@DEATHLOK242 could you imagine the class action cases they would have to deal with if they merged your accounts but not your purchased content, ie deleted some your paid for skins or BP content. At the very least they will have to merge skins, badges, accolades, etc to avoid a serious issue.
Essentially when you bought a skin you entered into a contract with ea. They cannot unilaterally withdraw from that contract.
Imo the will have to have "the great merge" which will allow a player to merge multiple accounts and merge the content of those accounts,. In fairness though they should only allow the level of the new account to be the highest level account old account.
I also do not see how they can merge accounts without the owners explicit permission, so it may be an option to just continue as is unless you choose to merge.
Their rule on smurfing allows at least one other account, so they cannot change that now.
@OldTreeCreeperThey've said that merging is not going to happen as merging is too complex a task. Plus think about people that doubled up on free packs. A person with two level 500 accounts would have recieved twice the packs as the person with one account. They aren't taking anything away from anyone by not merging. People made multiple accounts and spent money on those accounts by choice. Those same people could keep going with both accounts.
All that will happen is each account will have a cross platform number like warzone. You will be free to log in with each account on any platform.
@hayhor that's why I mentioned by choice in my post 😃
I'm not sure it matters about the 2 level 500 packs as the pack contents are already owned by the player, so just no duplicates when merging, and it's not as if the player played both accounts at the same time and the option to spend time playing on 2 accounts, rather than one, is open to every player without fear of a penalty.
