Besides what has gone before, and paraphrasing Pinky and the Brain- "The same things I wished for in the last 2 editions- fully integrated psionics."
What do you wish was in D&D that isn't?

What I wish was included in the core?
DDI! I'm still waiting for my online ability to DM
More feats. Lots more. Double the amount they have now would be nice.
More power options. I know its coming soon, but I want it now!
Expanded races. I liked 3.x in that I could make any race into a playable one.
More space for abilities on the character sheet.
Stats for Francis!
Yeah, I think thats it.

Better rules for non-combat challenges. Better support for the "yes you can" playstyle.

"Big" stuff, like castles, armies, and flying island rules and rituals.
More "things" in general.

This is going to sound silly and wimpy and girly of me, but I have always wondered why there were no faeries in D&D. We've got pixies and sprites and nixies and all that, but no bone-fide FAERIES. These iconic fey are missing for some reason, and I never could figure out why.

Well, assuming the thread title is referring specifically to what isn't in 4e, I'll have a go (but some will be repeats of things already noted). Most or all of these have appeared in the game at some earlier time.
- Henchmen, in-party hirelings, and-or cohorts
- Secondary skills and-or past professions
- Resurrection survival rolls (i.e. some chance that it does not work)
- Wild magic, chaos mages, spell surges, etc.
- Fumbles in combat
- Spells with range > "touch" requiring a roll for aiming (and that can also fumble)
- Chase rules that make sense
- Naval and aerial combat rules that make sense
- Magic items that don't make sense (e.g. a spoon that gives +1 AC (deflection) to whoever carries it)
- Non-broken polymorph self
- Polymorph other as an offensive act you don't do to your friends
- Deity-specific variants for each divine spell where it would make sense
- A quasi-logical physics for the different types of magical energy (standard, sonic, innate, etc.) and how they work. Yes, this can be done
- Standards for individual or party-based stronghold/temple/lab/guild building, development, and maintenance
- In-game real-life-based pantheons and cultures (Greek, Norse, Mayan, etc.) or guidelines for adopting same
- Guidelines for running long (10+ year) campaigns in a ruleset designed for campaigns that last less than 2 years
There's more, but this'll do for now.

Almost forgot. MtG style pedantic editing, since it's needed now, and they don't have it.small pumpkin man said:
small pumpkin man, you may be the catalyst that is finally letting me crystallize a notion that's been at the back of my head...
3.X = MtG
4Ed = Portal
3.X = MtG
4Ed = Portal
