You're effectively duplicating an 'existing thread'. Congratulations on being allowed to, really.
Well, that's never going to be a good idea if a full account transfer is later found to be possible and that messing about with fleet carriers is a waste of time and I think the OP knows that. We also don't know if it has to be a clean account or any other requirements, so that could even make things worse. Mainly though, I completely understand why someone would not want to spend their gaming time doing something FDev will eventually be able to do for them instead of playing the game.
Regardless, I would be doing nothing until FDev confirm what the process is, just in case.
@sixhashbrowns Thanks for the fleet carrier suggestion but its barely relevant to the topic
@TrollhunterX Thanks for the kind words but not really relevant.

There are likely in talk with Sony and Microsoft. That kind of talk are private. They are possibly also working on "behind the scene" nerdy stuff about databases. There are no news to be done.
"we are talking to the console company, while we work on database" every week get stale after a while.

Nothing is relevant in this thread.
We're all speculating here
Some are venting too
You have just assumed that, you don't know niether does anyone else. Do you know why we don't know and can only make assumptions? Because we have only been given extremely vague information. I'm just suggesting that it would be reasonable for Fdev to give us a more clear and unabiguous statement. If they are in talks with Sony they should say so. If they are working on the database they should ssay so. They have indicated that transfers are on hold but they haven't given us any indication what that means in terms of timescale. Why not say that they are aiming to resolve the question within X time? If X time comes and they haven't resolved it they could tell us what the problem is and open a discussion about what, we the players, want done, either extend or call it quits.
If you don't think this thread has any relevance why are you wasting your time and energy here?
I'm doing it perfectly knowing it is irrelevant.
Unlike others.
Edit: but i do have a mild interest in it since I have an XB account that i'd like to be maintained as it is - on console or by (full) transfer on PC
Because that's not the first time I've seen that kind of stuff happen, and I know what it entails.
Also, we had a bug once where someone transferred his account from console to pc (or the opposite). Which indicate it's clearly possible as is. The fact it's not already done indicate that there is something else being involved, and the only possible explanation is the console manufacturers themselves. Since that kind of talk are always about money, one way or another, then they can't talk about it publicly.
See, logic and experience. Valuable stuff.
"See replay to Northpin. Not a twice daily statement or even a twice weekly statement. Just a single statement that sets reasonable expectations. Further information could and should be provided as and when the original staement no longer holds true."
You had that from David Braben's original statement.
Frontier will not commit to anything until it's almost or more likely completely sorted.............given potential false hopes will only aggravate further it's irate console players.....be patient & wait!

You stated an outcome you would be happy with and I told you how to achieve that yourself.
That's 100% relevant to the topic. If it wasn't supposed to be then maybe you shouldn't have mentioned it in your opening post.
Well I think its a reasonable question and it appears that other Cmdr feel the same even if they don't agree with my point of view. I find it hard to understand why you would comment on something that you don't feel has any relevance to anything. Knowing (or believing) it to be irrelevant makes it less rational.I'm doing it perfectly knowing it is irrelevant.

Umm, no. "We don't want to go to the bother of doing this" is also possible, if very lame. Countless other possibilities too.
Really? You think they should just tell the world they are in talks with Sony about accounts and transfers, something that could possibly affect their share value? If it's anything legal, no-one is going to say anything until a decision is made. This isn't monopoly money you know!
@Dillon Fallon has already provided a really good answer to this so I don't have anything further to add other than to thank you for your contribution, dull as it was.You stated an outcome you would be happy with and I told you how to achieve that yourself.

There could be another simpler explanation.
a) That occurrence was indeed the result of a bug
b) they need to setup a process that is more or less automated and that can be initiated by support simply by flicking a checkbox and that is infallible (read it bug free)
I would expect (they too) that transfers would be by the tens of thousands.
There was also an official statement about putting transfer on hold while they try to get full transfer. Because people transferring now with only wealth transfer would be mad if full transfer is added a few days-week later.
I honestly don't see why they can't say 'We are in talks with Sony and MIcrosoft due to legal limitations' Please explain to my smooth brain why this would by financially risky for frontier.
