This is a good update over all. I like it very much
ExpectâŚ
This is not good, it seems like another place where you are trying to expand ID-Verification, it should NEVER be mandatory, anywhere!
There should be other ways of verifying besides ID-Verification, ID-Verification is not a solution, it can be an option, but not the solution.
Other ways besides ID-Verification to be verified should exists, and none should be recommended more than others.
This is my worst fear, this should NEVER happen, ID-Verification should not become mandatory ever!
We also need other ways of verifying besides giving your real information.
Where as I would throw a counter-argument I sadly have to agree with this, Roblox canât keep pushing ID Verification to users on a platform where the largest game is targeted towards children, I really do think other alternatives should be introduced or a lot of people are gonna be left out from getting somewhere.
Letâs take the regular trust level, for example, we can easily send in bug reports and other people can confirm that but as for feature requests people say that as a member you should send it in through Roblox Support except where I find that to be an issue is Roblox Support is well⌠shit, Half the time itâs just bots who respond and when you send a feature idea in any of the feature channels you have hundreds of other people who can add on to that idea and like the post to give the engineers an actual purpose to work on that feature, Itâs stating itâs going to be used and the arenât gonna use it for one game and thatâs it (video frames lol)
I really do think Roblox should look towards other alternatives though as long-term ID Verification isnât gonna go well. (and yes my account is verified)
I got to say the long waiting update I wanted to see, since I joined Roblox so many infected copy models out there this should teach new players not to click on bad ones.
In the future, I think the sorting options should be re-implemented, or at the very least sorting by Recently Updated. Currently with the Library, it seems to prioritize older items, some that are even a decade old and no longer function properly, to say the least. It makes it harder to find up-to-date and functioning resources.
I really think the script warning is useful for new players.
I donât enjoy the removal of sorting options. One of my commission works relies on searching for assets like shirts / pants / meshes to create character models. I at least hope they are re-worked completely and make it way easier to search for assets than earlier. If not, I will be disappointed with this update. Thankfully, I have prepared assets for next three updates.
This is great! One question though: how does the ID verification work for items owned by groups rather than individuals? Will the same rules apply so long as the groupâs owner is ID verified, or do they just get excluded from the toolbox entirely?
Strongly agreed. Roblox has this growing obsession over verification and itâs really starting to irk me. The original idea of verification was to make sure a user is old enough to access a feature, such as voice chat. Now, Roblox is really starting to force this ID verification thing on everyone despite backlash from the community.
Itâs pretty concerning that theyâre now calling verified developers ârealâ developers. Just because a developer is verified doesnât mean they are trustworthy, and it doesnât say anything about their experience level. There could be many real developers who are overage and are experienced, but they refuse to verify their account because of privacy reasons. Then are they not considered a so-called âreal developerâ.
Iâm not against the idea of age verification, I just donât support the algorithm boosting creations by ID-verified developers.
They removed the filters because they wanted less clutter also a few Roblox players today use the filters so they were just there for discovery purposes similar to the removed experience (game) genres.
Keeping this in mind, ID verification could be the best thing to happen to Roblox, or the worst thing.
Roblox has massive issues revolving around malicious users mqking Roblox extremely unsafe especially for their young audience. Itâs easy to circumvent moderation by making alts. The last thing they need are those users accessing powerful features that are dangerous in the wrong hands. The verification allows users to be accountable by not being able to use them again if they make an alt. But all this comes with an issue: If a legitimate user is wrongfully terminated, which happens all too often if you work with other people, or get your account or assets compromised, or if Roblox wrongfully associates your account with malicious activity, itâs game over. The moment you ID yourself again, youâll be terminated for being an alt.
At least they delegate the data to someone who specializes in securing sensitive data. This ideally makes it harder for it to get leaked if Roblox is compromised, and harder for Roblox to tie account names to someoneâs personal data, since it is managed by a contractor.
