Since neither permadeath nor ssf are coded into the game, every person is going to have their personal ruleset variation. Many of those who don't want to be healed or buffed ninja style by random passersby will turn in the Tome of Discord and actually use the game coding to prevent that. Others, like <Legacy of Ik> toons I have talked to, accept heals or intervention in a fight going poorly, but will click off buffs deemed higher level than appropriate at their level.
In my case, it's more of a "roleplay" idea.... other players are part of the game world, so intervention of buffs and heals aren't a problem. It's only rezzing that I reject while trying to reach level 60 (which hasn't happened yet, sadly). Not trying to set some record, not streaming or recording my progress, just playing the game the way I want to.
