Long combats with too much bookkeeping (marking, zones, status conditions, etc.) -- keep the flavor but streamline the "process" part.  [Well-designed accessories could help a lot, even with no rule changes.]2. Flavorful +1 magic items cast aside for vanilla +2s -- eliminate static bonuses on magic items and add even more flavor.3. Too hard to make PCs that match character concepts (at least, all the players in my group believe this) -- loosen up multi-classing a bit, add more feats that allow cross-class feature use.4. At-will powers are boring -- add more at-will powers, give characters more than 2 at Level 1, make at-wills more customizable without feats, e.g. at the time of the attack a character using Footwork Lure can choose to push 2, slide 1, or knock prone (save to avoid) [Please don't quibble, this is just an example of the idea.]5. Rituals need some work.  I'll leave tweaks up to the designers.6. Rename "residuum" to "residium" because that's what everyone says anyway.  (Given a choice, I would teach people how to read phonetically, but that doesn't seem to be practical.)</blockquote>
