I looks like 2 players have the same gamertag on xbox live, this is a strange bug in the bungie.net api.

Hi all, I have a user called Ziyco on the xbox network for destiny. They are a 32 Hunter / 31 Titan / 30 Warlock over at; [url]http://destinytracker.com/destiny/overview/xbox/ziyco[/url] and [url]http://www.destinydb.com/guardians/xbox/2305843009225984049-ziyco[/url] But they are a single 8 Warlock at; [url]http://destinystatus.com/xbl/Ziyco[/url] and [url]http://www.littlelight.link/xbox/Ziyco[/url] This is the only player I can find this bug on. What is going on, any ideas

  • I did some research and found several accounts in this state. Here is how it happens 1. User A with gamertag Ziyco plays Destiny, and his gamertag is stored in our DB. 2. User A changes his gamertag to something else, but never returns the play Destiny 3. User B changes his gamertag to Ziyco and plays Destiny 4. Now we have two Ziycos in our DB. I have filed a but to fix search so that only the most recent Ziyco is returned rather than the oldest.

        Turns out that if you access this username via the bungie users endpoint it works, but not with the destiny user endpoint. Does anyone know why 2 accounts on https://www.bungie.net/ of type 1 (XboxLive) are allowed to have the same username? https://www.bungie.net/en/Profile/1/4611686018446746696 https://www.bungie.net/en/Profile/1/4611686018433349139 Both are 'Ziyco'. This has huge implications for the reliability of username based searches for Destiny websites and apps. Both have associated Xbox live accounts but the lvl 8 Warlock seems to be a bug, either a Bungie test account with the same name or an old sample from the players account. Really can't figure this one out.
