User blog:StarBase10/And so the Community Gets Angry

After Roblox had set up a minimum limit for shirts and pants at a whopping 25 Robux and/or 300 Tickets and t-shirts for 10 Robux, many users, especially Non-Builders-Club users and even the clothing designers in Roblox, had cried foul on the Roblox staff, given how they had changed the pricing for clothing such that it is difficult for NBC users to buy even a single t-shirt until at least 10 days or a t-shirt/pair of pants for at least 25 days.

As taken from the blog post for the update, Roblox intended to add the price floor to:

The three reasons are very weak once you read and understand from it with the situation with the community's reaction, but the third is the stupidest one of all three reasons, as it would make users think that the game is much less free for all users just because the prices are raised in order to promote the purchase of Builder's Club. In comparison to Roblox's membership benefits, in an MMORPG named RuneScape, it provides a more flexible membership choice, all while providing far better benefits to the player (i.e. the choice of only regular membership for a cheaper price or a more expensive but rewarding premium membership that gives exclusive items such as cosmetic clothing and extra in-game currency). However, Roblox is notorious for adding changes to the game that are highly questionable, which is usually done in order to make the Builders Club membership look more required to play the game normally.
 * 1) Raise the quality of items in the catalog.
 * 2) Reward makers and sellers of clothing.
 * 3) To incentivize non-paying users to buy ROBUX.

This forum thread is among one of the many messages that demonstrates hate responses to the price floor change. As Roblox has yet to remove the price floor, many users will continue to complain about this change until the problem settles, either by a removal of the price floor or until the community adjusts to it.

EDIT: ...and so the Roblox Community had finally rejoiced as the price floor is finally lowered to 10 Robux/100 Tickets for T-shirts and pants and 2 Robux/20 Tickets for a t-shirt in October 3, 2013, despite the price floor being retained and some users asking for an even lower price floor.
