i agree with the cooldown being way too short, it should be closer to a week, or even a month

This final point has been happening for the past year and any time I try to inform Roblox of the offending item, they simply inform me that Roblox will not take action unless I was the copyright owner, how can I possibly trust that Roblox will defend it’s own former limiteds / expensive / offsale items if they have in the past quite literally told me that they would not do that- it is deeply concerning from my point of view.

You’re scamming your users. Because you were negligent to the logistics or game theory or surveying you’ve released this with the erroneous set up it has, and people are going to buy these items simply because they expect a return, and even when they do they’re gonna find it’s not realistically possible for anyone buying the items because they’d have to make over two fold just to get anything back. Priorities were set far too high on the UGC developers (and yourselves, adamantly taking 30% tax on these sales is extremely pathetic) and it will simply create a system where people pump and dump these items, which are essentially grifts because they can barely provide any future value for anyone who owns them.
Not even done there, you also mislead the users by using the same language description as Roblox Limiteds, but if they buy them they’ll find they can’t trade the item at all, and that they can’t even sell it for a huge waiting period. Do you have any respect for the people that use the site?

Can’t wait for when they release for trades and ruin the classic limiteds market…

According to this, resellers only get 50% of an items resell cost, this is exactly how you introduce massive hyper-inflation into your economy, in order to break-even on my item I have to sell for double the price that’s a 100% inflation rate per-sale as long as everyone doesn’t care about profit and just wishes to break-even. Roblox will have to take less of a cut to decrease this massive inflation rate. Roblox LimitedU accessories while looking almost the exact same as a UGC limited, only have a 30% and much more reasonable inflation-rate. Roblox, this is an economy you have to follow the principles of an economy too!

Harsh but the truth 
this was not thought out, but it could have been if the content of the focus groups were not largely ignored

I’m fine with this existing, considering these and tradeable limiteds don’t intertwine at all. They are separate markets and won’t affect each other, and that’s the silver lining in this as someone who was dreading what UGC Limiteds may imply for the current Limited market.
That being said, one of my only issues is the fact that these UGC Limiteds are very hard to discern from tradeable limiteds. Sure, there is a text above the description that says “Tradeable: No”, but even I wasn’t able to notice that until someone pointed it out to me. It is common sense in the ROBLOX community that “Limiteds” are tradeable and sellable items. It has been that way forever, and there was never a need to question whether that was the case.
There is also the fact that, outside of this DevForum post, nothing implicates that selling one of these Limiteds will only give you 50% of the sale. This fee doesn’t apply to ANY other type of items as far as I’m aware, and there is genuinely nothing that would make you think that was the case.
The problem that arises is that ROBLOX is filled with children, and although it may click in my brain that these UGC Limiteds are not tradeable, and selling them will make you lose 50% of the sale - this is going to fool a lot of young kids into buying items with the intent of trading them. People who don’t have a DevForum account, or didn’t read this post talking about the differences these have. If I wasn’t able to notice - a trader and player who has been on the platform for over 15 years, - then how can you expect a child to notice who just wants to get a Limited for trading?
To put this in perspective, I have taken a screenshot of the catalog - this is basically ‘Where’s Waldo’ of finding out which Limited is UGC. -
29 of these are tradeable, and have a 30% fee for reselling the item. 1 of them is not tradeable, and has a 50% for reselling the item. Sure, if you know what you’re looking for - it’s somewhat easy to figure it out, but imagine if you are a kid who doesn’t know what you’re doing, you haven’t seen this DevForum thread, and all you know is that limiteds are usually tradeable. 9 times out of ten, they would have no idea.
My proposal is to separate UGC Limiteds and normal Limiteds by putting them into their own Category on the Catalog, and giving them a new tag that isn’t “Limited” or “LimitedU”. That way, if people aren’t aware of this new feature - and stumble on say a purple “UGC Limited” tag on the bottom corner - then they are able to discern them from normal limiteds and are aware enough to think “I haven’t seen this tag before, maybe I should look into it.”
I have some other problems with this new feature, but they almost all tie back to the one problem that these are drastically different from normal limiteds, yet are identical to the blind eye. If you separate these two categories, then at the very least they can both behave on their own, and if one fails, then it doesn’t ruin the other category’s reputation. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

Totally agree with this, and we did make this clear to roblox originally that the tag should be different. Here’s to hoping it gets changed to something unique to further separate UGC and roblox
Limiteds.
Also agree the selling fee difference should be better highlighted

Roblox Audience History:
- Released VC to appeal to 13+ audiences
- Released an OAuth system to upgrade reputation to “professional” and not just “that one kids game”
- Added Discord links to group/game pages (Appeals to 13+ audiences)
- Adding a dedicated anti-cheat that is similar to other 13+ targeted games
’
- Now you’ve released a cash grabby scam that takes advantage of mainly children.
Are we moving forward or backward?
Pretty sure this also introduces new methods to distribute robux fraudulently

Quick question, what is stopping a ugc creator from releasing an extremely rare item for cheap and then buying it themselves on alt accounts for instance to then asking ludicrous prices after the fact due to them having a hoard of it? They get an advantage in terms of being able to get to the item quicker than anyone else, and get a bunch of the item for cheap. Maybe this wouldn’t be an issue or I’m missing something which would make it redundant to do but this just came to mind.

Also as many people have said, please for the love of god just rename these from limiteds. Even if just so that the word limited isnt one that includes stuff like this

I think this is pretty disgusting and as it is being rolled out it’s clear what this kind of incentive does to UGC creators. While I understand there being a cut of the resell value, I think that the reseller only getting less than half is not great. If the 30-day holding period doesn’t discourage users from selling their limiteds then the amount of robux they get from selling them compared to how much they brought them for will probably put them off.
I think it should be much lower, how much lower? I don’t know. But this kind of incentive creates a need for UGC creators to constantly be pumping out low-grade limiteds (as we are seeing right now) because if their items are resold then they pretty much get the price of the limited back almost immediately or within a few resales. It’s a theoretically infinite money generator, albeit a rather slow one, but to the UGC creators it is.
I think this is a good addition, but the cut that the platform and creators gets from a resold limited is absurdly high. Resellers should not get less than half of what they are selling an item for.

I second this, the high fees will lead to either of 2 things. 1. People having no interest in these new limiteds due to high fees and lack of ability to trade them. 2. Stupid amounts of inflation from people needing to sell for over double what they bought an item for to even return a margainal profit.

I think you misunderstood the entire statement, 30% is going to the UGC creator on the original-sale of the item, 50% is going to resellers on resale, not less than 50%. 10% goes to the UGC creator on re-sale

50% to resellers on resale gives little incentive to actually buy these items though, you may aswell go buy actual roblox released limiteds which have both a better tax percentage and the bonuses of being able to trade them and not having a holding escrow period.
