Get rid of account merge deadline or shorten the waiting period to unconnect.

@XHelperZ You're correct that security doesn't exist to be bypassed but there always is a way, this issue is an easy fix for a company willing to do it. However, it's much more profitable to let the players affected by this restart all their progress because there will always be those people buying skins to either replace or substitute what they lost.
EA called this a "full cross-progression" but you say you could never merge existing accounts? Epic merged my two existing accounts for Fortnite, Blizzard merged my two existing accounts for overwatch, and Ubisoft for R6 I was able to merge my two very old existing accounts, you cannot call this a full cross-progression when it's the worst we've seen from any company-developer. The worst part is the massive silencing of people with the same issue on social media, any posts about the subject on multiple platforms are deleted quickly (tested it myself) and we are redirected to either EA support or here where we are told by community managers to contact support.
