Hasn't ever bothered me. I don't usually have a problem with killing people though. I think the only time I ever lost with mount gear on is when I also had no poisons on and was too stupid to put them on when I had the chance (I'm still used to poison application bringing you out of stealth as that change is only what... 4 months old? I've been playing that character since release so I've had a lot more time with it the other way. I believe I was one of the earlier people (or pioneer, I really don't know if anyone used it before me, but I know I never heard of it or saw it before I figured it out) to use the Stealth->Poison->Shadowmeld->Poison->Stealth technique too).
Although, back when I did PVE, I would've got another pair of NS gloves to get a riding enchant on, but they let someone else get the gloves over me... just because he didn't have a pair! The thing is, he didn't really want them and only sharded them a day or two later.
I would've used them! grrr PVE deserves a hulk smash for sucking so much.

1% may not seem like a lot, but it's 2 less bag slots wasted. I carry 3-4 sets of gear and a bag and a half of pots., 2 bag slots is a lot to me.
In PvP, getting ambushed and being out a single trinket is NOTHING compared to getting ambushed with your enchanted pair of legs, gloves, and a trinket.
Alright, now you're trying to get to personal insults demeaning my "WoW intelligence" saying I don't realize some joe schmoe will do it. Guess what.. why would I waste
my materials to raise someone else's Leatherworking when
I WILL NEED TO DO THAT MYSELF! I could care less if I use 3 items or 1 item, whoop-dee-doo!
I've defeated mobs/players in mount gear countless times, it doesn't matter to me! Losing 10% AP, 1% crit, 300 hp isn't a severe crutch to play on. I've killed same-level players
NAKED.
Unfortunately, you can't see my bags, or you'd know that I have all Onyxia Hide Backpacks and my bank is also half full of them. I only carry about 3 slots worth of pots, I don't need any more or even any at all. I also only carry about 3 slots worth of bandages. They also rarely get used. Heroism ftw?
EDIT 2:
Also, maybe it'd be good for you to know that I haven't even been playing my rogue lately other than ganking evil people that kill my shaman, because I've been leveling said shaman.
