Fee changing gamertag

Why is it a fee for changing gamertag more than once?

Children tends to change gamertag, nickname now and then. It's in there nature.

The fee is about 1/6 or 1/7 part of a new game. So if you change gamertag 6-7 times it's the cost of a new game. What is the motivation for that?

What is the justification behind charging to change your gamertag?

Free gamertag change was abuse so much in the past, hence a fee to prevent trolls changing GT every 6 seconds.

 

What do you think about the $8 price tag for a gamertag change? (Discussion)

I think its fair. The fee should cover the admin cost in changing your gamertag and serves as a barrier to stop people changing every few days or weeks.
