As for the mounts, of course it's annoying when people cover npcs but also sometimes I can tell it wasn't really on purpose. Particularly the big mounts it's like you go from too far to talk to the npc to your entire mount is running over the npc lol. Being hyper aggressive on that rule might lead to some unintentional victims I think. Of course we have seen people go overboard I think Asmon was a recent obvious example.
I agree with you on that, especially on patchdays etc. it's basically natural that players stand everywhere especially with their huge mounts. It just amazed me that players don't know about all these things, which is in my opinion SEs fault, they never really push the rules into your face so that you have to read them.

But they enforce them, as we saw with Asmongolds streamsnipers. I also know some players which got banned for spamming bluemage spells in hubs. It's crazy that people hear about these rules for the first time when it's already too late for them.
