Please have Retrieve and Gather OFF by default even if they have the permissions, because I'm getting endless reports of confused players saying they can't find any items they loot until I tell them to check their backpack, because some pages have retrieve on, and some pages have gather on, some have both on, it's weird, because the first few pages have those options on.

Would be nice to have them off by default and let players turn them on as needed

Gather and Retrieve mode are off by default. The players must have enabled them previously. Perhaps the players forgot?

This issue is not making sense to me. Let's find out what's really happening. If the issue is simply that players have forgotten, I could add the capability to auto disable gather and retrieve when the backpack loads, meaning that it would basically reset when the player disconnects for a bit.

Oh wow I had no idea, because we just updated to pages feature, and players had no idea things were going into their back pack. I doubt they even had time to click the page retrieve/gather buttons to on. When I checked my pages, the buttons were on as well, and I have never clicked them on before. That's why I thought they were already on by default.

Well maybe there's a bug that enabled them by default. I'll try wiping my backpack and see if I can reproduce that behavior.

I will also check on possible pooling related bugs. For example, player enables it, disconnects, and another player connects and gets those settings.

Edit: After quick perusal of the code, it does look like there are pooling bugs, since I'm only resetting the non-serialized properties. Gather and retrieve mode are saved in the data file, but in the event that there is no data file for the user, a previous user's settings would probably apply. This would make sense, especially if you recently wiped out the Backpacks data folder at the force wipe.
