Greetings, Guardians!
As I logged in to play Destiny yesterday, I noticed my gamertag on the Xbone, FuriousMidgett, was changed to FluffyJoey and a random series of numbers. I reached out to Xbox support, who informed me that my gamertag was deemed offensive upon review, and that I could pay to change it to something else.
Now, aside from the fact that I see EXTREMELY offensive gamertags all over the place on Live, I find it hard to understand why they didn't just look at my real name and let it go! Midgett is on my Live ID, my Windows registration, and the credit card I renew my Gold account with! This seems like laziness on their part.
Their Twitter support just linked me to their policy page about gamertags and real names, which basically says I'm SOL. If I didn't have to pay them to change it to something else it wouldn't be a big deal.
*End Rant*
Any ideas on clever gamertags? Apparently I'm too offensive to the community by my very nature to come up with one myself. Haha!
*Edit* Hey we're trending! I really appreciate all the suggestions and feedback. It's nice to see the fun corner of the forum came out to play!
BTW A Bored Ninja is my new GT. I'm always looking for weekend help with PoE and ToO if anyone is interested!
*2nd Edit* Wow, over 400 replies! I'm amazed this caught on like it did. This has been quite entertaining. As far as all the PS4 suggestions go, I'd consider it if not for having to repurchase every game, movie, and accessory I have currently for Xbox. Plus, I just can't get used to that controller. It's a great platform though.
