It can both be nerfed (as in, making it more difficult to mount monsters) and be made less annoying for everyone at the same time, both things aren't incompatible.

I was watching the old MH4 trailers the other day, when they were just introducing the concept of mounting monsters. The other players still attacked the monster. Capcom never meant for the other players to just stand still and watch as the mounting player did all the job, that was just an unexpected consecuence of a newly designed gameplay element, and now they're improving on that so it's closer to their original idea, where teamwork is encouraged. At least, that's what I think, but of course it's pure speculation.
