I was hoping for a Player Buff change. If enabled, it will be impossible to buff a player that's not on your team.

[Realitycheck]

Just give us the ability to disable ALL buffs from other players while not on their team. PLEASE!!!

A self toggle, ala Null the Gull? Sure, it only affects you and on your terms. Imposed on everyone? Nope, keep your playstyle out of mine.

Until then, though, you can cancel any buffs that have been granted by right clicking on the status icon & hitting Cancel.  The only buff that I know of that this doesn't work on is Mystic Fortune, but that has its own option to auto-decline (either in options menu or at Null, can't remember offhand).

Yep, Mystic Fortune preferences are at Null. Don't forget to turn off group fly while you're there!

I find it difficult to believe that receiving buffs from well meaning players to be a bad thing, but be as it may, I would like to see the choice to be or not to be buffed be done in the option window where you can choose to be or not be teleported, why group fly is not there as well, simply bewilders me!

Some buffs and the colours players choose to give them can be... annoying/eye-searing/epileptic-enducing. Or they muck up the costume, because i spent 4 hours making it an I want to look at it dagnabbit! I can understand not wanting them on occasion, but at least there's the option to dismiss them.

But what if that costume you spent 4 hours to make, is dog ugly?  
Maybe the person buffing  you was trying to help you by hiding the embarrassment you created.

It's very good, but I feel like it's missing something...   Neon orange sparkles maybe?

I thought that's what Granite Armor was for.

Making it impossible to buff someone not on your team (instead of, as suggested above, having a 'reject outside buffs' flag from Null or elsewhere) would prevent one of the community-positive acts you see (albeit a specialized case) — standing at the top of the toboggan run in the ski chalet area hitting people with Speed Boost and Inertial Reduction to help them get the gold badge for the run. I'm sure that there are other examples — and since things like XP and Vmerits in leagues are team-specific, I wonder if making it impossible to buff someone not on your team would affect buffing/healing members of other teams in, say, a BAF, Lambda, or other incarnate trial. That would significantly jerk over league-based activities — entering the mission randomizes the teams, so if you wound up on a team with no heals, you could be significantly hampered compared to other teams.
