When it comes to the PvP it's all opinion.
My opinion is as follows-
I have never played XUO before but it's style of PvP to me seems terrible. If you have to use more then UOAssist for PvP its not fun. I played a sphere.51a shard and used UOAssist. Now that was fun. A Variety of weapons were succesfull ranging from Elven Bows, Chu-ko-nu, War Fork, Long Sword, Bardiche. You used bandages. If you saw someone casting a long spell like flame strike you could set a macro to cast spell poison, last target and it would cast faster and when it poisoned it would cause them to fizzle. It was cool cause it was like you had to be aware of when and what they were casting to be able to time it. You could also drink invis pots if you saw a flamestrike coming to cause a fizzle. From what I've gathered there is almost no strategizing when you use this injection. Its all about the macros. The best macros timed right win. Where the fun in that?
Im not against macros, but when you can write out like 8 lines of script for a macro then push one button and you say Kal Vas Flam, In Vas Mani 100 times (exaggeration) heal yourself equip bow and cast spell, well thats just insane. Of course in no way am I trying to get it changed to my ways, I'm just old school and thats why you wont see me PvP probably.
I also understand the thing about Dragons. Maybe you could allow Dragons only to be kept in your house. Like say, home protection, seeing as realistically the idea of a person in UO's day and age walking around with a shrunken dragon in its pouch being able to pull it out and command it then shrink it whenever would be qualities of "the Gods" and should not be allowed. But the idea of someone capturing one and chaining it down in a field near its house and feeding it mustangs and peasants, nows that understandable!
