Arguments and Discussion Regarding the Traveller

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

    The Traveler reminds me of the story of prometheus (not sure if I spelled that right) and how he stole fire from the gods and gave it to humanity. As punishment, he was chained to a rock and vultures ate at him every day. The traveler went around giving many civilizations golden ages of their own, but the darkness would constantly snuff those civilizations out as if they were not meant to have it in the first place. Sometimes I think the traveler isn't evil, but what if it came from a civilization that isn't for the advancement of any other civilization? What if the traveler is a Rouge agent of its kind? (especially since Xür said the traveler has a dark mirror) Forgive me if my lore is incorrect. Feel free to correct me.
