Trade: Auction house type system is a must. One of the problems with Diablo 2's current system is that only super-high-level items are worth trading. I can't begin to count how many low-level unique items or Isenheart set pieces I just vendored because they weren't worth bothering with. This seems like a massive waste of time, both on the player's part (because they got a low-level item that they probably won't need and can't get any use out of) and on Blizzard's part (for spending time/money/effort making the concept, art, and stats for an item that will just go unused). Offering an easy, in-game way of selling these items to lower-level characters in exchange for money (or whatever else) would be a GREAT change in this regard.
PVP: Not to rip off WoW too much, but I think a battle-ground-esque system, where Guilds could fight each other (by the way there REALLY needs to be an official in-game guild system this time, complete with guild halls and such, pretty pretty please with sugar on top?) would be awesome. Part of the reason ganking was so rampant in D1 and D2 was, I think, because the options for team PVP were somewhat limited. It was worse in D1, since there was basically a switch that went between "attack no one" to "attack everything", but even in D2 there was just a system where different parties could be in the same game and could attack each other; there wasn't much of a "venue" for it. A battle-ground-esque system (note the repeated emphasis on "esque"; I'm really not suggesting we rip off WoW here) would be an excellent addition to the game.
And lastly, even though it's not relevant to the contest: PLEASE BRING BACK THE HIDDEN! They were one of the cooler monsters in Diablo 1, what with the invisibility and retreating to slowly regenerate and all. They were the first unit in the earlier "dungeon tileset" levels where you had to start thinking more tactically about how to defeat them, and there really wasn't anything quite like them in Diablo 2. I think they deserve to be brought back in D3.
