Raiding & Retrieval was significantly altered when you were around, and people's complete inability to prevent your flee/ko tactics made you scary even in the rare event they could initiate combat without first hitting your traps.

How would you have countered Flaaayin's tactics, beyond wearing your prep bag? I know in trying to retrieve against you, I was glowing, crippled, boneshattered, poisoned and impaled before I ever got to the giant--it was like coming out of a rough fight before the fight actually began.
