We really need an achievement for both killing Steve or being downed by Steve during the Halloween Festival.

As a huge supporter and fan of the Halloween Lab experience, I suggest that a new achievement/title be put in the game for facing the Labyrinthine Horror aka Steve. If Steve downs you 100 times you could get the title "Steve's Lover" and if you kill the Labyrinthine Horror 100 times you could get something like  "Terror of the Horror"

I’m against adding achievements which entice players to deliberately fail and especially in a setting where it could negatively impact other players.

100 times is a lot. We already have some achievements for doing very specific things. Dodging some ability or getting hit by one.

What if we were to reduce the number of deaths or whatever required to get the achievement? There isn't much to entice people to fight the Horror. It would be nice to add a reason to kill him.

There already is an achievement to do it as well as a rotating daily.  You also get additional loot as well.  Out of the three bosses on the map, he's the one killed significantly more than any of the others.  I daresay he's killed as least twice as often as the other two combined.

 

 

Achievements should not be tied to failing and most definitely not in a group setting.  It doesn't matter how many times you have to do it to complete the achievement.  You, and the OP, are not realizing the impact that an achievement like that would have.

A thousand times this ^

You only need to look at GW2 in its early years to see how bad an idea it is to incentivise losing. There were neumerous events and achievements accessible only by failing events. It did not go well.....
