Btw, I did thank the fellow in game before I clicked the buffs off.
Wow! I never knew not wanting a god-mode buff could be so hurtful to so many.

You aren't getting negative responses for clicking off unwanted buffs. Other players do that. I routinely do it. You're hearing negative comments because you called drive-by buffing "disruptive" or even "creepy" (your words) when in reality it's both common in this game and positively regarded by most the community. What you call the "stealthiness" of it is in reality the simple fact that a lot of folks are too lazy to want to type much. On the other end of it, if you're new to EQ (I notice your 2017 forum join date, but maybe you haven't played much?) and used to other games where such buffing is not commonplace maybe it might indeed seem odd. A lot of newer games built using lessons learned from EQ opted to limit the ability to out-of-group buff players specifically to prevent the trivialization of content that you describe.
