It began the moment I set foot in Outland at Hellfire Peninsula...
And it's continued throughout my experiences here so far...

At least in Shattrath City you can find people on other mounts, but still the nether drake is by far the "standard" mount found on the Anniversary servers.
These are just a few of the times I've seen nether drakes around. It's so ubiquitous that one could be forgiven if you'd have thought they simply gave you one once you unlocked flying. But no, there's a long grind to get a nether drake mount. I did it once during Cataclysm simply because I wanted to see how it was done, and while it's not the worst grind in the game it didn't engage me either.
That being said, seeing all these players with their nether drake mounts, I'm reminded of Syndrome's quote from The Incredibles...

I never thought that made any sense. If everyone is super then EVERYONE IS SUPER! Super is not a synonym of special. It's like saying "if everyone can read then no-one can read". I mean, if everyone BUT you was super, as in had a super-power, would you want to be the only one who didn't? That might indeed make you special, even unique, but you still wouldn't be super. I'd rather have the power than the dubious prestige of being the only one without one, personally...
