ROBLOX didn't start getting bad for me until they really started pushing the BC bullstuff in 2010 and onward.
I have written about fifty "I'm leaving, this game sucks, the community sucks and the admins can go forget themselves" essays and posted all of them to the forums. They're like here in that they'll say I'll be back tomorrow, but they're about 1000 times more pretentious and cliched about it. Yet we're the trolling starfishs.
The difference between then and now is that ROBLOX's meddling is actually affecting the games being made. I remember when games on ROBLOX were things you explore and fight random people in. Kind of like Joshosh's Area 51, except thousands of these things existed, all on the front page at one point or another. ROBLOX was actually about discovering things with your friends and experiences. You know, what it claims to be now?
Modern ROBLOX is a stuffshow. It's the worst example of what triple-A video game publishers do on display on a relatively small platform. Sure, back then there were VIP shirts, but most were available for a good amount of TIX. Nowadays, if you don't have money, you basically don't play the game. ROBLOX has given up trying to refine and develop its own website and has instead relegated it to the five or ten developers who make all the bank. That, and you'll see them fight over which copy of GMod Murder is the best. ROBLOX back then was vain and gimmicky, but at least it didn't try to rip off other loving properties.
That and the community has dropped in age a good loving amount of years. Back then, all this ODing stuff didn't exist, and as far as I can tell, it didn't even happen, otherwise I would have known about it. Now you see about five games basically encouraging it on the front page. Back then, people gave decent suggestions about how to make ROBLOX better on the Suggestions forums. Now, the board is basically 4chan minus the humor or the unique intellect. People will either spam the board with "lol ban all mondays ggggggggggggg" or demand that everyone who wants TIX back shut the forget up. You had people defend ROBLOX's every action back in 2008, but they were nowhere near as loving pretentious and cuck-worthy as they are now. Back then, war clans would raid each other and stick it out as they didn't have weapons but the defenders did, and they still loving won. I should know; my friend and I beat John's Cobras with gear when they had insta-kill AKs. Now, you have all these manchildren trying to turn it into an e-sport and citing "oooh you can't break the rules you gotta be faiiiiiiiiiiiiirr". Did you know that if you successfully defend your base, you can't even call it a victory anymore? I don't even participate in clan activity anymore. Their attempts to be welcoming and accepting to everyone have (somehow) turned me off. Reminds me of a certain political atmosphere.
It has gotten to the point where I only play four games anymore (Strife, Armoured Patrol, Blood and Iron, and Phantom Forces). Everything else is toxic.
