Surely her word could be trusted, and none of them were fools. I also find it hard to believe that they couldn't have figured out the cause and tried to stop it since we were in Elpis for about 5 minutes and we magically found the solution, especially with everything they had at their disposal. So yeah, she is meant to be viewed as a hero. Honestly though, what she did was either ignorant or villainous, if not a little bit of both. There are other ways in which the future could have been secured, even in an MMO setting where things are meant to remain fairly static.
Well, you say "surely her word..." when you have no evidence for that. Where does the "surely" cone from?. All we know is that Venta, the former Azem, the member of the convocation that walked the whole star and is much more in touch with what is happening then everyone else, decided that the ancients could not overcome Meteion. Maybe she was wrong but we have no evidence for that except for wishful thinking. After all, Emet's first reaction to finding out the truth was to reject it.
