Hi Im Swat

Bungie fan forever. Here since 2008. old

Unless you have name changes left, you are stuck with that name. Bungie will not change your name by request, and nor will then give you another name change. Also, I'm 99% certain that using a Bungie Name to advertise something is against Bungie's ToS but that's just a guess. Only Bungie can say what does violate their policies. https://help.bungie.net/hc/en-us/articles/7648312251284-Bungie-Name-Guide

  • Even better then. Someone report my name as advertising so Bungie forces me to change it. I don't want it to have the TTV etc anymore anyways because I'm no longer streaming.

  • unfortunately if they reset it on you for whatever reason (including you filling out the privacy request form, if you wish to do so), you'll just have Guardian#{####} instead of being able to set it yourself. i do agree that we need more name changes, though - it should definitely be on a cooldown, instead of a token system. their mitigation systems are absolutely awful (just look at the in-game chat filters) and below the standard of almost every other major competitor in the industry. yet there's still always people on here defending it until they're blue in the face lol.

  • since it is not the actual url, it is not against the name policy. You will have to either change it yourself, if you havent used your 2nd name change that was granted to us a couple months ago, or live with it until Bungie allows more changes.

  • That's ridiculous. Other sites allow you to change after 60 or 90 days. Why doesn't Bungie? I just want my name to match Xbox which is the service I use to login. If you look at my connected services you can see they've all been changed.

    [quote]That's ridiculous. [/quote] No it's not. People keep using inappropriate names, so Bungie has to constantly step in and reset those names. If people didn't constantly use inappropriate names, then maybe we wouldn't be limited to only two name changes. Blame the community. [quote] Other sites allow you to change after 60 or 90 days. Why doesn't Bungie? [/quote] Every service is different. Just because other services have more frequent use of a feature doesn't mean every other service must do the same. Plus, nobody needs to constantly change their name. Pick a name and stick with it forever. No need to be constantly changing it. [quote] I just want my name to match Xbox which is the service I use to login[/quote] Then why didn't you when you entered in your Bungie Name? The system does tell you that you're limited in Bungie Name changes. [quote] If you look at my connected services you can see they've all been changed.[/quote] That's on you for constantly changing your name, not Bungie. [quote]Someone report my name as advertising so Bungie forces me to change it.[/quote] If your name is reported and then banned, it will be changed to the default 'Guardian' name. You will not be given another name change just because your name got banned.

  • So Bungie punishes the greater player base because they don't know how to ban certain words? Great company...

    [quote]So Bungie punishes the greater player base because they don't know how to ban certain words?[/quote] Offensive words and other terms are banned and added to a filter. Once a name is reported and Bungie security decides it violates their policies, it will be blocked from being used. We are limited to only two name changes for various reasons. Nothing wrong with Bungie's policies regarding this matter. [quote][/quote] In the future, make sure the name you enter is the one you want to use. Nobody needs to be constantly changing their name. Constantly changing your name is a great way to annoy people, as they have to remember who is who with every name change. Personally, I'm glad Bungie has very strict limits on name changes. Wish other platforms were the same. Fed up constantly seeing inappropriate names where.

  • People may change names in games for a variety of reasons as well. Nicknames, friend groups, maturity levels, etc., change as you get older. Players may change their names in games to reflect this. I honestly never saw a warning saying there would be no further name changes when I changed mine. As for inappropriate names, it's gaming, and comes with the territory. People get so offended these days over everything it's sad. They won't survive the old AIM chatrooms lol.
