If this fee will be implemented it will make shirts and pants go a lot higher, nobody will sell their clothing for just 5-8 roux anymore as they want to make sure the fee will get payed.
So all items will rise in price back to the time where all items where 71 robux lol.
Roblox this could be a cool feture for people that have premium that basicly makes it the they get a price cut. So you basically make it cheaper for premium members as a feature. It basically just makes it easy for clothing designers to sell more clothes.
Verification systems (email, captcha, etc) have proven time and time again to be ineffective.
The way I see it, this solves a problem by creating two major ones.
First of all, nothing has been done about copying clothing and just republishing it. The same thing is going to happen, and this fee will not change any of that.
Second, the people who aspired to be clothing designers now have to pay money to get there. While I have no problem with the idea I’d be paying a small fee to put up clothing, 100 Robux truly does add up. 10 or 20? There would be no complaints about that (well, maybe some) but my point is that this fee needs to be lowered. This is going to hurt clothing designers more than the bad actors,
Please listen to your community, Roblox.
I don’t even know how to start this… This year, I have noticed that Roblox has been making literally the worst updates. You’re discouraging your players and this is just a mess. Along with that bot statement, bot accounts do have Robux (from what I know of), and that they would be able to do this.
Good job, Roblox- I expect way better updates than this. Also, I completely disagree with all this.
Just going to point this out but when Roblox accidentally released an update for t-shirts uploads to be priced it was a set price of 100 robuxs. seen in this bug report: T-Shirts Suddenly Cost Robux to Put Up for Sale
As I have said many times this is not going to work for small groups trying to start up.
I really hope Roblox Staff listen to the community and here us small group owners that don’t make a 100 a day hear us out.
But, if this was a brand new update right now, what about the small designer’s that barely have Robux, and wants to design, even when they have a premium because they might have spent the Robux without knowing this might be a thing.
Roblox, you do realized this won’t do anything but hurt the clothing community even more right? Because of old sales the bots will just use that Robux to spam more clothing, therefore it won’t help.
And most clothing designers don’t even make that much Robux unless they’re a Youtuber or something.
So this does nothing (In my Opinion).
This is OUTRAGEOUS! Don’t you realize you’re killing small creators this way? It’s already hard to make any profit from clothes, and now we’re even supposed to pay to sell our hard-worked designs? This won’t stop the problem, people who have botted already have thousands or millions of Robux, this won’t change anything. Please listen to us once… I’m a small creator myself, and I can’t afford to pay each time I need to upload a design. Please don’t make it harder on us.
Never have clothing again either.
Instead of paying premium, which is like $7 for unlimited uploads, you now have to pay 100 robux for one item upload. That’s 200 robux for an outfit, It costs $5 for 400 robux, so you’re essentially paying $5 for four items of clothing to upload. It really isn’t a “tremendous update” at all.
At least Premium people should get it for free.
That wouldn’t make any sense, $5 for a shirt botter and earn a profit of like 30k+ isn’t good
Well, then where does Premium go to? What’s the point of it for us?
You guys don’t realize that Roblox has done nothing but harm small clothing creators for years now and this is just the nail in the coffin. Small clothing creators make no profit for their company, only the big ones; which happens to be the only creators that wouldn’t even notice this fee. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Roblox shift towards locking clothing creation to certain developers only, just like they did with the UGC. This update would be a mistake, but it’d be very far from the first mistake that they’ve ever made. Don’t expect much hope for them to reverse this update, but at least we’re trying?
This is just one upcoming update. Can you find any previous updates that also harms small clothing creators.
If the fee isn’t all that high, then this update to clothing uploads should be alright.
You can ask the several thousands of clothing groups that get their groups locked for no reason, work stolen with no punishment, entire group stores being deleted for no reason, owners being terminated for “stealing clothing” despite being stolen from, and more. I don’t expect it to matter to you when you don’t have to experience any of these things
People say that botting will continue. I don’t see how that’s possible. Bots only run if its proftable, and it certainly won’t be after this. I foresee front-page method being more popular - that is, buying your clothes at a high price to rank it higher in the algorithm, and slowly gain profit over the following weeks sales. The catalog will be worse since botters will switch to this method and then artists won’t be able to rank their clothing higher in the search algorithm.
I know the only thing we can do is spread awareness I’m gonna try to get my message out and hopefully it can get likes so they can see. There are so many designers quitting their passion because of Roblox making so much boundaries and difficulties for us.
I’m honestly tired. Soon they will mess with the wrong people and can most likely get sued for something.
