You obviously haven't used a pet in the past few weeks. Because the 'Pet Wars' has been hit really hard already.
Also, the part of mounting the pet isn't what add's the extra strength to the player, its the part of the pet being used as a meat shield in front is what causes the 'Pet Wars'.
1. Correct, I don't play anymore and PETS are a significant reason for it.
2. SK is all about initiative. If a PET starts a fight and grants you a few free rounds of combat, you've just won.
3. It is INDEED rediculous for a Knight/Paladin (or similar character) to stand behind a horse...Not tactic-wise but RP-wise. Since the game tactics DICTATE so, I see no other choice but ridicule your character in that way.
4. The removal of spells from PETS though, (if I've heard correctly) was totally uncalled for.
