    Why not ust put a limit of how many times you can change your username? Seems better unlike having to pay which is very dumb

    Hello Dario,

    I understand your point, it does seem like a better way to handle it.

    The consensus is this is done for that reason (system abuse) and server costs.

    As we are all users as well, we can only guess.

    We do have a free one-time change, but after that, it is charged.

    Hi Dario, my name is Rodrigo. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

    I believe it's in place to prevent abuse, as in, multiple changes in a short period of time.

    On PSN you also have to pay.

    Okay forget this! Another question is why we need to pay to change our xbox gamertag?

    Very important for European customers with banned xbox one!

    And by the way enforcement team GT change counts as your free GT change and you have to pay 10 euros to change it that's why my name now is KindJoey because I stopped giving money to the people who robbed me!
