Anyone remember the days when 1 robux was almost always equivalent to 10 tix?
Here is what happened.
1.)Roblox's output of items that cost tix and items that cost robux used to be fairly equivalent. As of late, more and more items have been produced that require robux and not a single tix costing item has been produced since the black valk as of 7/31/2013. (which to be honest, was a tix dump and a very half hearted effort to control the tix influx)
2.) Dev. Ex: This little feature that allows users to profit off their places runs on, you guessed it, ONLY ROBUX. People who no longer have use for tix because they've bought everything that accepts tix or just plain don't want those poorly made hats of roblox past Now have another reason to convert tix to robux via the exchange.
3.)No limit on how much you can trade on the exchange, No ceiling/floor on the exchange rates, No limit on how many orders you can place on the exchange.
Are you going to wait for 10 orders of 50k tix to pass through? I'm not, but I'm also not going to trade 22 tix for one lousy robux.
-------------------------------------------------------------
If you prefer, this can be summed up in 2 parts
1.) Over abundance of tix
2.) limited uses for those tix
You can imagine all the problems associated with these facts. |

Option 1: do away with tickets. Option 2: do away with robux. Option 3: Find a better way to absorb tix. |

| This is how the 20 tix started to equal 1 robux:People started to use their tix less ever since the price floor and started using more robux so the trade currency for robux increased. |

The price floor and user products have such little impact on the currency exchange that it wouldn't matter if they did sell as tix since:
1.) many of the community that sells clothes are low quality, and as such are undesirable
2.) The Pareto principle which states that 20% of the population hold 80% of the wealth. (Challenge me on this so I can laugh at you.)
This 20% COULD buy up all of the catalogue items, but more likely they will buy maybe no more than 12.
