I love the self-deprecating elitism that is running wild on this board. "Oooh I am only 2144 I am not worthy of the reward." My team has never broken 1900 but due to us often queuing when there are few people on we got to fight some 2100 teams. We got stomped. Badly. As far as I am concerned, anyone who is 2100+ is deserving of the Netherdrake because everyone we have played from that bracket has owned us as hard as we own 1450ers (which is the actual median, give or take a few).

I see it all the time. People on this board completely misjudge what "average" means. I one of the raiding threads, someone said something along the lines of "the average pre-BC raiding guild killed Patchwerk". No, not even close. Maybe "the average EJ board-reading raiding guild" did. In PvE such misconceptions do not matter. But in PvP they do due to the nature of the system.

So in short, no I do not see a problem with you getting the mount. If you are good enough to climb the ladder so fast without much practice, more power to you. And since you can only get a mount once, the fact that your new team is young does not make a difference. That is the beauty of the system, if you are good you don't have to pay your dues at the low end. You can jump the line straight to the top. That is what makes it appealing.
