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 highly doubt the traveler is evil, since that's what Destiny's original story line was going to entail before it got an entire narrative overhaul by Activison into what we have now. Given this info, I'd say it's pretty safe to assume the traveler has good intentions.
