Please don't ever, EVER simplify this game
I agree, simplification is a game killer and I am already worried about this new ascended gear they are going to implement. What i talk about is that the ring you can get had ALL stats on it in similiar proportions. I hope Anet will never make any more items like this.
From other suggestions I am agree with all but the story viewing. Why? Because the story is linear beyond belief, it is so straightforward and boring that it’s dipressing even. Whatever optinos you chose the result will always be the same, everyone is the commander and a good friend of Trihaern (or whatever the name of that emo plant), everyone is good, brave and flawless hero. Screw that. Rather add tool for roleplayers that would allow to write your own information in it and let others see it.
I am not sure about new race, I would like to have them but I think some other things are priority IMO. I would prefer to have choice for new quest chains / personal stories to be selected after completing original one.
Look here some ideas

(it is long explanation but worth every word in it)
I thouroughly agree, I made a topic about it myself suggesting certain things I think some of you may find interesting stuff inside. Not much of bumping, I don’t like doing that but some ideas may need emphasis.
For example I’m sick of possibility of constructing my own Golem as an Asura and summon it in battle.
Exploring locations in order to find sacred places to commune with the spirits of Tyria in order to better understand the nature and get its blessing being a Sylvari? That could be cool.
