More drakes! OK, stop drakes.

We're now in Arena season 2, and in theory, those in the top 0.5% of their battlegroups should have received the 310% speed armored nether drakes as a reward for their prowess. However, there seem to have been some...issues with their distribution. According to this thread and the above picture (thanks for the tip, Robodex), the drakes have been making their way to well over the mandated 0.5% on the European realms. Whereas according to several threads in the US forums (still down), people that know they should have received their drakes are not getting them. Blizzard's looking into it:
We're currently in the process of investigating instances where the end-of-season rewards may not have been provided to teams that should have received them. As we're still in the process of collecting information and investigating we're unable to comment at this time on what exactly occurred, or if there was indeed an error in how the rewards were provided based on the stated criteria.
We'll provide more information as soon as we have a clear and final idea of what the issue is and how it will be addressed if necessary.
Do you have an armored nether drake? Are you supposed to?

Like half of the people in my realm have Gladiator rank with the Swift Nether Drake mount.
My main character was supposed to get one from its 2v2 team, but instead he got three of them. My alt how ever wasnt supposed to get any, but he got one, while people with more rating in the same bracket got none. There seem to be people under 1800 rating getting those mounts too.

Yep I got one along with the Gladiator rank. Our 3v3 rating last week was 1860.
Of course I feel as though it's not mine but am enjoying it whilst it lasts anyway, they look cute when they run along the ground :D
I'm more excited about my twinkly lights paladin season 2 armour and new epic honour rewards to be honest, which I've saved long and hard for.

I know some people on BDF that weren't supposed to have a drake ended up with multiples. They can't be sold or D/E'd as some people apparently checked it out in an attempt to get some value out of it before BLizz took it back (which they were certain BLizz would).

Is that a reference to that insane raid leader in the Onyxia raid video? "More DoTs! I don't see enough DoTs! More DoTs! OK, stop DoTs!"
