    Having a unique gamertag is not really what people want. Having your own alias in game is what people want, and currently the only way of getting that is through the gamertag.

    Would it be possible to split these two things? The current gamertag is close, it generates a number and puts it on the end. So my gamertag Lythix#1428 is unique but it also shows the numbers in game.

    Hide those extra numbers and then everyone can have the name they want as well as give people unique id's, for managing who is on your friend list.

    It's unlikely you will see someone else in a game with the same display name and even if you do, give the player a way of checking the number part.

    Hope this makes it's way to the Xbox team.

    Thanks

    Lythix

    Interesting idea but I think it's easier for them to stick with the current system.

    The issue is that there are many gamertag already very similar when its popular such as obi wan....

    I personally dont like the new numbers thing, I think a unique tag should be that, but understand ms view and this gives a way to keep a unique ID but allow name to be same

    With your suggestion you could have several players on popular games using same name and yes you can click in maybe to differentiate but would you know which one team killed spawn camped etc?

    I'm one of the people that play games, and I do want the same gamertag across them all thanks. I totally understand that it isn't for everyone, but try not to claim that you speak for everyone.

    I entirely understand where you're coming from, but likewise... the numbers are there to differentiate: if another 'Lythix' but with a different number starts causing problems then the numbers are there to protect you from getting their negative behaviour
    attributed to you by mistake.

    Thanks for your Feedback! Be on the lookout, there might be another release of inactive gamertag's happening in the future, so you might get lucky and get the name you want :) Best of luck!
