I think the most exciting thing the Traveler has done was scold Rhulk through a ghost. There has to be more to the Traveler then being just a set piece at the Tower.
It's archenemy is closing in...does the Traveler have a battle plan? It obviously can speak through ghosts...so why doesn't it more often? At the very least why hasn't the Speaker's Mask been repaired and utilized by someone. I'm sure Ikora could pull it off.
I hear Zavala going on about the Traveler constantly but it doesn't seem to be a participant in the story.
Come on Bungie, can the Traveler do something that proves that it's in this fight with us? Something unmistakable.

The fact that there are debates means Bungie has to flesh out the Traveler more than it has. There's just more questions than definitive answers. What do we know about the Traveler really...next to nothing in the grand scheme of things and I want to know more. Personally, I think there should be a new Speaker and a new, more advanced Speaker's Mask fabricated to help with such exposition. Mithrax, Eido, Saint-14...they could all be candidates. Pick whoever, as long as we start getting some cool story directly from the Traveler rather than the Witness who is a genocidal entity, who has no problem lying and manipulating. I hate that everything the Witness gives us has to be taken with a grain of salt. I need the other end of the spectrum. For example, what's the Traveler's version of the Winnower and the Gardener? There's always two sides to every story...always.
