Visit Null the Gull in Pocket D and you get the option to disable the +spd portion of Speed Boost.

Okay, so why didn't that jerk Fender tell me about this Null guy? LOL
Sleep now.

One of the first things that I do with any new alt that I create is take a quick trip to Pocket D to visit Null. Love that bird. <3

Also, if SB is annoying you and you haven't taken the time to see Null yet, you can always click it off yourself now.

Lol, that's awesome. Although how much danger can he get into being inside Pocket D? Hungry dancing catgirls perhaps? :-x

I would like a decline all random buffs options.
Meaning that the only people who can buff you are those on your team.

You do have the ability now to manually turn off buffs. Right click on the particular buff icon and hit CANCEL. That'll turn the, say, Ice Shield off. No more buff animation (no more buff either, of course). This doesn't work for stuff like Mystic Fortune or Secondary Mutation, since those are temporary powers.

This really confuzled me for a while. I was playing a buffing character and I kept noticing that somehow I was missing one teammate with my buffs! So, I helpfully kept rebuffing her, trying to figure out how I was consistently failing to hit her. She finally sent me a tell explaining that she was canceling my buffs for her own reasons. Mind=blown! At that point I am sure we were both frustrated and irritated, but that friendly tell fixed things right up |

It never occurred to me to try to turn off a buff. That's good to know, though in the heat of combat, it's not really feasible either.

This would rock. Even though I now know I can turn off said buff, it'd be a lot less hassle.

I appreciate the info.
I know this is going to sound really weird to most of you, but I HATE Speed Boost. No. I DESPISE Speed Boost. The forum rules do not allow me to accurately convey just how much I LOATHE Speed Boost.
I sincerely am not sure if I would have paid for VIP upon my return to the game had I known that SB had turned into an AOE. That's how much I hate it. Back in the day I could ask not to be buffed with it and maybe I'd only get hit with it once or twice by accident. I could cope with that. Now I don't really have a choice. No Defender is going to keep track of me to make sure I'm out of the AoE. It's completely ruined teaming for me. I don't want to team with PuGs again for fear of running into it.
Why you are probably wondering?
I do not have mad WASD skills. When speed boosted, I cannot control my character's movement. I overshoot targets every time. I risk agro. It's that much harder to keep track of the map. It's especially maddening for my scrappers. My toons very rarely need it either. I build all of my characters with triple slot Stamina and I manage end drain pretty well. And the game seems designed so that in larger groups, you end up using less endurance anyway unless you're on support.
So, I know that based on the usual track record with dev response, mine is probably just a lone crazed voice in the wilderness that will never be answered, but I felt the need to vent after having an otherwise great night of gaming destroyed after running into my first kinetics defender since my return. =(
