Inevitable privacy issues
I pre-ordered Destiny and while I'm used to playing MMOs - be it PC or console, you usually get to choose a screenname.
I loaded up the character creation and before I knew it I was already ingame. I didn't think much of it at first until I reached the tower and saw my name which of course is my PSN name which is... My girlfriends real name.
I wasn't too concerned about it, mostly because I didn't even know if I would be playing this game or well, keep playing it.
Anyway, I now have around 40 hours into that guy and actually having fun doing Crucible UNTIL...
Randoms started harassing and stalking my gf on Facebook because "She must be this awesome female gamer that actually plays a guy character and is actually quite good looking too." These guys their wet dream is ruining my shit and her life at the moment.
Please note she is a public figure and she needs to be able to be found. Privacy settings on her end are no solution.
Also, the reason her name was used in the first place, is because we were filling in billing info etc to start downloading stuff from the PSN store.
I am new to multiplayer on console and never figured that w/e name was used back then would be used on games like these.
Obviously I haven't touched that account or brought it online anymore.
Playstation customer service is a joke.
And I'm afraid I might be too privileged if I were to get some help here or wouldn't I?
I don't care about trophies or my friend list or whatever. I'm just a casual player and 30 hours in my life are costly. This happening now, combined with the connection problems I was still experiencing every 20 mins - It would be swell to get some motivation to carry on.

2 RepliesMoaning about privacy issues but uses his GF real name. Can you see where you went wrong and how you have no one else but your self to blame?
-
3 RepliesTo add onto this, what's up with the hard-on demand for people to request PSN real names? Seriously, of the 200 people I have added at least 70 of them have sent me (several) requests to share my information.
-
It is common knowledge that PSN IDs are not private. You really brought this on yourself... :/
-
Xbox>ps Don't forget that
-
Make a New profile in your name?
-
If you use a real name as an online avatar you're both stupid and asking for a bad time.
-
3 RepliesYou're an idiot for using your GF's actual name on a public network with female deprived boys gaming with one hand and jerking it to your girls FB photos with the other another.
-
Shes being targeted by guys she talks 2 srry to break it to u
-
2 RepliesThats a bummer man, was like "Dafuq you use her name for i the first place?" then saw the account setup bit. There has to be a way to change your PSN name. I know on Xbox you pay ten bucks and can change your GamerTag, gotta be something similar on PSN.
-
1 ReplyYou made a mistake. Suck it up and create an ID for yourself and move on. Nothing else will happen so accept it no and move on.
-
1 ReplySo... why did you use your gf's name in the 1st place?? That's a self-inflicted privacy issue, dude.
-
Why don't you just change the PSN name or just create your own PSN and start over???
-
11 Repliesif your on playstation i think you can go into the settings and find the section that lets you show your real name to people through name requests. i believe there's an option to allow anyone to see this name with or without a name request. change that name to something else and allow it to be seen by everyone. i could be wrong but its worth a shot.
-
3 RepliesJust change it... I know on Xbox you can. Never had online service with my playstation but I'm guessing you can change your username...
-
2 Repliessorry to hear that buddy... I'm not sure what you expect bungie to do really though... this is something you should take up with sony customer service... maybe contact them and request an ID change? I'm sure that's been done before
-
5 RepliesWait. You have a girlfriend AND game? #MindBlown
-
9 RepliesI just posted my gfs real name where where my gaming alias should be instead. But it is Sonys fault! Your gt is visible in every online game you play, this has nothing to do with Destiny!
-
1 ReplyYou're not used to MMOs if you put an actual name linked to you as your psn In ffxiv I tries putting my last name with a bullshit first name and it denied it because it had " sensitive information"
-
2 RepliesEdited by elua35: 10/9/2014 8:50:51 AMIf you had an Xbox you could have just changed the gamertag 😔
-
5 RepliesWhy is this an issue? Buy a new account. If your gf life is being ruined (which makes no -blam!-ing sense) on facebook then spend the $50 and call it a day. Problem solved...
-
3 RepliesWait. Do we get the name of this women your blabbering about. If your not gonna put a name up, how do we know any of this is true? Your girlfriend is famous and you used her real name as a GT? Sorry but it sounds pretty far fetched.
-
2 Repliespsn accounts are free, block the creeps and get over it
-
2 RepliesMy troll gamertag playing halo 3 was xXMeganFoXXx.
-
7 RepliesJust create another user on the ps4 and play as that. As long as your gf account has plus you will still have access to online. Problem solved, you can thank me later.
-
10 RepliesSo, on the 360, if I pay a sum (-blam!- YOU M$!!!!) i can change my GT. Doesn't PS offer that same service?
