Many Roblox fans have recently taken to social media to criticize the game's latest event. Called The Hunt: First Edition, the new Roblox happening has so far attracted criticism for everything from its steep progression curve to rewards, among other things.
Following a number of hyped developer teasers, some fans had been expecting that March 15 was going to be a big day for Roblox. That's in no small part because of the widespread theories that Roblox Corporation is bringing back the Egg Hunt, a popular annual event featuring opportunities to grab many exceedingly rare items, which has been replaced by Metaverse Champions in 2021.
While the game did end up introducing a conceptually similar event in the form of The Hunt: First Edition, the promo has so far predominantly attracted backlash from the Roblox players who were invested enough to share their thoughts on it online. Specifically, many fans have criticized the event's lackluster selection of rewards, especially relative to the requirements for unlocking them. Having to collect 95 badges for just a handful of rewards has been labeled as one of the steepest progression curves Roblox has ever done by some players.
Given that state of affairs, a vocal section of the fandom is now asserting that the developers have no respect for their time, arguing that grinding has nothing to do with why tens of millions of people keep returning to Roblox on a regular basis. Meanwhile, others have taken aim at the actual games featured in The Hunt: First Edition, stating that the event would have been much more palatable if it at least included popular and highly replayable experiences such as Tower of Hell and Flee the Facility.
Aside from its rewards and time-consuming progression curve, some fans have also lambasted The Hunt: First Edition's limited-time item sales. A lot of the ongoing barrage of criticism is aimed at the Vault Swordpack, which just reached the in-game shop with a 36,000 Robux price tag. Even using the most generous Robux exchange rate that is only applicable to the $199.99 pack containing 22,500 Robux, the price of this back accessory still comes out to nearly $320.
The Korblox Deathwalker avatar that debuted on the first day of the event has received similar fan criticism for its 29,000 Robux price tag, which is the equivalent of $257 for those who buy the in-game currency in $200 increments. Roblox Corporation is unlikely to chime in on any of the ongoing backlash, as it's not in the habit of highlighting any negative fan sentiments about its hit game by responding to player criticism.

The Elder Scrolls Online is the elephant in the room where discussions of The Elder Scrolls 6 are concerned, though calling it an elephant is obviously missing the opportunity for a banger lore joke – “dragon”, perhaps, or even “Numidium”?
