Though, I still don't find the echo as a necessity to explain everything again. It sure would be an absolute way to prove it, but there were many other elements and witnesses to rely on.
It does feel she intended to avoid contact with them and possibly also went on the run, at least to find and gather her "trusted" people.
The thing is though that she probably shouldn't have been "on the run" to begin with if that was indeed the case. Everything we saw indicated that she was highly respected by her peers, though they did seem to think she was a little too worldly by their standards. Either way it wouldn't have been difficult to for her to make her case to the Convocation. It sort of comes down to SE writing themselves into a corner. If she had been able to change the course of their history, our characters and the world we know would cease to exist. Kinda hard to do that in an MMORPG when our characters and the game world sorta need to continue existing.
