    If pressing an offensive action button implied a dismount, the penalty for unintentionally pressing an instant offensive action is that you must fight the thing before you can mount again.

    It's therefore reasonable, and quite appropriate, to require two separate button presses to dismount and then attack.
    If this is the case then why does gathering have the exception then? You right click on any gathering node and you instantly hop off your mount and start gathering. Why should battle classes be any different? I'm sure the coding between Battle NPC and gathering is vastly different but it's still the comparison.

    Gatherers are stealthed and, barring carelessness regarding switching classes in town, are not at risk of being attacked if they dismount unintentionally.
