| 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.

| 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? |

Do you mean you are making a Chrome extension?

| 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. |
