So alot people ive notice feel stuck on there platform they play on i came up with a win win situation for both cryptic and player base
Createing a mimic of your charater 1 way pass from consles to pc or viversa for one low payment of $150 witch is not a bad price if ur charter has millions worth of stuff and time put into it
What will this do for the community and cryptic you ask?
Well Cryptic makes money for better content
Players get the satifaction of cross play with there favorite streamers or friends
Whats your thoughts on this topic sound like a good idea?

It has been suggested that they "merge" the server shards to allow PC, XB1, and PS4 to play together. Not impossible but very unlikely. This game company has issues moving a working mod to Live. On a cloudy day, they have lag issues, if there are more than a scant few people playing in 1 instance. I can't really visualize how that concept would work out, but it is not your suggestion.
As for what Cryptic does with your money, I still have no clue. I don't work in their accounting department. A few years ago, my father passed away and left my sister and I a large amount of money. I was going to invest stock in Cryptic Studios. Turns out you can't as they are a subsidiary of PWE. It has been suggested to me, that all the money we spend is sent directly to China (PWE) and they send Cryptic an allowance like some teenager. So any big money ideas, Cryptic might like them, if they could bypass the Zen store and go directly to Cryptic, and not end up in Dad's wallet instead.
A move means you lose the original character from the original platform.
A copy means you have the 'same' character in both platforms.
I assume it will be a move because 'copy' mean you can duplicate your worth every time you copy.
Second, how many times are you allowed to 'move'? Unlimited?
Third, right now, console and PC are not in the same mod. One can gather bunch of cheap items in the earlier mod so that they can make a fortune in the later mod. Of course, the $150 price tag can really stop people doing so. With a low price tag, it will really encourage people to do so.
- Create a character in platform.
- Get as much cheap stuff as possible.
- Pay the price X to move to another platform.
- Give the cheap stuff to the main character in that platform.
The feasibility of this "business plan" depends on what the price X is.
Forth, economy of the platform are different. If one can allow moving billions AD from PC to console, well, that can be 'something'.
The bottom line is console makers don't seem to agree about crossplay so unless that line ever gets removed this is a pipe dream.
If that weren't the #1 issue though, being on different mods would be a huge issue as far as I'm concerned. Let's rewind a few months and have someone on PC farm ToMM rings, then swap over to consoles and sell them a mod early.
That sounds like a big issue to me. And there are countless other problems.
This was something that could only be done if the game was on the same pace as far as schedule and the economies were the same. That is not the case here.

i.e.
potentially, Microsoft user can go to its competitors: Sony or PC.
Sony user can go to its competitors: Microsoft or PC.
For true cross platform play, user is not leaving.
Right but for true cross play it should of been implemented in beginning
Createing a mimic and remove the old one could be a option to fill the void of people buying new pcs or new concsles to change charters over
Same for createing mimmics of charaters its just a loop hole in the contract lol if im correct
Mimmics could be that hole to share accounts with cross play
The way to do that legally is: you and your neighbour form one bar (partnership), break the wall to be one expanded bar (assuming the license does not limit number of customer).

Lol oh okay
