To me, it just creates an extra achievement that people can´t really complete, and even as someone who´s raided since MC days, i don´t see the point in achievements that newer players or characters can´t achieve. And you can´t say ´just go back and do it at 80´, well good luck my Hunter achieving the aitesh one, or my priest achieving the thunderfury, let along the achievements that are literally impossible now, like the bug mount.

People who have achieved these things previously already have something tangible to show for it, i personally don´t like the idea of achievements that not everyone can achieve, just so these people have something extra to boast about.
Thats why those arent real achievements, they are "feats of strength". They only appear once you meet the requirement of the feat, they dont sit their greyed out taunting you. And they dont give any reward other than the line of text in your UI.
