Hello devs. I've been with you since beta and it has been a very long satisfying journey. I do have one request. I'm on disability and spend a good deal of time playing this game. I don't have much of an ability to make any significant difference in this world anymore and I would like to change that, and I would like everyone else to have that same ability.
Star trek has always been human centric, and the vision of the future has always been one of helping those in need. I would like it very much if someone at Cryptic/PWE/anyone could be persuaded to add a feature to the game. A project (similar to the reputation system projects) that players could devote Zen towards that would go to some charity in the world. Feeding starving children, helping the homeless, the Humane Society, planting some trees... I don't care, just something. 1 Zen = 1 penny or something to that effect. I don't care if there is an in game reward for doing so.
I realize that this may be sightly counterproductive to the bottom line in this world of putting profit before all... but in the end, I hope one day there are opportunities to contribute to the future of this planet in the most unlikely of places... after all, there's no shortage of need in this world.
