   I never understood why there was a need to mix numbers instead of letters in usernames.

      You mean that’s intentional? Wow. I always thought they just rolled their face over the controller a few times.

      Perhaps because xX_tehPwnzorz69_Xx was already taken

   It is kind of sad that a majority of players don’t take the opportunity to create an original gamertag and instead just illiterate the hell out of one. Oh well, we are dealing with a LOT of fifteen-year-olds.

      15? But I’ve never see those types over 12.

      With millions of people in the same namespace its VERY difficult to come up with something original. I have plenty of names I perceived to be unique when I joined, but were already taken. This was a few years ago too, certainly now you’d have to add padding to the name you want to get it.

         I hate how they assume 12-15 year olds make all these names, I’m 15 and my Gamer Tag is only 5 letters in a certain passage

         It’s my initials and it sounds good, please don’t assume ALL Teenagers are unoriginal brats.

   I can hardly bring myself to play online these days. Even seeing certain gamer tag combinations makes my irritated. As elitist as it sounds (so much so that I hate that I have even thought about it tbh) I would love some kind of premium service that got rid of the dickheads. I know that’s kinda what a friends list is for, but often my friends don’t want to play the same games I do. Jumping into random matches without being called n***** and c***, or worse having my mother called such things, every five minutes would be nice for a change.

      There is the option to report people for trash talk

         Done that plenty of times. Nothing ever seems to be done about it.

         And btw I don’t mind a good trash talk – that’s all fun and games. Got called Anne Frank once for camping in the attic – hilarious. The racist, homophobic, offensive bile that gets spewed without fear or favour is what I object to.

            The reporting is fairly useless I agree, probably a combination of the “if you can’t hack it then leave” attitude and the false positives, I’ve been reported for trash talk several times despite the fact I never use my microphone so unless the 360 can read minds…

   I signed up for Live with the 360 in 2007. Played the crap out of Gears 1 and Halo 3, but now I use it mostly for online co op (but MW3 is bringing me back into the swing of things).

   I’ve been on live since it was made available in Australia nearly 8 years ago, back when the community was small and everyone knew everyone. I was lucky and got my gamertag first try (Side Effect). It must be hard these days since there are 35 million gamertags already taken.

   I’ve had my 360 for over a year now. Still haven’t even connected it to the network, let alone a Live account. Not sure if I even will at this point.

   I started on live about a year ago, I like to play Reach and gears 3 online, but after a couple of games I went and muted all voice chat. Much better.

   I got my tag (same as my name here) because the O’s are actually Zeroes

    I thought this was pointing out there’s a lot of spam accounts
