As a Roblox UGC Creator since 2021, the way roblox executed the update of public ugc was horrid and there needs to be adjustments.
Limited knock off galore
I’m going to first mention about the limited knock off since a lot of people are forgetting what they promised on a devforum post regarding taking action on copies of items here. They say on the post about how they are so against limited knock offs are are willing to take action in them
In reality i have not seen this actually take place whatsoever and the only times ive seen limiteds actually get taken down as of recently is by the DSA system. Here are some recently uploaded items that are currently onsale at this given time!
for roblox saying they plan on implementing detection it sure does suck
This has been an issue for years at this point and i would honestly expect way more harsh punishments towards people that do upload these types of items as they are typically repeating offenders or affiliated with those that repeat those offenses.
Suggestion for limited knock off detection
I feel like this would be possible with the technology roblox has but what if roblox’s ai moderation could review items in a 360 angle instead of just the thumbnail? If you haven’t noticed a good bit of limited knock off faces for example have the thumbnails of the items facing the back to prevent it from getting detected. in other words, at least a thing where it checks the item all around would probably help it detect some copies better along with some other technical stuff to improve that process.
Free Limited fees are now too expensive.
Incase you haven’t been aware, free limited are a good way to keep a community active and be able to make events for your game with a reward. Unfortunately this is now nearly impossible to do unless you own one of the biggest games on roblox or is a brand.
Free limiteds are now 100 robux PER QUANTITY.
This means if you were to make a limited that was free with 10,000 stock it would cost 1 million robux to publish when before it was like 10-30 robux per stock depending on the accessory type. The sudden change alone is enough to anger anyone that do these limited events or were planning to.
Suggestion for free limited price
Lower the price a good bit at least so its actually affordable to host events with limiteds, people love being able to obtain stuff for free.
Lack of features
Theres actually a lot of unreleased features that were planned and things that just aren’t optimized. here’s a good list of some of those features that should be added in:
- ABILITY TO UPLOAD SHOES
- Changing thumbnails of already uploaded items
- Being able to delete your own items that you did upload, with the same refund system taking place to users that bought the item recently
I can honestly go on and on about examples of these that would honestly improve quality of life for being a UGC Creator drastically that should of been implemented before public UGC’s release
Other suggestions that i want to squeeze in that would make a healthier marketplace
-
users that abuse their perms get their uploads revoked not only on their account but also hardware, IP, linked email to prevent their alt accounts from being able to upload as easily.
-
being able to select colors of items to buy, a good example would be just any online store that has a selection of colors to buy separately.
-
the group page where you find groups should have a category for UGC groups for shopping for accessories
