WoT is a first effective tool but, being potentially too restrictive, is not the final, perfect measure.
Even if you are introduced by someone this doesn't help if you want interact to with another group with whom you share no contacts.
Ideally you should pair WoT with other checks, like PoW, NIP+05 verification, content analysis, the account creation date (via OTS), and use them to increase a "real user" score value.
In addition clients should think the visualization as a spectrum, for example totally hiding events from abusive npubs (high post frequency, duplicated messages, etc), but merely compacting uncertain ones, so that the user can easily check and eventually whitelist them.
