Going to be completely honest here. I don't agree with you and here's why.
Yes, the mount Is awesome and I love It however when you stated that the Achievement Is hard to get, It's meant to be hard. Achievements (Most) are meant to be challenging so when you do achieve them, you feel pride run through you knowing you did something special. If It was easy, you really wouldn't feel anything besides a moment of "Oh, another achievement, cool."
That's just my opinion and I hope you can reason with It :).
