$PIXEL MEV: Am I the only one seeing players leak value?
Am I the only one who thinks games leak value to bots…… or have you seen it too…… 🤔 Every P2E I’ve watched follows the same pattern. Farms snipe quests, flip assets, dump rewards. Real players get leftovers.
To be completely honest…
I was digging through @PixelsOnline Stacked docs last night. At first I thought, well, another “anti-bot” buzzword. Same claim every project makes. But I stopped a little while thinking.
Old games reward clicks. Do 1000 clicks, get 1000 rewards. Bots are perfect at clicks. So bots win.
Stacked doesn’t reward clicks. It rewards timing. It only pays you if you were doing the right thing before the reward dropped. Bots are bad at faking history basically. Players aren’t.
That’s why “hundreds of millions of rewards” didn’t kill $PIXEL The rewards went to people playing, not people clicking.
But here’s my doubt… if the timing rules get too predictable, do farmers just build scripts for timing instead of clicks? Is that skill or exploit? The boundary is thin.
My take: You can fork the code. You can’t fork 2 years of player history. That’s the moat. Maybe Stacked captures bot value, maybe farmers adapt. Both possible.
So question: If timing gets predictable, do bots just script timing instead of clicks? Or is 2 years of PIXEL history really uncopyable?
