Story mode per character, sucks for altoholics
…I have done dungeons with characters who mostly have not done the story modes. You need more people for a dungeon; as long as one person in the group has done story mode, you all can do explorable mode. I don’t really see this as an issue – it actually helps new players to have more people to do story mode with, since it gives little to no rewards, and the penalty is so easily avoided that it’s only rarely an issue.

treadmill, of being in that obvious pattern of every time I catch up you are going to
put another carrot in front of me” – Mike O’Brien right before Ascended weapons

True, I did not think about new players. However, adding a global (or region wide) party search and this shouldn’t be a problem.
