I'm making a TC reformatting extension and I want to make the submit postback not change/refresh the page. I noticed that the __VIEWSTATE argument is over 8 kb and the __EVENTVALIDATION is another couple hundred characters. Why does this have to be so over-complicated?

I'm not sure you should bother. Every time the UI changes, I have to get used to a new format, and that slows me down a bit.

That reminds me, I have to share this story.

They fixed it now, but the current design once had a pretty bad bug.

On limited order trades, if you entered a number into the "want" field, and then enter a number into the "give" field, the "want" field is set to 1.

I lost over 1000 tickets due to that, which was pretty much all I had. I've only recovered about a fifth of it so far.

The Unwise Wizard of Scripters has spoken.

I've been able to make 2-50 tix over the span of ~10 seconds whenever the spread goes negative. I just made it so clicking an offer accepts it, but it refreshes the page whenever it submits a trade and that's irritating. I just developed it in like 5 minutes, I don't care if the format changes again.

Is there a web API for the tix/R$ trade histories? I want to balance the offset in how everything adds up to see if/what I've earned since it came out in 2008, and to do this I need to add everything up. There are about 500 pages of exchanges, so it isn't something I will do myself.

I found the web API to load the currency exchange page data and now I've run into the same __VIEWSTATE mumbo-jumbo.

5 years of code bloat and poor design choices really snowball, huh? I wonder if they've ever really checked how much data is sent in a single request to the site.

They need a more synchronized web team. Celery and Meranok were probably the closest they've ever had. I'll just need to navigate the pages manually and have a program do all the math; this clearly is absolutely impractical.

I modified the next page button so the bot clicked on it for me and I've found what I've exchanged.

+458894 robux
-2647428 tix

5.7691 ratio. not bad. If I balanced it out today (which I can't because I don't have half a million robux) then I would have profited 1,941,512 tix, or about 200k robux.

cool.

Roblox posts {"robuxToTrade":"20000"} to /Marketplace/EconomyServices.asmx/GetEstimatedTradeReturnForRobux and {"ticketsToTrade":"20000"} to /Marketplace/EconomyServices.asmx/GetEstimatedTradeReturnForTickets, but when I try to $.post(url,{type,amount},success) it just throws an internal server error. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong about this?

Because ROBLOX is using ASP.NET Postback which is stupid, they over complicate stuff.

Yes, we all know that Roblox likes to over-complicate stuff and the web team is stupid. Apparently nobody is able or going to solve this, so never mind.
