I posted this response in a separate thread regarding mounting on horse and PvP as well, and thought it was important enough to post here too
Its not when you get hit, its when you are the one hitting and committing to PvP that is the issue. No you should not be able to hop on and off horse and abuse it in a healthy oPvP environment.
Don't even get me started on the people who abuse marriage rings to constantly tp to survive in PvP and have the unable to be damaged or targeted immediately after teleport thing. There is far too many abusable things in oPvP right now, and I do participate and do them as well when I am facing players who do them, the issue is not that we dont all have access to the same abusable horse/teleports etc, but that many people do not think it is healthy as far as oPvP is concerned. Players who spec for PvP cannot kill PvM characters currently. Not because they lack gear or damage, or that the PvM has some sort of extra defenses, but because of abusing current ingame mechanics which many people are passionate about changing in one way or another.
End of story, it's just not fun as it currently is, oPvP is not rewarding, worth doing, and full of abusable things and/or bugs that people want to see changed and fixed. This may be a farming progression game, but at it's core it is also a oPvP game with 3 kingdoms at constant war in the maps. I can only imagine the hell that will come from fights at the even more contested oPvP places such as Ice Witch.
