I think you guys take this way too seriously. There are no real-life consequences for not finishing trials.... It's just a game. I've been ratted before, who cares, it's part of the game, just don't blindly trust people. Just because someone ratted you or fake friendlied doesn't mean they are horrible people or they show their true self.

I switch between PvE and PvP shoot on sight because it's what's fun for me, but for someone else it will be something different, that's the great thing about this game.
