Using new MS account (with that unwanted, automatically created Skype) with an ancient Skype account that has my life on it [duplicate of around 4,398 threads]

A beautiful table so you can skip to the part you want to read instead of putting up with my disorganized crap.

I'd love it if a rep could pass this forward to the accounts team and tell them that something needs to happen about this issue (it's making me crazy).

What made me post this:

I just went through over 300 (yes, I am being literal) threads spanning the course of a couple of years seeing if anything is being done about thehundreds of threads being created weekly, not just here, but all over the internet about this one specific problem. There's not. I have seen some from late 2016 where the support staff has acted as if this was going to get solved. I just want one clear-cut thing here: does MS even think about us casualties or not?

Presented Solutions

  1. Delete a Skype account -JUST- the Skype profile (deactivating it, starting over, etc. whatever) and not the full MS account OR
  2. Merge two Skype accounts (even if we need to go through hell to verify our identity) This really wouldn't be difficult to implement at all OR
  3. Just completely separate all of MS and Skype for everyone's account in general
    1. ALL Skype functionality would be removed and would be rendered a completely separate entity (like it should be anyways).
    2. Sure, it would be a small inconvenience to some users because they'd have to relink, but it would allow the thousands of us that get on your nerves the opportunity to do what we need to do.
    3. Just use the MS login API to sign in and link to Skype like every other app/plugin there is.

  4. Just tell us that you are not planning on doing this at all instead of giving us hope with all of these "can't do it at this time"s.

Funny part to diffuse the tension

I don't care if you have to take this to your boss' grandmother's grave and perform a seance to tell her to beat her grandchild's head in for not listening and just rolling his/her eyes. Your userbase is tired of asking this. You're tired of hearing this. The community is frustrated at the number of questions based on this. The company is probably tired of wasting money on saying the same thing. Take it to Gates if you have to, but for real, I think that there are enough complaints already for the accounts people to do something about it.

At the very least, please tell us officially whether or not the companies even thinking about doing something to solve it. Send a mass email or something like Microsoft usually does when they have a verdict decision on a feature.

It'd be cool if this could work like the feedback hub, where if enough people complain, they'll actually fix it 😒.

Thank you.
