant that if an inactive player did not convert all his tickets to ROBUX, everything was lost.


 * Ever since the Tix removal, scams have actually increased, possibly because ROBUX can now only be obtained through purchase, clothing, trading, group funds and a few other ways.


 * While Tickets are now gone, they were not actually removed from the website entirely. They were just hidden and can't be used in any way, as seen here. The same goes for transaction history; those who have purchased or sold using Tickets can still see them in their transaction history.

End to Discussion
Finally, to come to an end to this Discussion, what do you think about tix, do you want it to be re-added or did you quit roblox because of tix getting removed?

Thanks.
