"Players help shape the world"? (Destiny)

I remember in one of the earlier vidocs (it might have been the 20th anniversary doc they did), someone talked about how players would help to shape the world of their next game. People even speculated that that was literal, and people would be able to do stuff like build and share their own planets.

Now that the game's out... I'm not seeing it. Sure, we occupy the space. We fill the game world with life, but as far as helping to shape it, where does that come in? Is that why so much in this game is vague, because we're literally supposed to create the fiction ourselves to a certain extent? Or did Bungie just mean that we would populate the game, and just worded it much too grandiose?
