It's sad that you guys can't see the benefits from this. Minecraft would receive more players because we all know it's dying out, so it's a win for Minecraft AND a win for ROBLOX because they receive more players.
1: Minecraft isn't dying at all, It's just not at it's highest popularity.
2: Combining Minecraft and Roblox would make both of their community hate the game, and the companies would lose fans quick. To be honest, it would probably be a lose for both teams.
Well, tix doesnt exist anymore, so, the only way to get Robux is to:
Buy it.
Buy builders club.
Sell game passes.
Or make profit of off your friends buying robux.
So even more P2W. Great.

If you'd like to talk with me about other games, here are a few I play.
Team Fortress 2
Borderlands series (Borderlands 2 is my favorite game, ever. TPS combat is a lot of fun and makes up for the lower-quality story, in my opinion)
Elder Scrolls series
Warframe (IGN is something like That_One_Flesh_Atronach)
Pokémon series (HGSS forever)
Rocket League
Fallout series
Left 4 Dead 2 (Boomer files always corrupt though)
SUPERHOT (SUPERHOT is the most innovative shooter I've played in years!)
Dead Rising series (Dead Rising 2 is one of my favorite games, and the 3rd was a lot of fun. 1st has poor survivor AI and the 4th is bad)
Just Cause series
Come to think of it, I mainly play fighting-based games.
IMO the challenge of this thread is whether the discussion is about merging game features or merging the business models for the respective games. The business model for Minecraft is fundamentally different from Roblox so it is not even worth considering merging business models. I haven't really seen anything about game specific features that could be shared that are viable. As others have pointed out the P2W features of Roblox are non-starts for Minecraft because it conflicts with Minecrafts business model and rules.
Support this means that minecraft will support minigames feature and other interesting clothing feature. Also wing costume!!! who hates wing?
Minecraft is already full of minigame servers. And the clothing items thing doesn't make sense because Minecraft skins are all about 100% personal and 100% free customization, not purchasing parts to change how it looks. And the I hate the wings.

There is no reason to merge two games just for this. we already have minigame servers and maybe you could add minigame features but there's no point making a new game just for that. We have skins, add 3D skins and you can get most of what roblox has. we have elytras, and all you would need is the ability to customize them and you have your wings.
Basically merging would be a waste of time, and if you really want these features you can just get them in a update.
Just a reminder people, accusing suggestion supporters of being alt accounts is considered troll-calling and is against the forum rules.
If someone has sufficient evidence that a sugg. supporter is indeed an alt (same personal information, same typing tendencies, logical fallacies) giving supports to their original account threads, do we report them? If yes, then do we pile up our evidence in that report, or do we simply report suspicions, and let the mods investigate themselves?

Console Battle is two games rolled into one: gambling (whether or not you get one of the OP weapons) and betting (which teammate won't turn on you, since teaming is pretty much a requirement to kill off another team)! Of course, it's not all chance; at its core, Battle is about triumphing and defeating other players... by kicking them out if they win to make yourself feel better.

I would say just report them and let the forum staff handle it. The forum staff have access to tools and information that the regular forum users can't see.
I have a couple things to say. One on-topic, the other sorta-on-topic.
1. These games COULD NOT succesfully merge; Minecraft is, at its core, a game about resource gathering, building, and monster hunting. Online, you can find minigames servers as well. There are also many user-created mods, some of which can ONLY exist due to the modding API not being officially supported. Roblox is a game about playing other people's games; It mostly consists of minigames, obbies, and tycoons, with the occasional well-built RPG or unique minigame. The game has no real driving goal, no "great achievement" to strive for.
2. I liken Roblox to a now-dead Xbox One/Windows 8+ game called Project Spark. The game had a few features - an unfinished episodical adventure, community-build games that could be made in a few hours using the customized coding language (deemed "kode"), and a choice-based game generator for those with less kode-know-how. In addition, EVERY SINGLE GAME on it could be cloned to your account and edited in kode, even the episodical, provided you had the required purchasable content. It sounded like a great game that could've been just as good if not better than Roblox, especially since the only paid feature was tokens used to purchase props, game save slots (you got 3 I think when you start), ect., but not for anything inside any user-created levels. Then the game went %100 free, and devs left. It died. If Minecraft merged with Roblox, this would KILL one audience, since you would either need to adopt the "paid features" model, which works well for online games as a source of constant revenue from frequent players, or the "paid game" model, which works better for singleplayer games since there is no server upkeep. Attempting to merge the two models would further kill the game because people will have to pay to get the game and then pay AGAIN to get certain features.
I just WISH that this was a good idea. I love both games with a passion. I co-own a Minecraft server with my friend, and I bought BC on ROBLOX.
However, the two just contrast WAY too much, both in design and business. It would also take time and effort, something a company like ROBLOX doesn't want to need to have. In the end, a company's goal is to make profit. Yes, yes, they want you guys to have fun (well, MOST of them), but they still want your wallet.
The OP did clarify that on post #29:

No. Roblox is P2W and Minecraft's EULA prohibits P2W aspects. No support.
Constantly evolving, reaching further heights.

Generalize much?
I support this, this, and this. And this now. Also this.
Support this means that minecraft will support minigames feature and other interesting clothing feature. Also wing costume!!! who hates wing?
Minecraft already has minigames... and what the heck is "wing"?
Got an unpopular opinion? Want to share it? You can post it right here! Just don't start flame wars and be nice!

Some
not sucky suggestion threads I made: Console Minigame: Ram Attack! - New Arrows!(quality)I would say just report them and let the forum staff handle it. The forum staff have access to tools and information that the regular forum users can't see.
