Merging two accounts on the same platform
I am wondering if in season 19 account merging will not only merge the accounts linked to the same EA account but, the accounts that are on the same console as well.

Will most likely be the case, though of course I can't confirm that yet.
They will be merging accounts in waves, so if any issues are spotted, they'll have time to fix it and the amount of accounts affected will be lower.
Respawn has been taking the safe route with cross progression as far I'm aware, since they didn't want to push it out unless they were 100% convinced it wouldn't cause any data loss.
@XHelperZ Within the first 48 hours of S19, a few players ended up with their accounts fully reset back to level 1 with all their cosmetics and stats being lost.
I would say I called it, but honestly it wasn't that hard to predict considering how past updates have gone.
No idea why accounts weren't just copied over to a test server and have them merged on that for testing. If it worked, cool, if not, delay cross-progression a bit longer.
Its a big update, so I didn't expect it to be perfect, but having it reset several accounts? That's no good.
