just let the timer run out, same thing as hitting decline
I have a keybind for dialogyes and a keybind for dialogno.
Easy as pushing a button to accept or decline anything. 
There I was between a rock and a hard place. Then I thought, "What am I doing on this side of the rock?"
Or you can just drag the window to one side and ignore it until it times out. I've done this with people who won't take "NO!" for an answer with teaming.
*Edit* In some cases it would be nice to be able to block such things, but I can't see it being a very high priority.

I'd rather have the option to decline non-team buffs. Or at least the graphics. People spend a lot of time on their costumes and take pride in their heroesÂ’ unique look. I go out of my way to turn off powers with graphics when I'm not on the job, or even disable the graphics altogether if possible (for sets like Invulnerability or Super Reflexes). So when I get hit with some unsolicited buff that sets my hero on fire or turns him into a pink ice cube, I often find myself wishing for Mystic Fortune's offer to "accept/decline".
Larry: Owen, what the hell did you do to my wife?
Owen: Well I don't want to say on the phone - all I can tell you is that I killed her last night.
For what it's worth, I only ever cast Mystic Fortune on someone if they don't have a fortune already
(Since, well... even if they say 'yes' they can't have two fortunes at once and it will just fail)

An option to auto-accept the fortune teller buff would be used by me. Would that be a bad idea?
I would also set my fortune teller to auto accept if we had the option.
Are there even any negative fortune teller buffs?

One does something like -3% tohit, but gives you extra movement and recharge. Not exactly a debuff. |

Regarding the binds:
Code:
/bind <key> dialogyes
Code:
/bind <key> dialogno

I'd rather the Devs work on doubling, if not more, costume options.
So, 12 beast heads instead of 6, 16 beast legs in stead of 8, etc.etc.

There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.
I find it highly annoying. Sure the option to auto accept should be available to those that want it but Im sorry for me.. i dont want it. I am tired of the window popping up all the time in the middle of a fight.. I want the option to at LEAST hide the dialog box.
The hard things I can do--- The impossible just take a little bit longer.
If numbers are so much more important than a teammate who is fun to play with, forget about the game altogether and go play with a calculator instead. -Claws and Effect-

Next time you get the buff, move the window to some unused corner or behind your chatbox and let it time out. Then the next time someone applies the buff, it'll be out of the way and you'll never notice it.

I don't find ANY buffs "really friggin annoying".
The day I get pissed at someone buffing me is the day I quit this game...
If you want the buff thats fine.. However I would like the OPTION to have the chat window not even EXIST and to not accept the buff..

Okay. Now, I do have to ask a question. Why haven't you asked these players who are tossing around Fortune Tellings in the middle of battle... why don't they do it at the start of a map?
Seriously. The buffs last for 20 minutes, and the recharge comes up fairly quick compared to the timing of the buff. So, is it really that big a deal to buff up at the start of a map... and you know... not do it during a fight? I play across several different servers and I don't think I've ever run with a team where somebody with the Magic Booster Pack was tossing out buffs mid-might.
***
As to your original question about whether or not to accept the buffs, I do think you have a valid point, behavior of whoever you are teaming with aside. One of the other examples is teleport, which you can set to either ask you if you want to teleport, or if you just want to teleport and be sent anywhere.
So there is an in-game precedent for setting an automatic trigger to accept a team-mates actions without having to give explicit consent. Since everybody can be affected by the booster pack, whether or not they bought it, it might be worth the developers time to implement.
I'd love a way to auto-accept these.

You can only cast one. It has a slow recharge time. You can cast one at the start of the map on one player. Then you cast again when it recharges. With players running willy nilly all over the map after entering you cast when you can.
If someone complains about it I never buff them again. It's simple. Most people are grateful for the things.
Seriously, two of the buffs have minor negative components. All of them have major good components. It doesn't create a visual like ice armor. This is a lot of whine for something that is good.
The only time I can see not wanting the buff is the tank on a STF where the tower's bit of damage could end up as a floor wipe because of Recluse's high damage output. Otherwise this petty bickering over someone helping you out is stupid. Just say no and get on with playing. If it bugs you that much then go solo. You don't play well with others anyway.

Also a quick note you don't have to accept the buff. It ask, just say no.

BAB recommended 300 ft. If you don't ever want to see your GFX, then set it to zero. |
My Vote, Auto Accept/Decline option. That way people who want it can always get it, and those who hate it can always ignore it. Sorta like the Prompt Team Teleport Dialog Box.
I LOVE the extra buff, the people I play with all have it and we use it ALWAYS. We even have come to the point we just buff the person on the list below us.
