Out of curiosity, why the specific exemption for T-Shirts? Is there a technical reason?
I actually prefer the idea of free uploads with a fee only being required to publish the item and sell it. It would allow for tests and revisions, as well as creating personal items, without having to spend extra Robux. Would be cool if the T-Shirt exemption became the norm for all of these item types.
When will there be instructions or a system to allow us to test / update clothing as we work? I usually make tons of uploads just to check proportions, how things look, and how they align. This will become very expensive if I donât get it perfect on the first try. It seems unfair to roll this out to any users before there are instructions or a way to test things.
I agree. What if our clothing get moderated? They should at least make it so that itâs free to upload, but you must pay a small fee to put it on sale.
Please correct me if Iâm wrong, but from what Iâve seen, it costs 50 robux to upload, and 50 robux to put on sale.
50 robux alone does not seem like a lot but letâs fully analyze this. Most people sell their clothings around 50 robux and less especially if your starting out. So letâs say your selling a shirt for 50 robux and your lucky enough for someone to find your clothing which is already hard by itself. Roblox automatically takes 15 robux from that 50. Your still at a loss. So that means you need two sales to even make a profit on a product. Any business man will tell you that your business is a terrible business investment and most will increase their price or just straight up leave. Yes your right, 50 robux is not a lot of robux⌠for big groups. But you forgot to think about the smaller creators.
So now 50 robux? Iâm disappointed with this update, itâs ruining small clothing designers and forcing them to quit, itâs really sad to see how roblox donât care about their developers.
Plus us clothing designers only get 3 robux per sale, we wonât tolerate something like that.
I think the reason for excluding T-Shirts from the upload fee is because they have always been free to upload, for both free and Premium members, and it wouldnât look very good if they suddenly took away one of the few free and unlimited customisation features that all players have.
Uh, itâs better to just hire a more advanced software engineer to program a function to detect duplicate uploads and moderate them instead of enraging the community and taking the lazy way out and just putting a fee on everything. Putting a fee is merely making the problem worse.
This is insane. I already know most of the clothing designers on the platform will be furious with what youâve done here. Honestly myself Iâm annoyed this was changed and rather have it be locked behind premium then have to pay PER upload.
Having said that, I donât think you even design clothing. You donât know how much it is already at cost that weâre losing. Itâs about making a profit not losing the profit. You build, which requires you to barely upload anything besides what, textures, models, meshes, animations? Correct me if Iâm wrong, but being a builder doesnât require you to upload things and pay a R$50 fee with that upload. If you arenât a clothing designer, I donât think you should be commenting on posts regarding it because you donât know how this is going to impact people, especially smaller designers that donât have a lot of money to start out with.
Like @godstros mentioned, you are a builder. You need to upload items like meshes, animations, etc, just like how designers need to upload designs. How would you like it if it costed you 50-100 robux to upload a mesh or whatever you need uploaded? Wouldnât you feel upset about this? Please donât post anything without knowing how it will impact others.
this may be a good update that COULD potentially be a step further from stopping upload bots but whenâs the search/sorting algorithm going to be fixed? the only way youâre able to find clothes is through searching up other peoplesâ profiles and looking through their clothes / groups.
BINGO! The main reason why these clothing bots could get so many sales is because of the roblox catalog. One sale leads to another, and so on. This happens when people are too lazy to search through groups or someoneâs original clothing. They type a keyword in the search bar, and scroll through a bunch of stolen clothing. Besides from the fee, the catalog algorithms need to be fixed too. Otherwise, the bots will continue making more robux off of these clothingâŚ
