    Hey buds I know this gets asked alot, but this is something that has to be done, I understand that someone should have the full rights to a gamertag and I feel like the account owner should have the rights to a gamertag if it was atleast migrated to the
    x360, many people dont know this but original xbox accounts are no longer migratable, so if i owned the email to one of these tags and if i tried to go on xbox.com with that email it would give me a random generated tag since in 2010 they shut down the original
    xbox servers and they dont have to delete the windows live ids but just the gamertag as the people who own them cannot even access it anymore if you are aware of that, and I understand account sellers could be a problem thats why they shouldnt release it to
    the public and you should have to ask support if they are recycling tags, some of the emails on the account are still active but that really doesnt matter as they have actually lost their chance to redeem their account since original xbox servers are down
    and the tags literally just float in space well just trying to get that out there thanks.

    :)

    Hello MintTree8309504,

    You are correct, this has been brought up before. However, the problem with this Is that in order to get a Gamertag you must have it linked to Xbox Live. Now you are required to uses a Microsoft Account. With the Gmaertag that's what has all their information
    and any extra things. Right now the Enforcement Team is the only people who can change the Gamertags. The Enforcement Team most likely will not take someone's gamertag away and give them a Generated one. Also, your correct most of the people picked a Gamertag
    that they liked. Even though they don't or may not use it often. With a Gamertag that is the main thing that represents who you are on Xbox and its services. People use it as a personal thing too. I do understand what perspective you're coming from. Xbox Live
    will not do that anytime soon. Plus, a lot of Gamertags are reserved for reasons. Keep the good idea coming to help build and improve Xbox & its services. If you have any more questions and or concerns please let us know!

    Thank you!

  5. Hello,

    Also just to add! Most of the good Gamertags that you may see have been paid for or used their one free change. Microsoft would need to refund people if they took their gamertag away too! At that point that would cause a extreme problems as well legal problems.
    Since Microsoft does not give re-funds back for Gamertags. I hope you have a great day!

    Thank you!

    Gamertag Recycling Question "Relic"

    Is Gamertag Recycling a random process that goes daily, or they just recycle a bunch of gamertags on a specific date?

    Recycling gamertags

    I searched for the gamertag i wanted every which way. It was not due to spaces or anything like that. I already know that doing that doesn’t make it unique. I’ve been an Xbox gamer for a very long time. But thanks anyway

    Recycling gamertags

    The system doesn't see things like spaces as making a gamertag unique. So usually that means you're searching for "gamertag" which won't show up, but the tag may actually be in use as "gamer tag".

    Recycling gamertags

    The gamertag I wanted says it’s already in use, so i had to choose another version of it. However, When I searched the gamertag to see who has it, nothing came up. Said there was no match. So what does that mean? Is it just that whoever owns it doesn’t
    actually have an xbox live account, just a microsoft account or something?
