I had a thought of the Destiny and its community's support for the victims of the Paris Terrorist attacks. I know Bungie has raise money in the past for those in need and that is very honorable.
What if someone at Bungie donated their time to create a shader or something else unrelated to ranking up your character and sold it through Tess Everis for something like $1. Maybe a shader or sparrow reflecting the colors of France. I would also hope Bungie could be sure that the money is going to a reputable charity for surviving victims or their families.
As a Dad's of Destiny clan member (meaning that I am a Dad) I couldn't imagine how devastating it would be to lose my innocent child in an act like this or if a child lost their parent in an act like this.
I am not an eloquent writer, and I don't want to get into politics, but I know there are many innocent victims that need to know they have support. I'm not sure the best way that that comes across, and is not always with Money, but as an American citizen I can't stand seeing innocent people die and everyone else left heartbroken, depressed and/or injured for the rest of their lives. I think any act of thoughtfulness from people they don't know will hopefully help their scars be a little less than what they could become.

Shut up about Paris in the Destiny forum. I'm not being apathetic. It sucks for Paris. I realize that. But having a bunch of 12 year olds (the destiny forums) suddenly think they have a degree in Global Affairs and Terrorism is getting absurd. //rant start Bungie isn't going to make a shader for Paris. How stupid are you? France is one of the top 5 most developed countries in the world with access to nuclear weaponry. They're one of the most economically stable countries right now so they don't need charity. You're a heartless bastard if you are trying to use this terrorism as a means to persuade Bungie to give you shit. Comparing France's good financial situation and a terror death toll of ~140 vs Nepal's thousands with an economically tanked country and destroyed atmosphere after a natural disaster? Moronic. Absolutely moronic of you people. I'm willing to bet half of you couldn't even spot France on a damn map. I'm willing to bet less than an eighth of you could spot Nepal on a map. Seriously. Sorry to those who know what they're talking about but a majority don't. I'm tired of seeing the clone wars of "Pray for Paris" in the Destiny forum and not Offtopic as well. //rant end
