1. A new PvP mode, to replace the current. Conquest does not work and never will; I know Anet spent a lot of serious thought on it and a ton of development time, and was super careful not to make the mistakes they made in GW1 by adding in too many skills and maps. But that mode will never allow for build diversity, strategic depth, or encourage skilled play; nor will any map where the win condition caters to a single strategy and role type.
My suggestion: Add two new objectives to each map, mobile control objectives, and kill zones, and give all three equal point gain potential. The game mode is still based on the meta-win condition of map control, but there are more ways of controlling the map sitting on point and refusing to die for as long as possible.
2. Revamp of defense, dodge needs to be less prevalent but more rewarding for those times when you do use it. Most players are not ‘good’ because they are terrible at GW2’s defense system, and they are so because the defense system is not the least bit compelling or enjoyable.
My suggestion: Make dodge in to a slotted ability, a unique set of three per class like heal and elite skill. Not only evasion, but also block, shields, and invulnerability. These skills will scale off of the existing defensive stats of toughness and vitality in how much damage they can prevent.
Other than those two, there are too many that really need to be in the game. I’ll narrow down a third later.
