I this funny, how they can change the price for other regions. But, also its funny that they’ll drop the price so dirt cheap, that we who spent 50k on violet valk or 17k on korblox is a bit silly if they’ll only do it for every other place expect us.
I think you should know what I meant
wait a minute why is this a bug report
I believe this is an update that comes with a few problems/bugs that should be addressed as we haven’t received much info and I don’t believe this update was seen with much oversight from staff. The discounted sale exploit that I mentioned is something that can easily be abused (Sale items have an initial price, discounting this would affect resale)
Not to mention the fact you can easily change your location via support
problem ~= bug
this is most definitely a feature request
you can say this about almost every update, you’ll always get the same response of “this was discussed internally!!!”
aren’t limited items resale based? I don’t see what reason there is to discount items sold by players for a set price, if they are, that’s a bug.
once per account
good luck actually playing games in the wrong region
Why does this picture show my reply as the solution lol
dunno, i saw that on my screen for a split second so i screenshotted it
You’re free to mark my thread as offtopic
If you have qualms about the feature, you’ll have more luck waiting for an official announcement post on either the Developer Forum or Twitter and voicing your concerns there (where the relevant team will be reading). Alternatively, you could make this a feature request.
I personally don’t think there should be regional pricing on marketplace accessories. I’ll just put it this way, a developer from a country with a discount making the same, if not more Robux than a developer from the US for example is clearly benefiting the most from a change like this, leaving players who purchased these items originally feeling like they’ve been scammed. The marketplace prices for accessories should all be the same globally.
Regional pricing should only be in parts of the site like the buy Robux page, game subscriptions and plugins. NOT on the accessory marketplace with an established economy. As OP stated, the original owners of these discounted items should be compensated in some way or another as this is quite literally unfair since all developers around the world have an equal opportunity to make Robux on the platform, yet now only some users from certain places of the world get discounts on these big ticket accessories while the rest of us have to pay more.
honestly, even better, just discount everyone and refund the difference
the marketplace pricing is abysmal
While this makes sense as a feature, as others have mentioned, it should have been implemented into the Robux purchasing flow (if not already) rather than onto catalog items. Currently, if two developers both sell 1000 Robux worth of gamepasses, the one who lives in a region with a discount has a higher purchasing power in terms of avatars, even if they are both selling the exact same product. It seems quite odd to implement it this way rather than during the Robux purchase flow (where the currency is actually involved and presumably impacting the purchase power)?
if regional pricing becomes a feature usable on game passes its going to absolutely ruin donation games (which will be really funny) so shifting the regional pricing into the prices of ROBUX and premium directly would be a much better idea
bro made a bug report
i would like explanation so far because i cant find evidence of it even happening yet we got to slow down.
Regional discounts should be made for robux & premium, not catalog items & products linked to games.
It would be unfair for developers to earn less money because someone plays in a different region. What stops somebody from using VPNs & changing their account’s location just to get everything cheaper.
I wouldn’t care much about getting my difference back on items such as violet valk or korblox, even though that robux would be welcome. I think this approach to regional discounts is very poorly executed & should be changed to purchasing robux & premium
This feature has since been removed either due to this post or due to confusion that has raised
second something gets brought up in this way its obvious it wont last 12 hours, surprise !
Don’t know, I wish we got a reply, I’m wondering what the thought process is for this feature
How do we know if this is a feature? It could’ve been unintentional maybe it was a test that was accidentally made public
That’s what I was questioning too, there’s alot of unanswered questions atm
