I understand that the majority of the story and in game lore still needs to be fleshed out but what are all these people doing? The speaker, osiris, the awoken the guardians (before you were resurrected) Is everyone just sitting on they're arse waiting for the darkness and the bad guys? Is anyone doing anything?!?!

People are doing lots of shit, it's just your Guardian (for whatever reason) is involved in even more shit. You're the one who chose to listen to Eris when no one else did. You're the one who agreed to hunt the Wolves.
