Translating an old audit report until 2 a.m., the more I read, the more I want to laugh: everyone is arguing every day about "on-chain fairness," but the group that actually cuts in line doesn't care whether you're fair or not; they only care if you are seen as a liquidity withdrawal machine. MEV, simply put, is about monetizing transaction ordering rights. The most obvious victims are not the whales, but the newcomers who click "confirm" while thinking the transaction price is similar to what they see on the interface—slippage gets eaten, sandwiches happen, and they lose money, still thinking they were just slow.



The same applies even more clearly to blockchain games: when the economy crashes, inflation plus studio-driven activity flood the on-chain transactions, and as the price spiral begins, users rush to sell or withdraw first, pushing gas fees higher and higher, with ordering auctions becoming crazier—eventually turning into "who can cut in line better gets to run first." Fairness is of course important, but don’t romanticize it; first, accept that "being cut in line" is the norm. Use limit orders instead of market orders when possible, reduce unnecessary transactions—this is the way to go for now.
