The reason you can't has to do with security - same reason why you can't change your Live ID on bungie.net.
Maybe at some point. I might also be able to bypass the security problem on changing names by allowing Bungie Pro users to change their bungie.net user names every so often. The Live ID issue is more tricky, because of several external factors.
With Bungie Pro gone, is there still any potential for this? Just letting us change it once every few years doesn't sound bad. I don't know how hard it is to implement this, but Achronos suggested it which means he must know how.
For a lot of members, how ridiculous our usernames is drives us insane. How does my username identify me as myself? It doesn't, maybe it did 3 1/2 years ago but definitely not now. Even if we're only given the option to change it ONCE, that would be all I could ask for, this way all those 13 year old kids that grew up don't have to cringe their toes anymore. I know some members love their username, and I wish I could say the same, but mine doesn't even seem decent, and I've just been sitting by waiting to hear I would be able to change it.
We're going into a new era of B.net, so why not start the era with fresh usernames, like we're starting over? Maybe let members change their username ONLY within the first week of the next B.net update?
Can we just get some clarification on what's going down on this subject? That quote is 3 years old...
