I also thought the lobbies between the two were already separated unless you invited a friend on a different platform to come play.
So long as I can still invite friends from other platforms to play with me I don't see a problem with separate lobbies, I'm not about to buy a pc for that.
Not sure, but I'm starting to get the feeling that mnk pc players are complaining about other pc players using controllers and not necessarily console players because of the above message to Asmodeus. I keep hearing how the lobbies are already separated (though I honestly doubt it)
That is not a separation. 90% of the games I play have console players in the PC lobby I am in and I would assume vs versa as well.
from your link:
How to enable Apex Legends crossplay
Crossplay is enabled by default in Apex Legends, so you won’t need to worry about fiddling with settings to play with friends online. However, Apex Legends crossplay will only kick in when you’re playing with a friend on a different platform. In other words, if you’re flying solo and you’re on PC, you’ll only be matched with players on PC to keep things fair.
I have played with friends all three of us PC players and we do play vs console players when you see the champ sqd listed you can see PC tower, PS/Xbox controller and then the PC tower again . From what I can tell that's two PC players and a console player. Same happens when I am Flying solo.

Of course you stop at the first paragraph. Keep reading
"When it comes to matchmaking, there’s a few rules to Apex Legends crossplay. If a party consists of only PC players, they’ll only be matched with PC players. The same is true for console players, who’ll only be matched with fellow console players.
In the event of mixed parties, matchmaking will always place them in lobbies with PC players"
So yes they are seperated, but when someone has a friend from another console on their team, they're getting put in PC lobbies.
I run solo pretty much all the time and the only icons I see are either Xbox or the TV with a controller.

@Asmodeus566So you'd make it so a console player cannot play with a PC friend? No thanks. I enjoy playing with PC people I know.
No that is not what I am really getting at here.
Crossplay should be a choice and players playing with crosplay enabled should be in only crossplay enabled lobbies.
PC players should be able to turn crossplay off on PC and should not have to play with Console players.
This would not be something hard for EA to do and would not cut into player experience and would then also settle the AA arguments etc as it would be a choice.
