Yes true, for activities inside the castle this is correct and should be maintained, but to get rid of this UNNECESSARY tedium why not make it that we can RECALL directly to the hitching post area INSIDE the dungeon entrance, and put the agent of the crown in there too.
The fact you have to recall to the bridge, cross it and dismount, run to the entrance via a minimum of three rooms/ sets of doors to get to the stairs, enter, then remount, claim any pets if you are a tamer at the hitching post seems to be tedium for tedium's sake. I for one would much rather just recall into the area and not have all that running and crap. I would also like to put a rune to Blackthorn Castle's Dungeon in my rune library, as it is now, people end up at the bridge and go 'wtf?' .
If you enter upstairs then yes, the forced dismount and stabling still happens, same as if you enter via the bridge, but please let us recall directly to the hitching post.
Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
