    I joined roblox in 2016 and it felt more fun to play then now. I might play roblox once a week because there are not that many fun games and if their are they get updated very rarely or have few players. For me when I started roblox up until now I have not really encountered online daters which I guess is good

    Man, i don't really care about the toxic people or bad mods, i just enjoy my time playing roblox as it should be :)

    I joined in 2019 so I’m not exactly an old Roblox player however when I was younger I played a game called Wizard101 and some members of its community also have a lot of nostalgia blindness. I found the nostalgia blindness there to be pretty dumb and thus am probably a little biased against nostalgia blindness is general. However I just don’t think that calling Modern Roblox toxic is going to help with anything. Toxicity has always existed. It doesn’t matter if you personally weren’t toxic because that’s just you(and sometimes people were but just won’t admit it) and that doesn’t discount others being toxic. That being said yes the company that made Wizard101 has gotten worse just like Roblox’s company. Companies tend to do that.
  • people can think im not an old player (Current Acc made 2022) but i still have the password to my oldest account (2016) and I need to check on Clone Tycoon 2

    I had joined as a guest in 2015 and i had more fun back then than now the new roblox is making decisions that are slowly killing itself they are allowing games for online dating even though its a kids game and the kids with mommys credit card are making the game worse by being spoiled toxic brats back then old roblox was actually fun and i would play for hours and now i bearly play it for what it has become

    Not gonna lie, i unironically hate button tycoons, which were everywhere on old roblox with few non-button tycoons, and sadly it hasnt really changed.
  • I quit roblox because the game kinda sucks now and it got boring I miss the old days but I’ve moved on from roblox and I’m focusing on the future now

    I consider old roblox 2006 - 2020, roblox cared more for the community and there wasnt as much toxicity as there is now. Old roblox had actually good events that werent only sponsers (sorry if i got that wrong) but the ones in old roblox were good like ready player two (that was in 2021 i think but its the last good event.) And slenders are WAY WORSE then you think. Look at meepcity parties cuz there is horrible stuff in them that would get me banned. Im from 2014 and it was way diffrent, simpler, just people having a good time.

  • @wetcement43
