Does EVE:Valkyrie reward players for deceiving each other?

I've been reading about this game and wonder if you have to be involved in politics when playing the game or is this only for well-seasoned players? Is deception part of the main goal of the game or just a consequence of the game being a shooter? Could you have a more "peaceful" or passive approach? I have very supeficial knowledge of the game but for example in other MMORPGs some people focus on trading/crafting items.

I am mainly investigating this claim:

For example, the MMORPG EVE Online is known for fostering a style of play that involves manipulating and deceiving other players. The VR version of EVE Online, EVE: Valkyrie, has been described as “[u]ndoubtedly the most heavily anticipated virtual reality game.” Based on some of the empirical results surveyed above (see “Illusions of Embodiment and Their Lasting Effect”), there is cause for concern about behavioral patterns rewarded in immersive games such as EVE: Valkyrie having a lasting influence on the psychological profile of users.
