Why, waiting 3 days has ALREADY been a pain. You don’t even have to make this worse by EXTENDING IT!? Your hurting your own developers by doing this, not only do you take a 30% cut, developers who depend on DevEx have to wait up to WEEKS! This update needs to be reconsidered…

I wonder what’s the thing that caused this update to happen, what does people do to achieve risk of fraud or abuse. I wonder what are they doing I need answers. Cuz they are going to continue doing it, time doesn’t solve anything. In my opinion.

Honestly if you guys really cared about protecting us from having our stuff stolen, you’d pin lock trades. Limited stealing is honestly a much bigger problem than robux being stolen. 7 days will without a doubt kill smaller groups and developers.

So now I have to wait 7 days to transfer robux to my group??

We do not know, depends on their thought.
Even worse, I’m one of those small devs. I barely make Robux off of my games and I don’t bother buying Robux due to how I want to keep that money for more important things in life. tl:dr - if your a small dev then this update is bad.

I understand the whole point of being safe but from 3 days to a whole week? People had been already complaining about the 3 day waiting time and now we’ll have to wait a whole week for revenue and stuff. This update is just gonna make the whole paying people and getting revenue harsher.

It already totally was more than 3 days.
I feel like this update was out for quite a while, since last winter even, but no one really noticed until this announcement was made.
At least it took me around 5-6 days for any group fund transaction to occur.
It’s horrible and I hate it, but you can’t negate the fact that mostly no one talked about it taking more than 3 days that much until this post was made.
Maybe this is like the ‘reviewing code’ thing.

so now we’re literally having to waste 3 - 7 DAYS just for a paid currency. and we already lost some of our funds because of “taxes.” like, cmon ROBLOX.
do you seriously think that someone getting paid 1 ROBUX is going to sit and wait for the maximum of a week?

Please reconsider this change, developers have been asking for the waiting period to be shortened for years. It’s makes paying people so much more difficult, and is super inconvenient already. This change is not helping this.

Please, please don’t do this. It’s long enough as is.

Why can’t Roblox make their site more secure instead of making bad updates that inconvenience developers?

You have to wait a week to get funds in? So let us say I commission a user for said 500 robux, I have to wait a week to be able to pay them? And I cannot even use the assets until then because the user will not give the assets until the payment is given. I don’t understand this update? This is the opposite of what Roblox developers wanted (in the majority).

As a small developer myself that is working on a game, and anyone out there. We know that the 3 days was long enough and it was harder to do since for larger devs they expect to be paid by the person(wether thats the group owner or game owner or whoever receives the robux). For the longest time most developers have wanted it down to maybe like 2 or so days, but 3-7 days will be chaotic. I do understand saftey and trying to prevent fraud but I think there can be other ways to do this such as(If you have 2FA enabled) have you need to put a 6 digit code if your buying certain items such as expensive gamepasses, developer products, ugc iterms, limiteds, etc… Thats My Opinion, anyone agree?

A week of waiting is a bit too long. Keep it at three days, and pay attention to suspicious business instead of punishing everyone.

Not a great idea.
I understand the security reasons, but SEVEN days? A WEEK?
People have to pay developers/artists for their work on games with robux, and if it’s gonna take seven days to receive their robux, I don’t think they are gonna get paid at all.
Please stick with the three days period.

This is completely unrelated… Please don’t bring other things into this, as stated, Roblox DOES have the final say, but it is influenced from the community. And a meme is wayyyyyy different then affecting developers sales and actual things that mean something
I agree as another small dev. If I tried to make games with purchasable products with the new changes, it would be way harder to put robux back into the game when it can take a full week to receive it.

This kind of adjustment ideally may help for easier tracking the people scamming in game passes, shirt, and many more. However, this would lead developer payout for the builder/scripter/modeler to be take even longer time. Not to mention this kind of changes would affect those developer who use Dev ex.
Seriously why is this added, sure there’s the .01 of Roblox players who abuse the fund system to sell ROBUX for Real Currency, but that can be stopped in other ways. 7 days is WAY to much, for smaller developers trying to grow a group, constantly running ads will now be 3x harder making growing a player base harder, Thanks roblox.
