I've been playing WAR since launch and in WAR guilds have levels, and as you level the guild you unlock new abilities, such as being able to carry a standard into battle or having access to a guild vault. It definitely makes guild life more interesting, helping guilds retain members as well as being a kind of "marketing point" for guild recruitment. It works extremely well.

I'm all for this sort of thing in WoW, but I'd like to see more tangible rewards. Example: Killed all bosses in Karazhan in an hour or less with an all-guild group. Reward: Violet Eye rep and an extra guild bank slot.

Now that I'm thinking about it, guild faction reputation could be interesting. "Buy X and Y gear when you are personally Revered or guild Honored with Z faction." Obviously make the guild rep grinds a little harder to accomplish.

Maybe that isn't such a good idea since no one enjoys rep grinds.

The point I'm trying to make is there is an incredible amount of good stuff that can come from making a more cohesive experience out of being in a guild.
