If I turn Eberron content off in the toggle, but leave the "playtest" toggle on in the the Character builder, I can access Eberron subraces like Valenar Wood Elf.   This confuses me on three counts: 

1. These subraces are Eberron specific
2. These subraces, unlike Warforged, Kalashtar, etc.  have not been released in UA
3. I have not bought WGTE, nor am I in a campaign with content sharing turned one.

I think the other races are included in the Playtest tag because the whole WGtE is a living document. (Playtest). It's purchasable to keep forever, but the document is currently free as playtest. Once the playtest is done, you'll have to purchase the book to continue using the document on DDB.

The entire document isn’t available for free; I can’t, for example, see the WFGTE in the compendium. But it may be that they decided to make all the races freely available. It would be nice, though, if they would clarify in the builder that there is no way to have playtest on and exclude Non UA Eberron content at the same time. 

Speaking of, why is the Eberron toggle ON by default?

But only the Changeling, Warforged, Shifter, and Kalashtar were released in UA not the other subraces. Which turning playtest on seems to allow us to choose.

/e Right?

I'm guessing the same reason homebrew is on by default. Someone makes a homebrew item, but can't find it so they go to the forums making posts about it. Turning it on stops the extra time wasted. Someone buys WGtE and can't find any of the races or backgrounds when making their character so they go to the forums complaining about it. Just leaving it on as default stops that extra step people have to take and some people won't catch and begin complaining about buying something that doesn't work. I also bet if it wasn't on by default there would be lots of posts saying it should be.

If you have playtest on, you will see all Unearthed Arcana content, including the races of Eberron, which were released as a separate UA PDF.

 The new full races (warforged, changeling, shifter, kalashtar) are UA; the Eberron specific subraces (eg valenar high and wood elves) have not been released as UA as far as I know. Those are the ones that I'm talking about.  It still may be intentional, and that's fine, even if a bit confusing.

So in other words, convenience the moderators by inconveniencing the majority of users.

No, you're half backwards. It's convenient for the majority of the users and the mods.

If it was off by default half the users are going to post with all kinds of complaints, like I said, about not being able to find their purchased content. And, if you've looked at the posts some people make, they aren't exactly thought out much or kind. People making these posts, if they don't go back to their sheets and notice the Ebberon Content slide, are going to sit here and brood while they wait for a response. Which, depending on the time of day, could be awhile.

You're making a huge and grossly negligent assumption that on by default is the preferred method of the majority. You have zero data to confirm one way or another. My opinion is that, if asked, the majority would prefer all toggles off by default. I base that on the fact that every time this discussion has been brought up for every other toggle that DDB has introduced, the majority have wanted the default to be off. What are you basing your opinion on?

I prefer it on by default. No DM I play with has any problems allowing Eberron content.

However, it would be nice to have a preferences area in My Account or something that allows us to choose the preferred defaults. For example, all the DMs I play with also allow most or all of the playtest stuff and the Critical Role content but to use these I have to manually switch them on each time.

But ultimately, this isn't much of an inconvenience. It's like 2 or 3 seconds, is that really a big deal?

Which color is "ON" Red or Grey?
