Just make the character go into standing mode before performing said action. It's a hassle to have to dismount / stand up from sitting position / whatever before trying to do the same action again.
There already are many actions you can perform while mounted:
- foraging
- opening doors
- eating food
just to give some examples. They automatically cause the character to dismount.
Some actions that can't be performed while mounted / performing an emote:
- using portal doors in Arcane Sanctum
- drinking potions
- maybe others that I may have missed
Why isn't it consistent? Just make the character dismount as well.
