LOST everything due to apex cross progression

I only play on PC and don't have any console account, but I feel the need to voice my concern about EA's unlink/re-link behavior. I feel like it's insane that you would lose everything just because you unlinked and re-linked the same account after 5 minutes.

There was a big post on the Apex Legends reddit website that warned people to not unlink and link again because cross-progression was rolled out in waves and people thought maybe they would get the cross-progression pop-up if they re-linked their accounts.

Not sure if this bug post on Respawn's Trello board is related. But I do know that MANY people have done the same thing as the original poster, unlinking and re-linking again because they thought it would trigger the pop-up about cross-progression.

Sorry for long post, but I really hope it gets resolved for everyone. It has to be absolutely devastating to have all your stuff being seemingly permanently deleted.
