Be careful what you ask for! The last major "unnecessary" feature to be removed in the name of increasing performance was per-character achievements, which has been, to put it mildly, controversial.

I love it XD, the unnecessary part is controversial, the improve performance part is not

Companions

Dungeons, Trials and PvP so people wont waste time on weird things and will play the new card game instead.

Tbh this thread is destined for the lock. While it is a legit question, already it's turned into a "I hate X, so let's scrap it, because even if it doesn't help, I won't miss it".

On my list would be all costumes and cosmetics, all mounts except horses, fishing, the psijic order, the whole housing system, necromancers as a class, festivals/events, anything with the word 'daily' in it. There's probably more, but that's a good start.
So, let's just get rid of those. If it doesn't help performance, no harm done eh?!

Nothing. You will always find *someone* who finds this or that necessary.

The General Chat forum

If someone can list PvP, then I pick combat pets. A nuisance for others and a crutch for them.

Mandatory 4 new dungeons and 2 new zones per year are going to kill the game eventually, with over a 100 useless sets and motifs. I wish this development effort was spent on improving existing sets / motifs and fixing current game problems.

I agree that this is adhered to a bit too stringent. Especially the number of sets, there comes a point where you run out of meaningful variations.

Ice staff aggro. Variety is good i guess, but does anybody even use it? Never seen that myself

They're adding more fluff every time now so gl. If I'd have dev superpowers I'd just cut non combat pets, companions, card games etc which have nothing to do with actual combat gameplay I've enjoyed personally. Some people already suggested to cut things I love so have no shame in listing lol.

I will start with one of the most useless features: dungeon finder ready check.

It was implemented because people complain about folks being afk. Problem is an addon that auto-accept, completely render ready check useless, so I still often get people go afk for 5-10 minutes.

My suggestion is just get rid of the ready checks

As someone who has seen many folks not 'ready' or deline instantly and then had to go through another round in order to get those people, I think the ready check is a GOOD thing. Nobody really wants to land in a dungeon with a person who is absent and go part way through before you kick them because someone wants to 'give them a chance' to show up. Most often it's DPS probably because they are in the queue for so long that they do other things or step away. Without the ready check that person would get in the dungeon and still be 'away' but those there would then need to kick if they chose to do so or more accuratley can get the vores.. it's tedious. It's annoying. It's better with the ready check than not. I have been in groups where a person has been offline through the first and second boss and I still cannot get people to kick them so we could TRY to get someone to fill the role.

Furthermore, I find that getting that role filled once in the dungeon is a lot harder than I remember. I'm not sure if the dungeon finder is bugged, but I have finished dungeons without getting that person. I have had them show up at the end on the last boss. Unless it's a long dungeon, odds of filing that role seems slim these days. Even when it is a DPS. Even during what one would think is a busy time. So frankly, it seems better to start with a full group than make the odds in the favor of having two players in a dungeon.
