I would delete Paragons, Dervishes, Assassins, Ritualists and Necromancers.
The sum contribution of these classes to the game is severely negative.

The funny thing is, as this list grows, there will be a trend. People don't like Heroes, Titles, the Inscription system, the new classes and the PvE only stuff. Funny thing is, that'll be what Anet will be relying on for GW2.
I BET GW2 PvE will have all this crap except 100x worse...regardless of the community's dislike for it.

Keep:
-Whoever designs the loading screens. Am I the only one who enjoys lagging while loading in to an explorable because those images are cool?
-Whoever does the music. Jeremy Soule I believe.
Both of the above don't get enough love from the community.
Remove: Excessive titles such as the Kurxick/Luxon/Drunkard and so on. Part of me feels compelled to do it for that sense of completion but another part of me thinks it is a waste of time and resources.

Everything else in the game right now that I don't want removed.
Remove:
Loot scaling
Add:
Chests that don't require a key, in tough places in all campaigns. Sort of like before Factions. But have them in a few certain places in Factions and Prophecies. Have them be on a random loot list which consists of two different types of drops. Chest with 2-8 white/blue/rare/purple drops. Chest with money 100g-800g with 1-3 white/blue/rare/purple drops.
Better bars to all henchmen.
Also a random Heroes Arena. Kind of like RA, but with a HoH chest drop to those who get that far. It'll be worth the lulz.

I'd remove the Inscriptions and Chaos Gloves (even tho I use them atm).
Something I'd like to add:
Bigger friend list (mouse hover your friend [if he's your friend too] to see in which town/dist he is in).
Bigger ignore list (mine is full..)
Old favor system.

PvE-only skills.

Max stat greens.
Favor tied to PvE grind.
Level cap.
Reason I say level cap is because, while it was a great idea way back when, in the long run its made large parts of PvE boring and monotonous. You reach the level cap too soon, weapons are easily obtainable at max stats with nothing ever better to find, monsters are scaled to a reasonable max range, nothing can really be added of any further difficulty, character development simply ends. The result is we get titles, and many of them arent thought out well enough to be anything but a mindless grind - not even a fun grind. I'd simply keep level 20 as the level in GW2 one PvPs at, no matter what the PvE level of the character actually is, scaling stats, weapon and character, to a uniform max amount as it is in GW when PvPing.

And i agree with fenix here there will be a certain trend but Anet will sadly rely on these attributes for GW2
And regarding the inscription system, even though it is one of the reasons for the downfall of the economy, if it wasnt in the game there would hardly be any PvE character up too par with PvP onces.

Go girl!
Keep:
- Factions - it's seriously one of the best games I have ever played.
As long as I'd have access to skills from other campaigns - I don't care about C1, C3 and that disaster that is GWEN. (No wonder Gwen was a mesmer - since her namesake game is as bad as mesmers in PvE - Heroes - although they severely hurt PvE - they are something bad that I am willing to accept for the greater good. The bad is that I am having issues pugging - the greater good is that I don't need to.
- Kilroy! His Punch-out quest is just to die for funny!
Dump:
- The idea that it's the big damage numbers that make the foes scary.
- Although it's in Factions - I dislike the idea of locked doors.
- Titles which influence the game.
Stuff that I don't care about - but since I don't need to deal with it - it can stay for all I care:
- PvP outside of Aspy.
- PvE skills.
- Hard mode.

If anything I would argue that they were maybe implemented a little bit too soon, which was counter productive. Rather than making up for low population by helping people to fill pugs they have instead/also discouraged pugs by being better than most players.
I would remove all classes apart from Rangers, Monks and Warriors. Then you have a fun game!

+ New divine favor system (standing around waiting for UW/FoW to open sucked)

Remove:
- The entire Factions PvE. Just let me roll a Level 20 character in Factions and go to one of the continents that doesn't completely suck. Does anybody even use Factions PvE for anything other than a near-instant level 20?
- HoM
- All the GWEN armors
- Locked gates
- /rank
- About half the skills
- Most of the titles, especially pointless time-wasters like Drunkard
- Pretty much everything involving the Paragon's Leadership
- Not PvE skills per se, but the defective implementation of them.
