Being Forced Off Mounts Is Obnoxious

[JunkhogMakison]

Seiorusly I really wish we could talk to NPCs without having to constantly bounce off of our mounts.

You can't expect a small indie company like SE to do something so difficult

No, thank you - its bad enough to have people afk on their mounts next to a quest-NPC... I'd rather not have those covered in Behemoths, Chocobos and giant dragons and not being able to see who I'm talking to at all...

Problem is, players can still park on top of an NPC without talking to it. One solution might be to make any player talking to an NPC remain mounted, but disappear from the view of all other players. I'd also apply this to Summoning Bells, which I iften find very hard to click when crowded.

My only wish is to automatically dismount when attacking.

[Gula]

It'd be pretty rude not to.

[DJMau]

Oh no...you have to push one more button in a game...which requires you to push buttons.

[Canadane]

It'd be pretty rude not to.

This. It's rude to speak to someone while mounted.
The courtesy to dismount to speak is paramount.

Guess we can't rp as a rude person :shrug:

The NPCs don't like your high and mighty attitude looking down on them while mounted, so yeah.

But seriously, this is actually better than before. It used to be like you have to manually dismount in order to talk to one.
