Wouldn’t it be better to just have this apply to new developers? Personally, I think it would make more sense to have DevForum members have a faster pending time depending on their role. I really would doubt someone with a high role on the DevForum would scam people out of their Robux.
Not like seeing “pending robux” for 3 days was annoying enough, 7 days is way too long.
Also gamepass tax should only be 20% then.

After reading the replies to this post, I think the development community would expect and appreciate a reduction in tax. 30% tax is already a massive cut of our pay, and if we have to wait up to 7 days to obtain that, it could be even more frustrating for developers. I think it should be that every day past 3 days the developers have to wait, you give us a compensation of sorts.

While they’re at it, why not raise the tax to 50%!!

Calm down. This change doesn’t take away your money or seriously hinder you as a developer.
Most online marketplaces (including Steam and Amazon) have 28-30 day waiting periods.

I have a feeling that Roblox have made up their mind, and will put this into effect whether the people carrying their platform like it or not.

Hard to ‘deal with it’ when some people rely on Roblox as a source of income to pay rent and buy food. Making this time longer means developers have to wait longer to get their Robux when 3 days + DevEx times are already long enough.
I’m glad I’m not relying on the money I make from Roblox for things like rent or food. This change must be causing a lot of stress for people that are.

I’d also like to see pending robux wait times become variable on a trust system too, but I don’t think we should involve devforum into the mix. Could be something like, the more that you as a user successfully Devex, the less time you have to wait for robux disbursement. Gives incentive to be honest over time too. Of course the robux verification process should not be any less strict (though there’s no transparency on what it is now), and there could be flaws in this idea I thought up of in a minute based off of yours, I do think adding that separate pipeline here for trusted creators would increase satisfaction from said creators.
I sure am happy that I don’t rely on Roblox game dev as my main source of income. This must be a headache for some developers right now, and there doesn’t seem to be much compassion coming from the devforum community leads either.

In all seriousness I really don’t like this update.
It will harm smaller developers and there are other solutions. Like people have said, Roblox should implement a proper 2-step verification thing, like with a mobile app. Or an account pin on buying/selling items.
I wish that Roblox would fix the cause of the problems and not the problems themself.

What will this 3-7 day pending time be determined by? Account age? Verified email or phone number? Or will it be more technical, like monitoring transaction activity?

But the problem is that it’s pointlessly adding more days to wait for pending funds, might as well make it 10 days just to be safe…

seriously lame, 3 days was already long enough. Please reconsider.

It’s not that pointless, it gives players a longer time to get a refund if they are scammed. (mostly children)
- As not everyone is able to use the internet everyday
- As not all children tell their parents immediately, for some it takes a few days
- When Roblox gets emailed for a refund, they need to investigate it. They probably get many false emails what takes time and resources. By the time they come to a legit one they pending days might already be over.
Disclaimer, I assume this is how Roblox works. I have no clue if it’s actually the way they work.

People don’t realize that hackers can just transfer the robux through limiteds… Especially considering that they won’t want to wait up to 7 days to get the robux this will only become a more common method of transferring robux.

I doubt that they’ll listen to this considering they did nothing with all the feedback on the player leaderboard update, but I feel as if this is far too long for pending robux… 3 days was already pretty long, but mostly bareable- This is quite insane. I don’t really think it will change anything for patient scammers since… they’ll eventually get the robux… Right? Correct me if I’m wrong, I get confused easily. Not only that, but it will absolutely destroy commissions; 3 days for a commission payment was already long enough, and now it could be longer? What also qualifies as “risk of fraud or abuse”? I get that this was done with good intentions, but please reconsider the execution of it. 3-7 days is quite a long time. ~ xPuff_le

You stil get Robux everyday if you’re earning from a game. Only not the first week of the release.
Yes, but this doesn’t include the wait to DevEx. So developers have to wait up to a week to even get the days pay, then they have to wait however long it takes to go through the DevEx Process.
Cmon we need our robux we want earned, we don’t want to wait one week for that, I get you are trying to make it so people can’t get it in that period just in case if hacked, but it’s long time.
