You can't transfer currency from one account to another anyway, unless it's through selling/buying user-made clothing, and in that case, they deserve the money they're getting. Can someone PLEASE explain how removing tickets/daily currency helps against bots and alts in any way? To me, it seems like an excuse that doesn't make sense.

Alt and bolts isnt the reason for it. It partly was. Other reasons were 'helping developers' (AKA, getting nearly all the developers but the main ones to give up) and to make more money, as believe it or not, Roblox are losing money. Since the implementation of the DevEx system, front pagers have begun cashing out, and that has increased when they increased what you could get from DevEx a while ago.

In an attempt to regain lost money, they have done the following:

- Cancelled all Lifetime BC/TBC/OBC suscriptiolns

- Made Lifetime BC/TBC/OBC subscriptions unable to be purchased

- Made increased amount of Builders Club features in an attempt to make you purchase it

- Made expensive 'good looking' hats to make you purchase Builders Club

- Removing Tickets to make you buy Builders Club or Robux

Of course, these methods have stirred up some controversy. I believe that DevEx should only be temporary, and I think it is time for it to be removed. Not only is it causing Roblox to lose money faster than ever, it is also making people expect money for making a game. As someone states earlier, Roblox is about Playing and Building. One they forgot though was Learning to Script (Well, atleast in RBX.Lua). People should build fabulous games without expecting £20,000 every month. They should make games because they feel inspired. All Roblox is causing now is a monopoly, which, if applied in the real world, would be illegal, and would possibly send a incorrect message to growing children. I think its purpose was to make the front page have better quality to attract more people (Trust me, 2012's front page was full of free modeled rubbish), and its purpose has been served, and should be considered obsolete.

If you dont think this text wall is enough, dont worry, heres another Tix Rant from earlier (by me):

"Wheres the Proof?

That wouldnt work anyway, because the Tickets Alts get cannot be transferred to another, unless that user was selling a shirt, but then they would need BC, causing this to be cancelled out.

They stated in the blog that it was to encourage new developers and to make the community better. If anything, it is like Roblox giving the finger to its community.

Not only will new devs have no motivation to develop, as they will recieve no currency, it means current dev's will have a monopoly, as there is no others to take the front page spots.

What happens devs have no motivaton? Thats right! Free Models. Once people are bored of the Dev Monopolys, the front page will look like 2012's again." 2012's isnt a good page, maybe it would look like 2011. It isn't a good page, that's the point.

Roblox is simply pushing only the top 0.1% of itself while leaving the other 99.9% (like me) to get [ redacted ] up. The 1 ticket per visit might be botted, but most small game developers are pulling their income from visits and NOT from game passes and developer products. Robloxians need Tickets for a larger, varied community with many games and not just a few. So, Roblox, good luck to you, sure you will get bankrupt in a year or two.

Seriously, some humans are stupid...
