With Sodsob I followed and watched him and prepped him into the trap. I didn't log out, have my buddies scout my targets, then log in and run directly to them.
Here is my problem. I either have to assume Shaapa is just plain stupid or assume Shaapa is an intelligent player and is just being an internetizes plausible deniability troll boy. Here is why.
If he is stupid. That means he doesn't realize the benefit of disappearing and logging out and back in 5 to 10 minutes later. He doesn't understand that by leaving as an enemy, his enemies, especially if there are not many other enemies of theirs, are going to go back to raiding/retrieving where they wouldn't before/ranking and letting their guard down a bit. The fact that he self admits that this isn't a benefit means I'm leaning toward stupid. But the fact is he has done this in the past and continued to do it all the way up to Umiron probably getting into his business. He would log out 4 to 6 times an hour.
If he is an intelligent player. He knows the benefit, is exploiting it, and is right now playing the "I'm stupid" card. Which is funny because I would rather be seen as intelligent than stupid, but he wants to hide behind that thats fine. As a player for so long he should know this benefit and seen, firsthand, how effective it is.
So which is it? Is Shaapa stupid or intelligent and just being a trollhead?
As for you, I just had to laugh at this. Nice pro tip. I don't understand how a somewhat objective player has turned so dumb. I guess you are either stupid or intelligent and being a trollhead. Please pick.
