I love the buff, but I can understand that some others might not. I believe an option similar to the one for Team Teleport would be best for all.
Omega Zim - lvl 50 Rad/Dark/Power Defender, Alpha Zim - lvl 50 Tri-form Peacebringer
Theta Zim - lvl 50 Tri-form Warshade, Nightshade Zim - lvl 50 Dark/Dark/Psi Defender
Omicron Zim - lvl 50 Emp/Psi/Power Defender, Scrappy Joe - lvl 50 MA/SR Scrapper

I concur. For the most part the prompt can be an annoyance, but there have been a couple of times where I want to test something that I did with the build on my toon. In such a case having a Mystic Fortune cast on my would skew the results of the test. I can definately see both sides of the fence here and an option to turn the prompt on or off would resolve the issue for everyone.

I support this fully.
While we're on the subject, can we get an option to auto-accept revive powers, too?

I'll /sign this. Good solution.
Listen to the Munki. He has a gun.
I also like this idea, and I have one suggestion to add. Make it so that there are three mutually exclusive options for Mystic Fortune, as follows:
1. Always prompt
2. Auto-accept, no prompt
3. Auto-decline, no prompt
I would auto-accept the buff, preferably without seeing a prompt, for most characters, if I could. I might always turn down the buff on some characters, for RP reasons.
It would be helpful and appreciated to have all three options listed here.
Just to note, it's not Team Teleport that has the prompt. Team Teleport is the 4th power in the Teleportation pool that takes you and any teammate near you to a location that you click, away from yourself - multiple Teleport Self.
It's Recall Friend and Assemble the Team/Summon Teammates that have the option to auto-accept.
That said, I agree with "auto accept"/"auto decline"/"prompt" options.

The prompt is always an inconvenience to me.
The Other Player wants to read your fortune: Do you accept?
[Yes] [No]
O Don't show again
So yeah, /signed.

Yes, I understand that the POWER is not "Team Teleport" (does anyone even take that?) but the prompt option (within the Options menu, AND on the actual team invite pop-up) says "Prompt Team Teleport". It is the OPTION (in the options menu) I am referring to, not the actual power. I *assume* that the prompt would allow you to choose not to be teleported by *any* teleportation power of a teammate (including the one called 'team teleport'). I don't know. I usually only team with people I know and trust so I don't have mine set.

Yes, an option to auto accept is definitely in order here.

We had a guy from the SG running back from the hospital and we moved all of the turrets to the door to greet him.

We should be given the choice. When Issue 17 was released one of the features I was happiest about was losing the prompt. Being given the prompt like we have for teleport is the fairest solution.
Option to turn it off.. Yes plz. while i like it i dont want it on some themed toons

/signed 100 times over
not only do i hate the prompt, but them readding the prompt actually bugged it and made it WORSE by causing you to perform the casting animation if you accept the buff which roots you for a good 2 sec
i suggest 1 of 3 options:
- give us option to have prompt or not (most preferable)
- get rid of prompt entirely (happened once but was returned, so not likely)
- just forget all the prompts and make the dang fortune power just affect self and make it like how the secondary mutation power is supposed to be (10 min buff, slightly lower values than current, but casting on self)
I have been thinking about this prompt business this weekend as I have teamed on several teams with various team make-ups. I wish the prompt for the fortune was gone again. I did not miss it at all.
If the people that complained and asked for prompt back really feel that it is "an invasion of their privacy", then what about all the shields and buffs that have no prompt?
Are these not an invasion of their privacy also? 
Where is the thread demanding prompts for ice shields, fire shields, invis, fort, CM, speed boost, group fly, bubbles, dark shroud, aide other, heal, both RAs, or any of the other buffs and shields?
If it is an "invasion of privacy" for one buff, then it is an "invasion of privacy" for all buffs. Fair is Fair.
The best solution I have thought of would be to add it to our options with the following choices
1. Prompt each buff
2. Auto decline all buffs
3. Auto accept all buffs
I think that could almost make most of the players satisfied. 
**NOTE - the above is just my opinion. I know that some of my thoughts and options have been posted before with replies regarding the length of the buff.
What about the time it takes to accept or decline the buff? If you are being ambushed by a huge mob you surely don't want to waste any time with prompts.

I do agree with you tho Dawl, there should be an option to turn the prompt off like with recall friend. I mean really....there is really only one bad fortune (the fool...but that's my opinion) in the bunch...feel free to drive by fortune me anytime!
When's the next altaholics anonymous meeting again?
If the choice for Mystic Fortune prompt can't be coded in, how about removing the prompt again, but changing it so it can only affect people in your team? That way, people who hate drive-by buffers can't complain, and people who are actually using the prompt (people who play in teams) benefit too. :3

To be honest, that's probably how they should have coded it in the first place. The cat being already out of the bag, as it were, I'm sure there's be some public resistance, though ("Hey! That's not what I paid for! It eliminates the usage X!"). How much would be hard to say.
Dec out.
The discussion of the re-introduction of the pop-up prompt for the Mystic Fortune has been a popular topic among teams and global channels since the last patch. I was told by support to come to the forums and let the devs know of my opinion on the subject. Since I am always more than happy to dispense my opinion, here it is:
I would like to see an option to turn off the prompt, just like we have for Team Teleport. That would be the best way to make EVERYONE happy. It seems I am not the only person in the game who doesn't like having to click the pop-up prompt (especially if I am in the middle of clicking other things, like, say - a teammate who has less than a handful of hit points left and is wanting their heal). If there were a choice in our "Options" menu, we could have the prompt gone, and yet those who wanted it back could leave theirs on and we'd all be happy.
Thank you.
