There's a difference between a 50 who shows up out of the blue to "help" and someone willing to join the team and exemp down. Some people may like the assistance from above/behind/beyond but my feeling is this:|

I guess you just can't please everyone and will make someone mad no matter what you do.  |
Even as a lowbie, when I'm playing I want to play, not be hand held. There's a reason heals aren't as big and cool buffs aren't available at the low levels when those sewer foes are a challenge. They make it trivial. Trivial is boring.
Feel free to pitch in, join the team, and help out, but don't be surprised when people take the "help" the wrong way if you're buffing from outside the team.

Even teamwipes are hilarious with the right teammates.

I teamed with a tanker on a TF who had all his seconday attacks and very few of his primary shields. It led to some private snickering but the team didn't suffer for it.
With debt being so negligible I am always surprised at the hostility some people have towards dying in the game. But that may just be my inner scrapper talking.
total kick to the gut
This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.

I love a team that says stuff like: "Wow, that was fast... wonder if I can beat you back from the hospital." Makes me happy not everyone thinks that death means you have a bad team.
