Does anyone else this reward seems a bit too... amazing, to be given out for free to anybody who joins a guild?
The Phoenix is easily one of the rarest and most desired mounts in the entire game. I know of several groups that run Tempest Keep weekly just for a minuscule chance of obtaining this thing. People on my server form groups just to pay others 200k gold if the mount drops.
Why is a near-clone of this amazing mount being given out to everybody who joins a guild that has been around for a small amount of time?
If you keep putting neat mounts like Celestial Steeds and Phoenixes available to anyone with the slightest bit of effort, then what incentive (mount-wise) is there for the majority of your playerbase to tackle challenging content? Why should I go and get the next new raid mount from doing the hardest heroic modes when I will get a significantly cooler mount by clicking "Accept" on a guild invite and waiting a few days/weeks until my reputation is high enough? For that matter, why would I bother to run any holiday content or strive for any other mounts in non-raiding areas of the game when I can just use the Dark Phoenix?
I feel that the flying mount reward for being in a guild should be more in line with the Lion mount. You see lions everywhere. Sure, the mount is neat, but it's nothing compared to the rare raid land mounts like the Amani Warbear and Invincible, or the rare holiday mounts.

[Feedback] Dark Phoenix Mount RewardSource
The guild rewards you guys are seeing in game are not hooked up yet. Guild rewards have 3 requirements that must be be met before you can use them. First and foremost, they must be unlocked via a guild achievement. Let's just say, that for example, you need to complete the new guild achievement "We are Legendary" in order to unlock the Dark Phoenix. That achievement requires the guild to gain access to all 6 legendary weapons currently available in the game. (note that all guild achievements start on Cataclysm launch, so anything you have now will not matter, it must be done with your guild after launch)
So, let's say that your guild get's this achievement and thereby unlocks the Dark Phoenix on the guild vendor. At this point anyone in the guild can see the item on the vendor, but they will need a specific amount of guild faction to be able to purchase it. In this case, let's say exalted. Now, once you have the guild faction, you can purchase the item for its gold price. (prices will vary based on the reward)
I am using the Dark Phoenix and the We are Legendary guild achievement as examples here but you should get the idea. Don't worry, we wont be handing out all the goodies so easily. =)
