Hello!
I'd like to dedicate this thread to discussing the controversy of the Traveller, or rather, people's opinions on the Traveller. Obviously this is a hot topic among the community, but with no simple answer. You cant just say "The Traveller is secretly evil!" or "No way dude!" and be done with it -- I believe that Bungie has provided us enough legitimate information to consider many sides.
So what do you think? What's the Traveller's end-game? Does the Traveller represents a positive, negative, or neutral force?
What do you believe, and most importantly [b]why?[/b] Explanation is critical -- otherwise all you are doing is spouting an opinion with no real foundation. Bonus points for using actual evidence ;)
I encourage you to consider what we know from in-lore Guardian's who have in one way or another rejected the Traveller -- were talking Toland, Eris, Dredgen, Osiris, all that good stuff.
I plan on reviewing the claims made by anti-Traveller-ers, and producing counterarguments to support a short paper I'm developing on this topic :D
Thank you, and fair winds,
Parallax

I'm going to answer this post with a post https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/222470566/0/0 I believe both the Light and Darkness want nothing more than to do what they believe is right, but the Light/Traveler believe that means letting all life flourish while the Darkness believes it means letting only those that don't die flourish The Traveler does its best to be what most beings would call positive or good, while the Darkness does its best to be what we would call negative to a positive result This argument is the debate between wether or not perfection can be achieved by shared prosperity or by reaching the Final Shape
