    QoL Change: Automatically enable "Truth of" and "Collector's Glove" on class swap

    If you're a multi-gatherer, you've no doubt had to enable "Truth of Mountains/Forest/Oceans" and "Collector's Glove" every time you swap classes.

    Much like how "Prospect", "Fathom", etc. are automatically enabled when you swap to that gathering class (if they were enabled previously), is there any chance the aforementioned abilities could be made to do the same?

    It's a minor change, but it's highly annoying to need to reenable these buffs EVERY time I switch gathering classes, which happens often when doing the rounds for unspoiled nodes.

    It would be a nice QoL, but in the meantime, I have a macro that turns everything on when I switch classes.
    Something like (May be off. At work, working from memory/internet):
    /gs change 8 <wait.1>
    /ac "Collector's Glove" <wait.1>
    /ac "Truth of Forests" <wait.1>

    A mentor stole my house, slapped me across the face, and raised my ping from 15 to 30. Literally unplayable.

    Yeah, I think I'll probably do the same, though the issue here is that I don't ALWAYS want to collect when swapping, so it'd be nice if it just remembered the glove settings. :\

    I'd rather they don't enable Collector's Glove automatically, unless you had it on before swapping. Yeah, sure, it'd help while you're leveling, but once you're past that you'll spend quite a bit of time doing actual gathering and it's not helping me to increase the number of times I have to push a button. Truth, OK. There's literally no time I don't want it up, only times I don't care enough to bother.

    Exactly.

    All I want is for it to remember the previous settings. If you had glove/Truth on before you switched away from that class last time, it'll enable them automatically when you switch back.

    Oh, OK. I missed that part in the OP.

    The EASIEST solution is to make all the " Truth of" Traits so that nodes ALWAYS display.

    It being a toggle is making it what SE complained about leading up to 4.0, the dreaded "button bloat"!

    Collector's Glove I'm fine being a toggle, though.

    Note that you can cross-class Truths to other classes. I activate all of them (by macro) whenever I'm on any of my DoH classes.
