What are you on about? The golden age was 2008!? The features we have now make games like Phantom Forces so good. In 2008, I think High Speed Dog Fights was the best game, and it was pretty bad. You're suffering from nostalgia. When you were younger, everything seemed better, the community was smarter, better builders, more thoughtful, but in reality you were just stupider, a worse builder, and less thoughtful than you are now, so proportionally everyone is worse.

So, the Devents are a small aspect of roblox and don't really affect it's 'golden' age.

R15 is in early beta, and completely optional.

The removal of tickets may have upset some people, but you can see how it was the best option. Assuming you just joined the site, it makes an awful lot of sense to just have 1 currency, rather than two which are interlinked somehow, and values change. To newer players, doesn't make sense. However, if that player needs more tixs and purchases BC, he can make more money by alt farming. Not fair. So the benifits are huge, but they are, in the long term better than the negatives.

I was actually disappointed about how this page didn't at all focus on UGC excluding events. The front page now, is *FAR* better than it use to be.
