Hot take: Sniping is actually completely okay and you should not be mad at Ramar (and a couple other snipers).
I am not a sniper on his level, but I did bot a lot of sales back in the day, even though I am of course an amateur. I also participated in big Solana outage in 2022 (I was running a bot that was responsible for that).
Snipers are inevitable in any FCFS sale which is hyped. You either introduce super-draconian measures (like proprietary accounts, KYC, ratelimits (although we would easily deal with that), or just do a a raffle or a oversubscription.
A new sale is a fair thing here, but that only happened because how ridiculously easy it was to bot apparently (on NFT mins a whole bot communities were proud to get 10% of supply, one guy got like 15% here).
Developers should do a better job if they want a FCFS mint/sale or go with a different model.
