Oops! Bungie accidentally changed the names of a 'high number' of Destiny 2 players, says a fix 'will take some time' to figure out

Bungie has good news and bad news for Destiny 2 players: The good news is that the studio has figured out what caused a "high number" of player names to be randomly changed by its automated moderation tool, but the bad news is that it's going to take a while to fix.

The problem first came to light when players began reporting that their names had been changed for no apparent reason. Bungie will do that to player names that violate its naming policies: Names are run through a "character filtration and offensive term moderation system," and any that are found to break the rules "will be changed to 'Guardian[Random Number]'."
