It requires a serious overhaul, closer to getting something like 4E, not to something like 3.75, that can stay mostly compatible with 3E.We always have to keep in mind that Pathfinder has certain goals that restrict what you can do. One goall is to retain the 3E compatibility, and another might be not to alienate fans of 3E. They seem to try to change a part of this with the new slot affinities. I am not convinced that this will work, since most of the "Big Six" are AC boosters, and it doesn't help all classes. It might shift a stronger focus to buff spells, though.Oh, I haven't seen enough of MIC in action to see that problem. I suppose there is little one can do about it..Arcana Evolved tries to change spells (in a good way, IMO), Iron Heroes tries to remove magic items (this might go too far for standard D&D). Iron Heroes also gives you villain classes for improving handling of monsters. MMV seems to improve on monsters (though I really don't know how they stack up CR-wise. I my group, we joke the effective CR of a monster is its listed CR + Monster Manual Number, possibly plus 1d6.)None of this looks like little work. Who knows, maybe designing classes that are more fun is actually the most important thing for Pathfinder? Paizo wants to sell its adventure modules, and badly designed monsters or difficult to create monsters don't pose a big problem if the adventure comes pre-statted with them, complete with tactical advice, and possibly play-tested to avoid bad problems.</blockquote>
