Which changes in game mechanics would make you laugh the most (in the first moment)
reaper with no name
Nerfing Protective Spirit.
Bellatrixa
Items drop to the ground and can be looted when you die (can be from equipped weapons, items in your inventory, armour you're wearing... anything on your person). Hey, it happens to enemies so it's only fair!

Your example would be pretty hilarious as well. I can just see the Rangers and Paragons screaming at others in the party to slow down and help look for the dropped arrows/spears
Edit: Just thought of another one... Anet add "Weight" to weapons and items like in PnP RPGs. Players are suddenly not able to move because they have 30+ gold Armors and weapons from farming in their inventory, not to mention the 10 stacks of Consumables they wanted to use while farming for golds to fill the remaining spaces.

Friendly fire in pve: because I want to c space unload an asuran scan chain on these super high damage 'nukers' in pugs.
Friendly fire in pvp: because it's faster to kill my own team than to get them to type 8 chars for /resign.

I would laugh heartily if they put a 15 second cool down on Shadow Form.

Having to Fix your armor/weapons on a regular basis, the more broken/higher stats, the more it costs lol xD

Removal of fame and rank. Nothing else would come close to the meltdown and tears that this would achieve.

- Monster Skill that changes the dye color of a random piece of your armor

You have to goto a blacksmith and repair them.

Adding in "real life" aspects to the game, such as:
- You tire/become exhausted as you run around, forcing your character to walk and ultimately have to take a rest. Say bye-bye to runners and hello to 5 million-hour long dungeons!
- Your energy depletes and you have to revitalize it through the food and alcohol items, or else you are forced to exhaustion.
- You tire from using weapons/face mental exhaustion as you spell cast, etc.
There was a game I played that did that, and I seriously found that SO ANNOYING when I had to stop and eat bread/drink water every five seconds as I tried to navigate through dungeons, or I became sluggish and weak as I swung my sword too many times and the boss would annihilate me, etc.

SMG, Shotgun, Assault Rifle, Sniper Rifle. And I'm good to go.
Master Fuhon
Non-consenting player combat and skill usage in outposts using PvP versions of skills. You could attack bots, farmers, any person who didn't accept you into a group, AoE the people grouping around Xunlai, Cripple Shot train people trying to get to merchants.
Voodoo Rage
Z-rank of a certain rank now knocks people down in outposts.
Darth The Xx
Allowing people to jump, this would screw up every PvP format ever as they would now be filled with jumping retards! (For a case study see -> WoW)

All drops updated to the new standard.
You'll hear me laughing from wherever you live.
It would go: "Finally! Mwa-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-haw!"

Have *all* skill titles be taken literally by the game.
"Death's Charge" - Running up to the enemy, but dying on contact.
"Animate Shambling Horror" - A necro trying to cheer up a depressive Horror minion.
"Falling Spider" - A sin holding a spider on a string over the head of the foe.
Paragons actually audibly voicing chants and shouts.
You get the idea.

Raven Wing
an idea for april fool 2011:
Random plasma storms hitting all around, in any map: Makes any armor containing ectoplasma (obsi and chaos gloves) visually crumble and disintegrate, and disappear from your inventory. Once you get to an outpost you will have one of this small boxes that normally contain unpicked loot offering the armor back to you.
It could be accompanied by some fake update announcement telling about Anets strategy of "improving" the ecto market by making players spend their stored ecto.
If someone reads an update announcement that clearly states "Updates of April 1st" and then panic sells all their ectos to buy armbraces or rare minis they SO deserve to be laughed at

Friendly Fire: Angry mob of monsters runs to your group. Elementalist on your team casts inferno and Bed of Coals. Half your team dies from the damage. All of a sudden Fire Eles are soooo not wanted in teams.
Gender specific traits. Female warriors can't cause as much damage with their sword/axe/hammer as the males can. Any weapon over a certain size/weight can't be wielded by female characters. On the other hand, female assassins are nimbler and able to avoid damage better than males and female characters get better prices from the merchants and traders.
All titles offer tangible benefits.
- 100% Cartographers can run faster in the campaigns they've achieved the title in.
- Max Lucky offers higher chance of gold drops from foes.
- Unless Unlucky is also maxed.
- Legendary Guardian unlocks "Hell Mode" for all missions. Same as hard mode except no henchies allowed and no consumables or PVE skills. Special drops for Hell Mode only.
- Legendary Vanquisher unlocks "Hell Mode" for explorables.
- Legendary Skill Hunter allows 2 Elites on your bar
- Legendary Survivor gives +100 hp.
- LDoA unlocks Hard Mode for Pre
Hmmm, actually I think i'd kinda like Hell Mode.

Crimson Robes
All drops including those from chests are unassigned and the 1st person to pick them up gets them.

Separation of skills into PvP and PvE versions.

You become diseased if you stay in the same armor for too long.
To make the armor not cause disease, you have to submerge yourself in a body of water.

Codex rules for PvE.
* Each team is only allowed to bring one profession per group (oh no, we need 2 monks!)
* Elite skills from the codex are only available to the primary profession. (no scythe sins)
* No PVE skills
* Protector's Defense, Armor of Sanctity, Symbols of Inspiration, and Visions of Regret are on the restricted list, therefore will never be available.
* changes four times daily.

Friendly fire. 
And everything else in this thread.

Friendly fire is a pretty good idea imo.

Friendly fire was what I was thinking of too

Removal of collision. Good idea in theory, but the game can't do it properly.

Broken builds, here they come! SY spam and KD lock downs on the go!
I can imagine all the rage faces and such coming out of it. This, would make me laugh.
