Achievements are content now for guilds like ours. And they will continue to be so. Blizzard has said that they want raids to be available to everyone. And have put Achievement "Hard Modes" in to appease the serious raiders like us.
I have mixed feelings on the issue. On the one hand, it diminishes the uniqueness of end game raiding when everyone's doing it. Not to mention how stupid it feels to be doing something "the hard way" when there's an easier way to do it. On the other hand, the Hard Mode stuff looks to be actually hard and there are better rewards for doing it that way.
In any event, get used to it. Get used to doing Achievements. Because that's what end game raiding is about now. Sure server first kill will net you a nice title. But no one cares anymore. Guilds will be measured by raiding achievements.
