Big time agree with this. They have already stripped away other features we paid for while offering nothing more than, “well you’re lucky you get what you get still even though you paid money.” Advertised parts of the purchase, such as the abiltiy to “upgrade at any time” were taken away and never replaced. Asking lifetime subscription users to pay for uploads, which was a feature of their lifetime subscription seems dishonest and like double dipping.

I just did a little calculating with some things to see how much it would cost to make profit from selling clothes with these restrictions. First let’s say you sell your clothes for 5 
each. You make 3.5 after the tax. Let’s now assume that each of your clothes sell 100 times. You would need 100 different clothes, running you around 10,000 . You would need to buy all that robux, costing at least $90. With all that, after spending that money, you DevEx. You make a solid $240. If you had premium using the current upload system, you would be making $345. Forget DevEx, for many small creators 100,000 is something that they don’t even think about considering how distant that is from reality. This is shameful and upsetting.

I really like that idea. Dedicating parts of the catalog as a ‘moderated’ section and towards approved creators could be a useful and successful feature to be added in the future. That way many of the actually hard working creators get the attention that is overdue.

This situation (again) reminds me of the Price Floor update back in mid-late 2013. This time however, players aren’t struggling to buy clothes, they’re going to struggle to MAKE these clothes. Mainly, smaller roblox shirt creators who have a hard time having a footing in the Roblox clothing business.
In fact, I can see how this new update can also cause players to become discouraged from making clothes at all! Paying a $100 Robux fee just for creating clothes is rather ridiculous, and I’m hoping it gets lowered a fair amount of this fee if its going to stay.
TL;DR This is a really, REALLY bad move on Roblox’s account, and I hope the fee will be considered to become lower than its bonkers $100 per piece.

Exactly. My group is so small right now most things get 0 sales anyways. but its 100 robux theres no way I could ever afford anything. Im going to make as many things as possible the rest of the year before i have to pay.

Will I still have to pay a fee if I have premium? That seems like a bit much if so.

how much robux was it if you wanted too?
This is legitimately the worst idea Roblox has ever had, no matter how low the final price will be.
Adding this in will stop anyone from wanting to be a clothing creator. Why bother paying however much it will be with no guarantee of making that money back, much less enough robux to afford to make another piece of clothing let alone profit from it?
I run a 300+ member clothing group, and I average 3-5 sales per piece if I get lucky. I would legitimately prefer my clothing keep getting stolen as it has been for ages now rather than have to give up on this entirely just because having an absurdly steep sales tax isn’t enough for Roblox.
On top of this, how will this stop people from botting clothing? If someone is botting clothing already, odds are they’ll easily afford to bot more clothing with how often younger players end up buying said stolen clothing. Botters already pay for premium to upload everything, at worst it would cost them another $10 or so which they will most likely make back from the offsite robux selling they do.
I do not see this being good long term for Roblox as a community or place to create clothing. Bots will still exist, clothing theft will still exist, this will only cause a lot less people to not want to make clothing. Heck, if this does go through, I probably will have to stop making clothing too, I can’t afford this in the slightest with how little I make from my group EVEN IF the sales tax gets entirely removed.

As a designer, I don’t like this idea because it takes a lot of work from advertising to paying workers to much more. I think you should instead keep it for the people with premium or limit the amount of clothing someone may upload a week. This is a terrible idea no offense. If someone wants to release a shirt and pants that’ll be 200?! No, thank you.

I feel like those who have an opinion agreeing with this do not understand the extent and the difficulty it forms upon designers who are on the uprise.
Not only does this limit creative freedom, you’re expected to spend out of your own product to gamble if a piece will do good. As someone who understands how it feels to be a designer on the uprise, it doesn’t give equal opportunities in Development.
As essential as developers like scripters, builders, UI designers and many others are, it seems clothing designers are not granted the appreciation they need.
Think of it in this way, if you’re not a clothing designer - Imagine having to pay to write a script, imagine having to pay for the number of bricks placed in studio, imagine having to pay for each UI you make. It’s not ideal for you, if this happened, correct?
I would view it through a lens of a clothing designer, this is a huge step backwards rather than focusing attention on issues that are essential, including plagiarism of clothing which is yet in the catalog till date.
This is ripping a platform off from creative designers, and we are misinterpreted and not given the credit we deserve. Putting a fee is limiting the creative freedom of a designer, which is the opposite of the motto Roblox enforces, “Powering Imagination”. This is not powering imagination, it is restricting developers from having creative freedom because of a price enforced on uploading their own work.
Please re-evaluate your opinion on this and see how it impacts all Clothing Designers because there’s much to it in comparison to what appears on the surface.

As someone who has designed clothing before, I personally think people are overreacting to this. The 100 robux was obviously a placeholder price.
While I don’t think this is going to obliterate clothing bots, it will certainly help. Bots make thousands of pieces of clothing and 99% of their botted clothing get no sales at all.
Due to limited items botters can still easily afford to make tons of clothing, but they’ll have a much harder time making any profit.

A lot of people don’t have / don’t want to spend 100 robux because they are not willing to spend about 1 dollar per asset UPLOAD.
This seems crazy to me, why would it be that expensive and necessary in the first place.

I like the idea of using the money you earn in uploading clothing. But those people who have people uploading their clothing will have to pay them 100 more robux for them. then all these people will not be able to support their groups as they do not make this much for ONE piece.
Also this is another idea that would benefit even small designing groups-

I haven’t read all the replies but, what if you mess up a shirt and need to re-upload, do you have to pay the fee again for another shirt?

it’s like editing an t-shirt before you just change it’s image id if you can if not then contact support
Even if it helps, it would be slow as support isn’t the fastest, y’know.

You can use studio to test all of your clothing to finality before you upload it as shirts/pants.
Only problem is that decal moderation is different than shirt/pants moderation.
Not sure if this is what you meant.
