i can see why people are mad, i was honestly kinda mad once it became such an issue where multiple fake limiteds of basically anything expensive was out. but like to be fair, most players dont feel like spending thousands of dollars or days and months trading just to get their dream item just because they think it looks cool, they just want to buy it, and wear it.
I really wanted Doge Bunny or Zombie doge but at the long moment i might get the Doge Bunny one but if I'm lucky to trade someone for Zombie Doge then my dream item is successful
@@OutlineUtils ik I feel like ugc creation should only be accessible to verified accounts or like people who will use it for good and not just copy limiteds
I'm a game dev, I don't trade at all, and I've spent months working on stuff and improving my craft to buy a CF and SSHF, the CF in particular is something I've wanted since joining Roblox in 2010, not to trade, but to wear, because I've worked hard for it, so to see these fake versions popping up is demotivating to say the least.
Roblox literally from the beginning would sell basic items for like $40, and then began to retexture things and sell them for hundreds. The limited system should've never existed.
Roblox is purposefully allowing limited knockoffs because it generates more money. Think about it, Which is generating more money: A 200,000r$ limited, or a
I think this is like a nice thing if you actually thought about this ppl getting their dream item even if it's fake, i don't really support the UGC community but if you thought how many ppl could be happy about this it is gonna make you smile
I put in a lot of work developing games so I could buy a valk. now people just assume my valk is fake. What makes limiteds cool is primarily their rarity and value. UGC has ruined that. I don't think people realize the side effects of this. There is now less incentive to make games on the platform. I likely wouldn't have started developing if I could've just bought a fake version. I'm not the only developer who got into it as a way to earn these limiteds.
Same man, I feel for you. Like I said in a reply to one of the other comments, I was able to buy a CF, my dream item ever since I joined Roblox thanks to becoming a game dev, and now there's fakes. I can't take Roblox seriously these days.
I see why people (traders) get mad at these BUT they have to understand that people dont have thousands of dollars to spend on premium or just limiteds in general you are hella underrated tho
the traders didn't spend money on it, they should be mad because they spent countless hours and much effort to get these items. these ugc just let people get it in less than 5 minutes for like 100 robux max
Personally I don’t think the ugc limited copies are the problem I think that it’s human nature to try to get something they can’t especially when it takes like 1000 irl dollars just to get some hats
If they were to create their own custom one off versions, I think that would be fine. Something like a pastel pink King of the night, or a brown raggedy Dominus. But making pure copies draws the line imo.
I have a fake ice Valkyrie. the real one cost 320,000/ 2984.88 USD so if you realize I am not going to spend over $2500 for a ROBLOX cosmetic. I think it was a good idea to buy a fake one because it cost 190 which is 4.99 rather than 320,000 which is $2984.88
The fact that it has altered the market to such an extreme degree is unacceptable. Clearly Roblox doesn't want to invest the money needed to protect their Intellectual property. If this is true why buy anything? Even other UGC items can be copied and nothing will be done. Roblox should just hire people from the trading community to do moderation. Clearly those individuals are far more invested in the items than the company itself and would do a much better job.
@@generalgrievous262 Analogies are not equivalent statements. Both things relate in the way that they are both status symbols. The whole reason poorons want limiteds to be copied is so they can pretend to be something they are not.
i found the purple gen from the purple fedora hat i thought it was kinda familiar but didnt think much til i saw this. edit: there a silver star sigil which is literally cheap silver star limited thing and its 16 robux- roblox didnt even care-
before y’all comment keep in mind that i commented this before watching and its the fedora hat without the side thingy so idk if theres the side thingy(basically the circle round the hat) ugc or its just the purple gem itself.
As a personal buyer of these fake limiteds I don’t buy them to flex on people I actually just like how they look when combined with certain outfit pieces and any time someone is like wow is it real?! I just tell ‘em it ugc and I like making outfits. I work 2 minimum wage job ofc I don’t have enough money to buy a real sparkle time😂
I can get behind kids just wanting to wear their favourite items, but still sucks for people like me though, who was once a kid, but worked hard as a game dev to buy their favourite item, just to have it devalued a few years later due to fakes. Kids will have to learn that that's just how the real world works too - if you can't afford something, you can't have it. That's not to say you'll never have it, but you just have to work hard for it.
Imo let us be able to refund the expensive items and just let it happen cause in reality these items aren't worth it but we boughg it cause we either had the money or it was are dream item example: headless Im rlly saying this cause I regret getting headless lol and also because you can get it for free but this would Be a very good Idea and Ill actually be able to spend that 31k robux on something actual good
You know they are copies and stuff but it’s safes money I get it if your a trader it’s different but I don’t really care about people wearing them it’s just a game and yea but still.
@@degenerateinthecloset would you be mad if you spent 1m robux or 31k or 50k on an item just for something that's fake but looks so identical to the real one and it's just 4 dollars or 10?
@@Izorq-No I won't spend that much money on a children game I Mature enough I encourage people to not waste money on roblox Because as soon yo become an adult like me you will stop playing the game
