We all have changes we'd love to make to the Xbox ecosystem, whether that be quality of life improvements or new features. Over the past year, many Xbox fans requested these to the Xbox Insider team on Reddit, and it's been revealed that a change to the gamertag system was surprisingly the most common request.
Throughout 2020, fans collected data over what they'd like to see changed on their Xbox system. Every week the top three results were highlighted, and that data has now been rounded together. The most popular result was that fans wanted to see gamertags changed back to the original limit of 15 characters, rather than 12.
"When Xbox 'updated' the gamertag system a few months ago, they not only completely ripped off of Discord’s Username System, but they decreased our gamertag limit from 15 to 12. This was a huge downgrade if anything, not an upgrade, please fix it, the community has been asking for it to return to how it was or at least be fixed back to 15 characters for many months."
Other popular requested features also included patch notes for updates, and the ability to have individual chat sliders in party chat - something which was eventually added later in the year. Check out the full list above!

I don’t see why people want longer gamertags, it would just be a load of the nonsense tags like

What I'd like to see is a change to the achievement system as it's been the same since Xbox 360. I think it would be good if they added there equivalent of the Platinum Trophy on PlayStation but in there own way for Xbox. An Achievement or something for getting all the base game achievements. They never seem to add or change anything achievement wise.
My most desired feature is being able to delete achievements.
Hate it when I try a game I don't enjoy not plan to finish, but there are easy-to-get achievements at the start of the game, and it drives me crazy that that stay there forever.
@Snake_V5 I don't think platinum are that great, all they do is annoy me when I find a game where only one achievement is impossible to get, be it due to bugs, online requirements, or ridiculous difficulty.
Instead I would just like to see a revamp of gamer score. Make gamerscore a fluid thing, instead of the full addition of your achievement scores, make make the score based on the rarity.
Like a very common achievement = 1x GS.
An Ultra Rare, maybe counts for 2.x
And should rarity change, because more learned how easy it was to get it, then tweak the score.
Another thing I would like are rewards. Right now we do get some wallpapers, on Xbox One games. Maybe achievements should have icons that can be used as gamer tag icons once unlocked, or t-shirt/hat designs for those Mii rippof avatars.
