That’s a fair point, but it’ll at least let them know that if they do, there’s less of a risk of them getting their clothing stolen.
There are so many different ways to approach than to make the legit clothing community suffer, such as but not limited to: survey, being active for an extended period of time, better captchas, a website plugin which allows the website to check for similar files (I might be optimistic here but it is possible), and a better way to track copied clothing.
A fee cannot be the only solution, @Roblox. All the fee will do to bots is nothing, only really affecting the new bots that come on the platform. However, a fee will make every “new” roblox clothing designer suffer.
Please @Roblox, you need to understand the hardship the majority of clothing designers face on the platform.

Now that you pay robux to upload clothing, its basically the same. You get robux to upload. Only difference is you get robux at the end of the month for premium.
Premium users being able to upload shirts and pants for free would make the reason for this change redundant. So no, Premium users will have to pay to upload too.
Unless you’re the one who’ll be paying for our upload fees, then read the room and please understand we’re not happy. This doesn’t help us, only lessens our income.

Awful for people just starting out.

There will be a lot of backlash from those of us who don’t have much robux and to new players who want to upload free t-shirts, but it will guaranteed get rid of a lot of bots.
It’s nice to see Roblox trying something new that could prevent clothing botting in the future. Botted/stolen clothes have been an issue for extremely long, and hopefully the paywall prevents this botted clothing issue. Not requiring Premium to upload clothing should also bring about an interesting change. I’m curious to see what creators will make of this…

I understand why this is happening, and I like that Roblox is willing to take that step, but I don’t like the idea of fees at all. To make money off clothing, usually the price has to be 5-7 robux for people to want to buy it. We barely make money off of our clothing. We’re just going to be paying more than we make.

People argue that it’s cheaper to spend 100 robux per a shirt or pant, but really you can only upload 2 full outfits for the price of premium. Premium cost 5 USD and it gives you 400 robux.

Will this price be for just T-Shirts or all clothing? I own a medium sized clothing group with just over 2,000 members, if we have to pay to upload our clothing, at let’s say 100 robux per item, it won’t be profitable for us. We will lose a lot of money. If this is just T-Shirts I would say this is reasonable. There is too many scams with T-Shirts. My 5 year old brother bought a cat T-Shirt that was 500 robux accidentally, he cried for 3 hours when he realized he had no more robux. It is something that needs to be stopped. But if the price is applied I don’t see how new designers and groups can start, and for groups like me, it will become a profit loss. We will pay uploading clothes than we will be making.

The bots would pay 50R$ for it and a lot of legit roblox designers who dont have 50R$ will lose their clothes.

That is a very fair point, even with the price people will put robux on the accounts and program a bot to bypass it. Like they have trade bots, limited sniper bots, like bots, visit bots etc. Prices will do nothing, make a cool down or something, you can only upload x amount of clothing every x amount of hours, with a complex captcha.

Hopefully in the future, Roblox won’t make an update where making a game costs 100+ robux.

Does the fee only effect clothing when you sell it or by uploading it
Imagine a military group trying to upload uniforms and they have to spend 90% of their budget struggling with uploading the uniforms in the first place

Imagine, I have over 3000 testing places. Imagine if it cost 100 robux each time, smh.

Adding a captcha is reasonable, but it doesn’t seem to be so effective against bots in the first place. Having anti-copy measures would be a far better solution to the botting issue, not punishing the people actually trying to make real content by making them pay for it.
Sort of like punishing the entire class because of one kid or friend group.

Half of designing community isn’t happy with this update, alot of designers might quit because of this update because of the fee, not saying that the fee is confirmed, but what if the fee is 100 robux? How is this going to help small clothing groups? Us small clothing designers are worried about that becase if we pay fee for 100 robux and price our clothing to 5 robux it won’t do anything because we’re going to get only 3 robux per sale, not going to help at all.

This is a really bad solution to a really bad problem. I think more thought should’ve been put into this before throwing this all out to the public, judging from a lot of peoples concerns and problems regarding this idea, I think it should be reverted. This post is very vague and doesn’t even answer some peoples questions and concerns, and the fact that ROBLOX is just throwing fee’s at us one creation after the other is absurd. I’m a small developer myself who occasionally does clothing from time to time, how are we supposed to grow if we have to deal with stupid ideas like these? You guys throw enough fee’s at us already.
For those who will respond by saying something along the lines of, “this is a platform that roblox is allowing you to use!!”, or “this is only possible because of roblox!!”. Yes, that may be true, but that shouldn’t give them the excuse to throw more fee’s at us. Eventually everything on roblox will be covered by fee’s and that’s the last thing I want to see.

So I need to pay 100 robux for my clothing to be stolen and resold + 30% fee that Roblox is taking. Nice.
