If I were capable of laughter you would hear it bellow from my various apertures.

343 Studios is responsible for statistics on their website.
you don't seem to understand what happened mate. Bungie was owned by Microsoft. In 2007 (I believe it was), Bungie made a deal with Microsoft to gain their independence. They wanted to be their own company. That would mean Microsoft couldn't tell them what to do (being the opposite of 'sellouts,' by the way) and could not shut them down. They would be employee owned. However, since Bungie created Halo while owned by Microsoft, Microsoft owned Halo. Thus when they split, Microsoft kept Halo.
Since Bungie was contracted to create two more Halo games (in the forms of ODST and Reach), they did so. After that, Bungie moved onto other projects and Microsoft created 343 Industries to manage the Halo universe. As of March 31st, 343 gained complete control of all things Halo. Statistics from the Halo games go to them now, therefore Bungie.net can't let you do things. How do you expect Bungie.net to let you change your nameplate if it can't even talk to the game anymore?
Bungie left Microsoft so it could do what it loves and not what it is told, contrary to your post. In addition? I think it's incredibly childish of you to say you wish a company to fail because you can't change a nameplate. I mean... really, dude? Come on. That's petty.
This, OP. Listen to this guy.
