Upcoming Changes to Avatar Catalog Upload Requirements

100 Robux is way too much to upload clothing. Maybe 20 Robux for a shirt and pants. T-shirts should still remain free as it gives those a sense of uniqueness if they can’t afford Robux. We are in a pandemic no one gonna buy Robux to make a pair of clothing.

This is how everyone will Rage Quit roblox.

Wouldnt you think Roblox would actually listen to the communities feedback? Well think again.

Typical of Roblox to mistreat clothing designers like this, instead of improving moderation and applying more force to your moderation team – you basically throw clothing designers out of the window.
The avatar shop for clothing has become abysmal and instead of trying to help clothing designers, you throw a hit or miss option at them, ridiculous and totally unprofessional.

Welp, guess that’s the end of my plans to design clothing…

The issue with that is people buy accounts, what is stopping a user with malicious intent from buying a second hand lifetime BC account to then bot clothing?

Would rather pay for Premium than pay 50 Robux every shirt and pants upload. Smaller clothing groups would go into a defecit. They’ll have more money going out than coming in.

The selling fee was only for T-shirts

I think instead of charging a fee to upload an item there should just be a cool down. It could be 24 hours or 12 hours or something else.

“ROBLOX, Powering Imaginaton.”

Where did that go when you thought of this “marvelous” idea? Your platform has been used to develop and create things that no other game can. It would be ridiculous to add a 1K :robux_gold: fee when a developer wants to upload a game, right? Then why would you implement a fee for users that have a gift and talent on creating clothing designs that most of your users on the platform express themselves with?

This is ridiculous, ROBLOX. You are going to loose a lot of profit from all the clothing sales you have been taking a small percentage from. I think a better idea is working with these clothing designers, big and small, and find a way to solve this. As someone who was about to go into clothing design to make a profit, this is devastating. For now, I will be holding off on this dream of mine until you fix this problem. :man_facepalming:

Wait,so that means that non-premium users[not including me,i have premium and group]
Can make clothes but they need to pay 50 robux to create one?
Well decreasing from 50 to 10 robux will be good so when they create clothes and give robux[but if it fails u cant buy,u can only get charged if make clothes and if it doesnt fail ur acc will be charged and 10 robux will get removed from ur acc] premium users doesnt need to pay to make clothes.Well making so non premium users can make shirts but buy to make them will be fair.

Didn’t they get rid of lifetime subscriptions when changing builders club to premium?

Privating templates won’t work as one can extract the image from within the game as the client downloads it.

It’s alot less complicated than that. You can just change the ID in the URL and you’ll get the template eventually.

I think they’re having a hard time coming up with a proper solution to botting. You’d think as a billion dollar corporation they would have the resources to come up with a better solution.

I agree. This update is unfair and I feel like Roblox is ruining their platform. I think of Roblox as a place where I can share my ideas and express myself. It’s hard to do that now due to there being a fee.

Being a smaller clothing designer, while I understand the change somewhat, I’ve only made about three times the amount of my group fee (aka creating the group) in total over a year, now I probably won’t upload anything more as I won’t make nearly as much off of it.

If I were to have uploaded with this fee, I would’ve lost over 500+ robux from fees and never earn it back.

Otherwise, I sort of understand the change but it still just doesn’t help most of us smaller people.

now I have to update my portfolio to tell people I don’t upload my clothing, and that they only get the asset/clothing that they paid for.

This was exactly my point. For small designers, the 50 Robux fee is an obstacle that some cannot face without purchasing Robux.

From experience I know for a fact it’s much easier to point fingers and provide radical suggestions to mitigate the problem of botting on Roblox. This kind of situation where people steal assets and re-upload them is not specific to Roblox – it plagues a lot of companies and developers throughout the internet.

I don’t think Roblox is ignoring this problem on purpose. It’s a very difficult situation to overcome. It’s most likely going to take years of planning and slow rollouts of futures to slow down botting. I’ve seen suggestions like “nuking the entire catalog and reuploading everything that was ever uploaded”: this isn’t viable for Roblox as a business and isn’t viable for the developers who uploaded them.
