I honestly wish that yall would remove the fees on everything, like, whoâs going to bot audio, badges, etc?

There were people botting the free models section for attention, but that was easily solved with captchas when uploading models.
Thereâs no fee nor captcha for uploading modules
Iâve gotten captchas for uploading models a few times in recent months. Maybe it depends on the account as I upload all of my stuff to alts.
Exactly, yet ROBLOX is too dumb to realize it. Itâs sad, ROBLOX does not ask the creators opinions on what to do with the platform they expect us to run.

I understand why this update must be implemented; however, I donât see spending a $1.00 USD fee each time uploading + selling clothing to be a reasonable amount. For clothing designers, this could lead to hundreds to even potentially thousands of dollars being spent on clothing fees alone. Not many developers have that kind of money, and that is why the fee should, at the least, be reduced to a lower amount.
I agree that a better alternative to this update would be to continue moderating copied, stolen, or otherwise copyrighted clothing and to have the public-view clothing sections to be approved or even paying users. The current update could in fact still be abused by false clothing content creators if they are making a large profit from selling copied clothing.
This would help solve most of the issues, but then again bots could easily just use older accounts.

It makes me sad to see that ROBLOX staff and workers are still making this a thing even after they have seen the bad reviews and reactions from the community. Are they trying to limit the creativity for clothing designers? Programming a game doesnât cost any robux at all on ROBLOX, so why should clothing designing? I can see partially where they are coming from, botting has been a pretty big issue, but add more certification. You already said botting will be prevented by a human verifying it is not botted, so why is this price now needed. ROBLOX is also now basically rendering premium useless. Now all you u get is a little image next to your name and same extra robux each purchase. Says goodbye to your premium subscribers. And when you loose most of your creative clothing designers, crushing their dreams and hopes of getting noticed, donât try and fix it then. Fix it now, get rid of this stupid tax and just actually work on human verification. This could have been fixed without this price. Just having premium was good enough, and now ROBLOX apparently wants to crush the dreams of small clothing designers when all it seems like they care about is the money they get from people trying to upload their creativity. Apparently the money they get from people buying premium wasnât enough, and now they need to add an extra price. I hope you are going to be happy when you lose most of your designers, rendering the whole ROBLOX community angry at you for a decision so easy. If the community obviously doesnât like this, why continue to do it? And another thing, you sound so happy at the fact that you are ruining so many peoples designing careers! You are acting like this is such a good update, when the community obviously has giving negative feedback. Powering Imagination? Sure. More like Powering Discouragement.

I agree. ROBLOX, the platform for Imagination and Creativity, the platform that I loved to create fun things on, is now becoming a money and power hungry corporation, also while not caring at all about what the developers and clothing designers think. People do obviously hate this update, but ROBLOX canât pass up the chance to take more money.

This is my last post on this update. Roblox, I understand how the catalog is the biggest embarrassment to the platform. Itâs filled with tons of botted clothing but, this update wonât change the fact that the big bot groups have tons of robux so they live even with the fee. People might argue if they terminate all popular bots they find they can make sure bots canât come back. Although this is true that is if roblox finds them all. And the saddest thing is the small clothing groups. Not a lot of clothing designers can pay with these kinds of fees. Now I have to worry about paying my designer and having enough for the fee and advertisements if those even help get enough sales to pay for everything.
I hope this constructive criticism helps everyone understand how this update has overall had a negative outcome trying to make a positive outcome.

I personally believe that this update has more cons than pros. One that I donât see previously mentioned is Roblox Premiumâs features. It seems like Roblox Developer Relations is continuing to revoke Roblox Premiumâs features. In fact, Iâll probably cancel my membership, as thereâs really no point now.
In addition, of course, the small clothing designers are basically being put out of business. Furthermore, mass production designers are going to be in trouble. Even if you only produce ten pieces of clothing per month, that will cost 500 R$. If each piece of clothing costs 5 R$, subtracting the tax rate, you would need to receive 167 sales to get your money back.
Perhaps the most frustrating thing about this update is that it hasnât worked. Thereâs still loads of botted clothing in the Roblox catalog.
Iâll be honest. It seems like this was just a ploy to get more money.

I donât think roblox would do that as seeing all the post about this being bad would make the player count of the platform lower. Roblox being less popular is bad for their business.

People do realize that Roblox made it 50 Robux per item instead of 100. Be appreciative!

Once again, true. The fact that the community is very negative and against this update is one thing, but instead of ROBLOX listening to their community like they claim to do, they act like everything is wonderful and ignore the tons of negative viewpoints. Same for me, might as well quite Premium, ROBLOX will just limit that further in the future as well. Eventually all it will become is a image next to your username. The only pro I can see is a possible fix to botting, but this wonât fix it. Botting groups have so much robux from botting, so they will be able to pay this fee, only allowing them to gain more robux. This more of limits the clothing designers while helping botting groups. Who is ROBLOX really thing to help? Itâs hard to really see here.

Yes itâs lower but, that wonât change that it still requires 17 sales on a piece of 5 robux clothing to get the robuxs back with 1 to spare.
Why do we need to be appreciative? I would be appreciative if this fee was eradicated all together! If it was at 100 robux, ROBLOX would have lost every. single. one. Of their designers. They didnât want this, so they lowered it, while still keeping it high enough to limit small clothing designers and for them to scoop in all that extra money. This is seriously going to make clothing designing flop, because you would have to make so much sales just to get that 59 robux back. This is a rediculous fee and update and ROBLOX should have taken it off the drawing board after seeing the negative response from the community.
