I posted about it here. In short:

1. Gears are no longer updated.

2. Newer gears completely powercreep any of the older gears in that "set of broken OP gears" you were talking about. Compare 1000 damage energy balls that travel at 16 mph to explosion rays that can bypass health from 100 feet away. The metagame is composed of ~15-20 weapons out of the 2000 available weapons in the catalog since there is such a gigantic power gap.

3. The game itself getting disemboweled by some rando using a bot that can crash servers on a whim and is making dough by selling immunities to it.

All of this, because the dev was inactive and made a game based on catalog gear of all things.
In other words, it turned into 2B2T. I join Discord servers dedicated to it and people still surprisingly do 1v1s in that game. They use private servers of course, since normal servers are nigh-unplayable. Think the dudes also have to act as jannies in the case of exploiters since there isn't any active moderation or anticheat to stop someone from spawnkilling entire servers.

Oh man, this is nothing like the old days of "get the harpoon gun and delete the other players arms so they're completely helpless" fun.
Funny to see that the skullcracker from 2013 is still a used weapon.

Yeah, Skullcracker was actually updated by TakeoHonorable to work as it did pre-FE. Harpoon actually works as well in the game I believe. I think both of those weapons aren't even touched in the competitive scene where people try making the other leave the server.

Roblox is definitely going downhill fast in terms of the push for micro transactions and the advertising they allow. Some games now have pop up ads that suggest the player has a friend request from a famous person, and if they click it, it takes them to the game. I have quite a few friends with younger kids who have banned Roblox outright, especially after one of their daughters had her avi “gang raped” (in some game I had never heard of) and was really upset.

I'm thinking about doing a rewrite of the thread at the moment, since a lot of the info is related to the Roblox World War II community as an example of one of many autistic communities when it should be examples of several communities acting like spastic retards.

10 year-olds and old people fall for the same shit.

That’s my point, they KNOW most of their players are 8-13 years old. It’s predatory.

It’s predatory.

Of all of the things on that site to call "predatory", the ads are at the bottom of my list.

I feel you, but that stuff is also bad in my opinion. Two of my kids LOVE roblox and I now feel like I have to more heavily supervise one of them bc of this rubbish, plus several youtubers shilling that Roblox did nothing wrong (re the recent lawsuit). It markets itself as a kids game but it isn’t safe.

Welcome to the Internet!

Welcome to the Internet!

Yeah thanks brah.
Why are literal CHILDRENS GAMES so crazy now though? Everything was okay when I was a kid. Now everything is full of pedos and tranny stuff. Maybe if you are young you don’t know, but kids games used to be safe for kids.

Online kids games are the first places where child molesters/predators search. Gone are the days of them hiding in their stank as hell windowless vans handing out "free candy".

Even in those days they were on Usenet and AOL Instant Messenger and shit. Chris Hanson made his money catfishing people on sites like that for TV.

The internet is something you just shouldn't let children use much of.

When it comes to Roblox communities, I personally think restaurant RP zones are probably hands down the most cancerous. They're also the most fun to troll with zero remorse.
