Builders Exploit "PP" to Draw Players

Many of you have heard of the test feature ROBLOX has added known as "Player Points" or "PP". On my last visit to ROBLOX, I noticed many places were on the first page only because they boasted "free" player points (per kill/ per win/ every x minutes). In fact, there was even a place selling player points for Robux...

Stop luring players in with this.

Whoever actually buys into these things is, in my opinion, absolutely ridiculous. Not only has ROBLOX stated that PP may only be temporary and could be reset for your account at any given time, why people are trading their bought-virtual-currency for something that can gain you nothing is absolutely beyond my comprehension.

By spending money on ROBUX, you can at least defend yourself by saying that you can use it to purchase virtual items (which I also find ridiculous). But with PP, you can do nothing with it, it gets you nothing, and it is basically just a bunch of numbers next to an icon of a red star.

My point is, people should be attracted to a place for its quality building/scripting not because it boasts "free" player points for every x amount of time you spend there or however many wins or kills you gain.

The Removal of Tix: A Look Back

ROBLOX removed their free currency "Tix" in 2016 Logging in every day to get free money, who wouldn't want that? ROBLOX used to award players 10 tickets, or "Tix" as they were abbreviated, for logging in every day to use to buy hats, clothing, and gear. However, as the game grew in popularity, the folks at ROBLOX began seeing less and less of a reason to reward people for logging in. "The games are what will bring them," they thought. Were they right?

Hotel Transylvania 2 - ROBLOX Event

This fall, ROBLOX is hosting an event sponsored by the new Hotel Transylvania 2 movie (if you haven't seen the first, it was ok). In this event, ROBLOX is giving away some cool new hats.

ROBLOX and 8-Bit Hats

ROBLOX has released many 8-Bit hats over the course of its "hat-making history", but recently it has gone a little overboard. 8-bit hats are a certain type of hat that ROBLOX has created that looks pixelated (made up of large pixels or unclear). However, that hats are actually composed of many small cubes (yes, the hats are in 3d). I was fine with the 8-bit Top Hat, Fedora, Sword, and even the Viking Helmet! 8-Bit Phoenix by ROBLOX Then, everything changed when the fire nation attacked they decided to release the 8-bit Phoenix and the 8-bit Sombrero.
