As stated by many other developers and members of the community. These adjustments will only bring negative impact to ROBLOX as a development platform. I understand the need to enhance security and to prevent fraudulent transactions, but when ROBLOX already delays our funds by 3 days and takes 30% of our revenue (Which is quite high compared to Unity or Epic Games) - You begin to see the negatives.
This doesn’t help developers when it comes to payouts or hiring other developers, and it discourages any type of temporary collaboration, which harshly affects those who do commissions for developers or content creators. The developer exchange already takes a long time to be approved or to be processed until developers receive the funds, and a delay that could last an extra 4 days could make or break certain things for smaller developers.
Please delay this change and take the time to re-evaluate the implementation of this adjustment.
I think this can be useful in some ways, but I feel like a system needs to be implemented to make trusted developers spend less time. If a developer has a good history with moderation, their group is not shady at all, their games have unique scripts, builds, or they sell unique clothing, then please do consider allowing these people to have a shorter waiting period.
As a small clothing designer, I don’t get many sales. This will effect all developers/designers. It slows down my funds.
At least allow us to add Group Funds directly from our personal balances without tax then, people don’t want a week delay to pay commissions, and we have no way to directly deposit Group Funds…
Are there some reasons for this change? It seems pretty pointless. If things are slow then you need to improve yourself on this other than making community wait more.
I am not sure if this was addressed in previous replies, but will this extended waiting period apply to Premium Payouts too? There is currently a 3 day waiting period for them.
In addition, for the sake of transparency, can we get a specific explanation for what is deemed “suspicious” in this sense and if there will be a particular formula used to calculate the waiting period for selling items? (for example, when you have to wait 4 days for one thing but 7 days for another thing - what is the standard/criteria?)
I’m confused about why Roblox keeps making things longer instead of fixing them.
For example the captcha, they just made it longer? They didn’t fix it.
I think they should focus more on speeding up the report game feature. The resources are needed more there. And this Update doesn’t fix anything really, it just makes it a bit harder for the scammers to get away with it.
I understand fraud and safety concerns, but this is a real blow to smaller Groups.
When we do ads, we rely on the profits and funds to return so we can re-do ads again.
3 days is long as it is, at the current state we can only do ads every 3 days, so now are only able to do ads every 7 days? How do you expect your platform to grow when you limit success?
Well, there goes our slow going success rate, I guess we can expect it to go twice as slow now.
Actually, this method of payment is due to, but I think that the reservation period to be tedious for some services If it is not that for all Take into account that Roblox claims 30% of the profits, so I do not agree.
I’m a bit worried how commissions will work with this change but hopefully this will make a positive change in the commission world.
Just an idea but maybe allowing players to opt in or out of the more secure 3-7 day transfer if both parties of the transaction opt out then it’ll still be transferred with the normal time however the users agree to the risks associated with opting out.
I have read a few comments and it seems like people are panicking. Firstly, Roblox rarely changes their mind and reverts updates so complaining is worthless. Secondly, its only UP TO 7 days. 7 days isn’t that long. It also seems like the 7 day wait period will only be given when risk of abuse is high.
I don’t think you understand. Seven days can be devastating when it comes to being paid on time when working for Robux. On top of Roblox already taking a 30% tax, developers may have to wait up to a week to even get paid for their hard work.
This must have been a hard decision by ROBLOX, I must say. Making the waiting period over a week, I love the way that ROBLOX is going with security! But I must chime in my personal opinion, it sounds illogical to have to wait 3 days just for getting Robux .This shows that ROBLOX needs a better system towards Security and User Friendly decisions. Having to “wait” for Robux is illogical! ROBLOX already takes 30% of revenue and for NBC people its a whopping 90% TAX and wait for 3 days for robux? 3 days was already long enough for getting the robux, but now its a UP TO 7 DAYS!!! This is horrendous this will be devastating for users who DevEx. What do I know about DevEX, I actually don’t know anything about DevEx XD never did it. But I assure you that 7 DAYS WAIT IS VERY LONG!!!
I am the moderator of a group called Eyyteam, Eyyteam sells unique clothing, it does not copy paste clothing. Eyytrix (the owner) pays all designers and moderators every week. One day they removed Eyyteam for the following reason: swapping robux and illegally buying robux. Eyytrix bought over 50,000 robux for all of this and roblox removes his group for something completely stupid.
I would like them to improve moderation so they don’t delete groups out of the blue.
What about trusted game developers / big game studios with over 10 million views and verified by Roblox have this limit completely disabled? If they are verified, extremely big developer studio, and making alot of Robux from games, then disabling the limit for them would be a good idea because they wouldn’t be doing any fraud. (atleast I hope so)
Now, putting this already-absurd 7 day limit on EVERY single game, not just big games, will stagger their development because they have to wait inorder to pay this developers / designers. Perhaps the more views a game developer studio has, the less the waiting time is. This is un-needed, and is going to hurt many games more than help them.
I disagree with this update. I do not really think any of us here have the patience to wait a week for robux, but there could be some people who rely on DevEx and that stuff.
Does Roblox even take into account devs reactions on the forums? Do they take feedback at all? Why even bother telling us this stuff and have it open for discussion if you’re going to completely ignore the feedback you’re getting!?
They say this update is to help with security but it feels like they’re punishing everyone because of the behavior of exploiters and scammers. It’s honestly ridiculous.
