Nerf every powerset to death and make all my toons so overpowered they can one-shot Hami.
Other than that, put the mission creator on as soon as possible. Put a AV/EB creator in there as well!
Also, not forgetting the most important one, remove PvP. 
(I'm joking, you know, right? 
)
The leveling curve - it's ridiculously easy to get to Level 50 these days, so badly, that you outlevel content. What's the point in having content if you just outlevel it?
Debt - put it back to the way it used to be. And I mean the old, OLD debt where if you died, it took ages to get rid of.
Giant Monsters - the old XP they used to give. No one does them these days, I hardly see any use for them other than to make people think "I remember when people used to flock to fight <insert GM here>".
Stupid nerfs and silly things implemented when another more reasonable solution was to be had - e.g. nerfing the Family. That affected everyone, not just the farmers. Instead, why not just put a Level 40 restriction on PI? That would've solved the Family issue and much more. I am not too bothered about that specific example, but its a damn good one.
Thought Id start off negatively. 
EDIT: Since your post just says "No talk about the removal of PvP", I'd like to add this. No nerfs to PvE just for PvP purposes when the PvE majority largely outnumber the PvP minority. This is my opinion though.
Tar and feather me.

I'd like to see more animnated features for our avatars - like hair and faces

The reason why? It would only cause framerate issues.

No no no no no no no no.
If they did that, I would certainly quit the game.

Because 1) It's a city zone, not a hazard zone, 2) Some of us have reasons to take a char that don't involve PLing/farming and 3) Way to alienate players if there's a Rikti raid there.
Me? I'd fix the sit emotes. No more 'sinking' female ledgesit, no useless sittable that doesn't even work properly and separating the ledgesit emotes themselves. And giving female chars equal sit emotes too.

Max: "Me too."
Stuff
Then just put a level 40 min requirement for portal corp itself. A better solution than just all of PI, I think anyway.
Put a timer on all missions used for farming.
I don't see the problem with farming - if people want to do it fine. Actually, I may do it if I need some extra inf. But put these rules to ditch the farmers? Farmer's aren't against the EULA or anything.
If you really don't like farmers, say no to their tells. If you don't like level 1s in Portal Corp, ignore them. That's what I say.
Remove reroll concept
Remove patron power restrictions (which is coming soon so yay)
Add:
-Open world pvp
-PvP rewards
-PvE endgame with scripted encounters that are not static and match the fast paced combat with bosses requiring huge team mobility and different powers in each encounter adjusting the drops accordingly.
-Revamp Hamidon encounter with proper rewards and proper scripting.
-Add Storm blaster set
-Add water blast set
-Add dynamic zonal content creator that will spawn random events with most active zones.
-revamp all open world GM's in a massive quest series of epic encounters with huge rewards
-Revamp Epic hero AT's to match the coolness of VEATS
-Add arena beting system as an alternate income
-Revamp terminals
-Revamp all PvP zones by burning to hell any form of PvE inside them and adding a) upgraded rewards b)capture the flag zone c) king of the hill zone d) domination zone
-Add PvP missions that allow heroes to enter one side and vills to enter the other side and that would be the only allowed zones to have PvP mix with PvE
-Create a secondary level up PvP veteran system that based on reputation (which will be unlocked from 400) unlocks levels of PvP rewards usable only in PvP zones
-Allow dual builds easily changable for PvE-->PvP and vice versa.
-Expand on the combo system to be usable to all sets with a variety of effects.
-Add rush powers to all melee toons with secondary effects such as cripple/slow
-remove all kind of zone loading except for missions maybe
-Add a public quest system related to open world mobs where once u enter a center area within a zone there is a common goal for all those in the area.Public quests have 1-4 stages with each stage a bit hard and final stage being GM encounter.
-Add PvE arena.This tops my list to be honest.PvE time attack where waves of mobs start spawn with each wave harder and bigger.PvE arena tournaments would be awsome.
-Merge hero and villain market
-Allow common salvage/enhancement storage shared between all toons
-Allow all enhancements to be removed after respec.
Thats it i think.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion to be honest.This thread aint about farming and its unfair to open that can of worms again for the 1000th time.
I think an Arena betting system might be open to abuse just a little bit

Depends what you mean.The betting system doesnt reward money from within the game but from the players.
player A and player B decide to fight.10 players rush to arena and place a bet each on either A or B.2 players win they split the rewards from the rest.Players A or B get nothing out of it since the only reward for them comes from Arena.
Now this can be abused only if someone losed deliberately to make someone lose his inf/cash.But then he loses on arena rewards.Plus no PvP prefers to lose.This aint Las Vegas gambling.
Besides there are faster ways to make inf rather than lose a PvP match on purpose.

Level 1 vs level 50, no level limits? Sounds pretty fast to me
You could get a whole SG doing a rotation system of thrown matches and massive bets

An SG doing rotations for what?To transfer inf between them?
Also have you ever used the arena?Go have a look.
I am wasting typing here because you are having another "blonde" moment or you just not bother read as usual.
Arena system was intended originally to include Influence and XP betting.
And maybe the reason they dropped it was because it'd be very easy to exploit
I could set up a match, bet a million Inf, invite a level 1 to fight, and share the winnings - it'd be over in a few secoinds, then we'd just do it again and again - they'd have to cap the amount you could bet, but it'd probably have to be so low to avoid bet exploiting that it'd be too low to interest anyone.

I simply want it because It will be annoying to them.
Just as their tells are even if my search comment says does not fill(Hi Luke).
More costume parts and patterns!
I'd probably scrap either Atlas Park or Galaxy City, or combine them into the one starting zone - just so everyone starts off in the same place. You split up enough as it is in the later levels, with many of the zones being the same level range as each other; might as well at least bung everyone together from the start.
Overhaul the AI by creating a number of different behaviour profiles so that all spawns don't behave in exactly the same way. Make some mobs taunt resistant to introduce a more active off-tanking role for Scrappers.
-Add Pistol Primary to blasters.
-Add Pistol epic power pool to scrappers.
-Add spear power set to melee ATs.
-Add shield power set to melee ATs. (hopefully that is coming soon)
-Give us the mission creator but make it brilliant and with the ability really customise everything, including create our own EBs, so we can make arcs with recurring villains.
-Make PvP zones global, meaning when I enter the zone it takes me to one with people from Virtue and Defiant, kind of like the system WoW BGs have, that would be grand.

yes to this

thats waht energy blast was in the early days.

yes to this as well. Being a second rate blaster/tank/scrapper is kind of anoying.
As to the pvp things. If you wanted full free zonal pvp it would have to be along the eve lines. with much more active npc policing and full safe zones with no pvp. Maybe even a goodness/evilness scale so heroes could enter villan zones if they hand done alot of stuff against arachnos and villans could enter some hero sones aslong as they hand't done too many bank jobs or taken out too many longbow.
Difficult to impliment, but would be a nice CoX2 feature. It works well in eve.
