Roblox Group Additions

Hi there, so I was browsing the Clans & Guilds forum on the main ROBLOX site, and I came across a very interesting thread stating some very good points(in my opinion!), so I’ve posted exactly what the thread stated, mainly because I believe these should really be added in because it really could help out the clan world A LOT. A link below the post to the actual thread has been added below.

"Hello C&G and Moderators,

This petition has taken place due to the little care you give for groups, mainly clans on ROBLOX. I would explain to you how much clans on ROBLOX benefit the game, however this benefit we are giving to you is slowing dying out.

Major clans such as FEAR, RAT, VS, RSF, JC, WIJ, FC, TRA, EL, UAF and much more are suffering from limits you have set for the clan world, you are not bringing any new features to the groups, hence why the clan world is slowing dying out because we have reached those limits you have set.

Quoted by SilentSwords: “we’re pretty much suffering under the same faith that every other clan has; there’s no more innovation possible, we’ve pretty much reached everything we can have and there’s no more possibility of going beyond this without a group-update coming from the Roblox developers. Sure we can release a new fort but that only helps so much.”

We, as clan members ask you to have more care for the clan world and add more features, more things to do, a whole new level to groups!

Yes, this is a friendly petition and has no ‘do this or we will…’, it’s simply asking for the moderators to care a bit more about what we think as we are the ones in clans, I don’t even know of any of the mods are in a clan or not so they wouldn’t understand such feeling.

I would just like to let you know, without the players on this game, ROBLOX would be nothing, so please take into consideration our ideas, here are some I would like to see:

  1. Price Floor exceptions for group items

Price Floors are one of main reason why the clan world is slowly dying out, uniforms are one of the main aspects of a clan, wearing uniform shows what clan you are and shows your pride for it. You do not feel like you are part of that clan if you can not identify yourself as it.

  1. Merely’s Group Extention implemented onto ROBLOX

Merely’s Group Extention is great for those who are into clans, not wanting to miss any events they’ll be able to see the shout as soon as it is posted which enables the chance for people to attend the event and not missing due to not seeing it or it coming on the news feed 10-15 minutes after it is posted, viewing your teammates ranks by easily looking under their profile on the wall or by going on their profile and show hovering your mouse over the clan you wish to view their rank at. It’s a really good extention which should be added to ROBLOX.

  1. Rank Message

This message would be sent to a person that has been promoted/demoted showing when it happened and who it was by, this would be very handy as it doesn’t require you to constantly refresh the group page waiting for your promotion to occur.

  1. Automatic Promotion/Entrance badge

As many clans on ROBLOX use an entry course which promotes a member to the next rank or gives them access to the group, this would be very good. High Ranks in a clan do not need to constantly promote/accept members in their clan that have completed the course, them simply gaining that badge would automatically promote/give them entrance to the clan.

  1. Group Funds Trade Currency

Many groups on ROBLOX use the group store feature to sell their products as they work as a team; however people have wanted to trade that currency into tickets/robux to run ads and use it for other things.

  1. More uses of group funds [ ALREADY BEING DONE ]

Group Funds are currently practically useless as they can only be used for ads, there should be some purchasable features which can affect their group greatly.

  1. Division Tab

Divisions, mainly in clans are used a lot - although having them easily shown without having to spend some cash on it, a such as the current allies tab would be awesome!

I am sure more clan members would like to see the same maybe different, which I hope they’d post on this thread aswell as supporting it.

Thanks,

I agree that this is a problem, but this would allow groups to circumvent the whole purpose of the price floors, so I don’t think this one is happening ever.

Pls no or make it an option, I don’t want people to know exactly when/who demoted them sometimes.

On RDC Europe we asked about this and I think this will most likely be a thing somewhere in the future.

One of the group people can just cash out, convert it into the desired currency, and then spend it on group items again?

These don’t fix anything, they’re just little tweaks/ additions that make it slightly easier to use for current users.

I made a thread talking about the bigger picture and what needs to be done in here:

It’s more of a focus on awareness and roleplay.

It doesn’t ACTUALLY matter which clan “gets the most points” or has the best tech ever. It’s a matter of having a name people recognize, actually engaging with as many other clans as you can. There’s a huge empty gap where mechanics could be, but we fill it up with creativity, imagination, and roleplay.

The only “mechanics” clans need are ways of communicating across the website, indirectly to all other clans out there. This creates a “Scene” setting, where there’s a place things happen, a place to get involved in. The forums for a long time were the way to do this, but they are complete shit now. It’s 4chan for kidz.
