The normal members sure, but the higher-ups definitely have more intellect. Morte was an unpredictable fighter and knew PvP inside and out, down to the precise time to start a fight and where he should position himself to bring his enemies into a trap, as well as manipulating the two biggest guilds at the time (The Aincrad Liberation Squad and the Dragon Knights Brigade). Johnny Black and Red-Eyed XaXa planned an intricate plot during the GGO incident. PoH, the leader of Laughing Coffin, managed to convince a large majority of players in SAO to come to his side and manipulate all the players of Aincrad for over a year simply through his intellect alone.

Hell, even some of the normal members were shown to use manipulative tricks to lead players into a false sense of security to kill them, masterful stealth and stealing techniques, knowing precisely when to escape using smoke bombs, and just in-general being creative with their kills compared to simply "stabby stabby I'm crazy".
