What I think that person meant is you’ve clearly had plenty of robux at some point and you have the ability to sell the dominus if needs be. The difference between premium and now is that you could upload loads with premium. Lots of designers, including me at one point, would wait and save up designs before buying premium so it wasn’t a waste. The truth of clothing design is, high quality doesn’t always sell, the aesthetics do. So, it’s gonna be the inverse of what you’ve said: you’re going to see much more low detail and possibly quality stuff because it sells. That means less high details and much less men’s wear. The copier groups who sell ‘aesthetic’ clothes will thrive, genuine artists and designers have and will give up.

A question about this part. I’ve seen many people that think you have to pay 50 to upload shirts and pants, as well as pay another 50 to put them on sale. is this true? from what I’ve read, it’s 50 robux to upload shirts and pants - and free to put on sale, and 50 robux to put on sale T shirts, while uploading them is free. I would love some confirmation about this, because it is very confusing.

Exactly. Often times I am forced to upload clothing 3 to 4 times at various stages of creation to perfect them, but with this update, I have 1 chance to upload clothing that I most likely will not even put on sale and that I doubt will pull more than 3 sales because I only make them for myself to wear. If copied clothing was the issue, this is not the solution.

Supposedly that will be solved by this new feature for that exact problem.
Personally I think this is a great new feature, though unfortunately it was included with this terrible update.
The only issue with this feature that I could think of is that clothing designers will be forced to learn an understanding of Studio if they haven’t already, which is pretty inconvenient.

Not a new feature. They’re just demonstrating something that could already do.
Oh, my bad.
But my point about it being an inconvenience still stands.

Honestly can not agree with you more. All I see it doing is ruining small creators.
I know for a fact if I were to upload a piece of merchandise in the current “fame level” that I am now, it will not make the 50 Robux back, at least for a long time
50 Robux fee and all we get is 70% of the earnings… Quite disappointing.

Now watch the average clothing price skyrocket just to compensate for this terrible update. I can’t wait to pay 200 robux for a pair of pants that would normally only be 5.

I would be fine with this update if Premium Users didn’t have to pay the fee, because it’s outrageous to think I’m giving you real money, and on top of that I have to spend the robux I bought just to put up a darn shirt or pants.
Roblox, if you’re seeing this, please be more informative on the effects to premium.
At the same time Premium users should still be getting a tax reduction, like 20% instead of 30%, or heck even 15% or 10%.

“Have the ability to sell the dominus”, you realize a lot of extremely valuable limiteds are items people cherish, and that even under the worst circumstance, they wouldn’t sell them AT ALL. You’re real insensitive to think that he can just buy a new one, for gosh sakes…

In my opinion, one better solution to prevent clothing botters would be to add a daily upload limit. And only when you reach the limit, you must pay for uploading.
Also, Premium users should have a higher daily uploading limit that non-Premium users, and a reduced tax.

This is just disappointing. Designers across the platform expressed deep dislike for this planned update, yet it is still being released anyway. This is not the way to fix the clothing catalog. The catalog needs better moderation and protection against botting, not charging hard-working individuals and bots alike for clothing. Designers deserve better.
My thoughts exactly. ROBLOX will never make games cost ROBUX to make, no matter how many clickbait, scented cons, copies, or ROBUX scam games are produced. So why do it for clothing? I know games are the main focus of the platform, but that does not change the fact that this is unfair to clothing designers, big and small alike.

Please don’t preach that, you might actually make roblox force games to cost robux to give everyone “equal treatment”, seriously, don’t give them ideas.

I’m not say it as if he needs to sell it, I totally agree with you. I’d keep a dominus if I could afford one too. Nevertheless, insensitive or not, that’s the truth, whether we agree with it or not: the dominus is another way to gain robux and a lot of them. It was moreso a clarification for the user in question. He was claiming 50 robux was a small amount and another user believed that they had plenty of robux due to them owning the dominus. Not an unreasonable belief.
My point was that moderation is focusing more on games than clothing, and this release is just a pity shot at allowing them to do less work and gain more money.
100% agree, just don’t give them ideas, the platform will take a backwards summer-salt nose dive into the dumpster.
First off, this is a huge disadvantage as stated by thousands of designers above. Secondly, your main player base is KIDS, how will they afford pricing raises if your adding a 50 ROBUX fee to even upload it? This is a huge disadvantage to both sides and I can only think of groups that make 100k+ a month that will be able to stay afloat with this, small designers unless they’re getting revenue from somewhere else will not.

This is an incredibly unsmart idea.
Making the fee larger than what they can make back in one purchase of their item leaves for no stability.
Providing a fee can prevent first time designers from designing ultimately turning away that part of Roblox, which is still a big part of Roblox.
This stops more than bots, and is even hurting longtime designers who look forward to putting their talents on the site.
Hopefully this gets reconsidered.
