First of all, if it does happen and it has achievements, PLEASE don’t hand out end game gear for them. The seasonal achievement set gear goody bags in Diablo 3 is so terrible. You do them (and they are not even hard) and you get all the gear you need for end game.
Now, back to the question.
You could have easy ones of course, like
Beat Normal
Beat Nightmare
Beat Hell
But more fun ones to me would be like
Kill every super unique monster in Sanctuary
Reach level 99 (or at least 95 )
Find every rune
Beat Hell with every class
Reach level 95 with every class
Reach level 95 with the same class 3+times
Reach level 95 without respecing
Beat Normal without dying
Beat Nightmare without dying
Beat Hell without Dying
Beat Hell without repairing once
I am sure there are many better ones than that, but those came to mind.
haha, what constitutes 5 years? Is that logging in at least once a week, twice a week for 5 years? Or maybe you mean 43829 hours. part of me wishes I knew how much time I put into Diablo 2 since launch, and part of me is glad I don’t know lol.
Gold Plated (insert weapon type here)
One achievement for each type of weapon. I.e. Gold Plated Suwayyah, Gold Plated War Hammer, Gold Plated Wand, Gold Plated Fingers, etc.
Perhaps give your weapon a golden dust glow after completing such an achievement in-game for a period of time.
“Gambling for a living” - gamble every unique item (of those item types that are available for gambling).
“Critical missclick” - waste a HR (fill a normal item with at least 2 sockets with runes, at least one of which is a HR, and the result is not a runeword). Inspiration: I saw a guy messed the order of Last Wish runes…
Create a new solo game after finishing Act 2. Kill the Summoner again, and then find the true Tal Rasha’s Tomb on a first try. Near the Summoner there are symbols of false Tombs - the missing one is the correct one.
The best magic affixes spawn only on magic (blue) items. Find a perfect such magic item, for example Grandmaster’s Colossus Blade of Evisceration with 300 AR, 200%ED, +63 dmg.
Complete Pandemonium Event (obtain all keys, then all organs, then Hellfire Torch) solo with every character class. 2 achievements: SC and HC.
Complete Hell (all acts and bosses) with every character class wearing a full class-specific set (M’avina, Natalya, Immortal King, Aldur, Trang-Oul, Griswold, Tal Rasha). SC and HC.
Obtain an ethereal Phase Blade (upgrade an ethereal Dimensional Blade).
Complete Hell (all acts and bosses) having maxed the following skills (must kill bosses with them): (a list of skills used in most builds such as Blessed Hammer or Meteor, but also ones used rarely: Plague Javelin, Immolation Arrow, Wake of Inferno, Blade Fury, Phoenix Strike, Double Throw, War Cry, Poison Dagger, Hydra, Enchant [normal attack when Enchanted], Firestorm/Molten Boulder/Fissure (any of them - fire druid is a rare build after all), Holy Fire/Holy Freeze/Holy Shock (any - auradin build), Vengeance). The point of this achievement is to promote unorthodox builds.
Have 4 or more auras active simultaneously (equip items that grant auras, such as some runewords or Azurewrath).
Classic speedrun: finish Act I/II/III/IV/V and all acts within a given time limit without using Teleport, Leap, Leap Attack, Dragon Flight.
Complete all acts in one game, and finish all quests in an act before going to the next one.
Let all 4 hirelings kill all bosses on Hell difficulty.
Kill all bosses on Hell without having a weapon equipped. True, trivial for casters, but not all achievements are meant to be extra hard.
Equip helm, armor, weapon and shield with max sockets (3/4/6/4) socketed with perfect gems of one type.
PvP achievements: kill character of class X with a character of class Y (49 combinations). Both must have completed Hell.
Find and equip Cow King’s Leathers set.
“Wirt’s Vengeance” - kill the Cow King with Wirt’s Leg on all difficulty levels.
Kill 3 superunique Council Members (Wyand Voidbringer, Maffer Dragonhand, Bremm Sparkfist) and Mephisto within 10 seconds on Hell difficulty.
Kill all 3 seal guardians in Chaos Sanctuary (Infector of Souls, Grand Vizier of Chaos, Lord De Seis) within 10 seconds on Hell difficulty - the player has to lure them together.
Kill all 5 superuniques spawned by Baal in Throne of Destruction within 10 seconds on Hell difficulty. Lure each wave away, so Baal spawns the next one, then lure them togeter and kill them.
Complete Act I, III, IV and V without returning to town or using waypoints. Some quests have to be skipped. Separate achievements for each act.
Obtain Lo rune from the Countess and Gul rune from the Hellforge (highest possible ones).
Obtain the following items from their “owners”: Blood Raven’s Charge (Blood Raven), Andariel’s Visage (Andariel), Skin of the Vipermagi (Fangskin), Duriel’s Shell (Duriel), Azurewrath (Izual), Bartuc’s Cut-Throat (Bartuc the Bloody), Flamebellow (Infector of Souls or Ventar the Unholy). Drop table has to be tweaked to allow such drops.
Kill Andariel on Hell difficulty without getting poisoned.
Kill Diablo on Hell difficulty without getting hit by Red Lightning or Fire Nova.
Kill Baal on Hell difficulty without getting hit by Frost Wave or Fire Nova.
Kill all bosses on Hell difficulty and complete Pandemonium Event wearing no equipment. Can be done in a party (all players have to be naked). Definitely possible; a group of players has done this on hardcore.
Use an oskill.
Get morphed into a fetish (Delirium RW).
Kill a single fallen, skeleton or fetish (i. e. monster that can be resurrected) X times (that is, it has to be revived and killed several times).
Obtain a perfect Hellfire Torch (20/20) for each class.
Obtain a perfect Annihilus (20/20/10).
Reach maximum possible cast rate/hit recovery/block rate on each class (separate achievements for each rate).
Equip each hireling with elite ethereal items.

This would make it nearly impossible for virtually all specs, especially those that use throwing items like the Javazon, as the only way to replenish throwing items is to repair them. Essentially this achievement will ultimately end up being accomplished almost entirely via power carry where you maybe “tap” the bosses and let the carrying player get the kill. Achievements like these are usually very unfriendly and not fun at all.
Most unique thrown weapons (both for Amazon and Barbarian) have the Replenishes Quantity property. It works with ethereal items as well, making them even more valuable.

TrangOul made a good suggestion, but even if you didn’t have that, another solution would be; picking up random javelins and using those to kill normal monsters, while keeping stronger ones for act bosses. I would imagine you could pick up enough javelins from the ground to not repair.
