It's always been virtually automatic. I think the conversion rate was 90-95% even in the 60s. Now it's 95-100%. This is finding something to complain about. Football has genuine issues... this is not one of them.
The easiest, most logical fix, if you had to change it, is to just eliminate the kick , let the team have 7 points for a TD, don't waste time with the kick that will be made probably over 99% of the time.
And if you want to go for 2, you lose the automatic point, and get either 6 or 8 points depending on if you convert.

pretty much where I stand. It risks the players to injury for something that is the closest thing to automatic in football.

XP sure wasn't pointless in 2013 when ASU played UA and blocked two of them to win the game... Sure wasn't pointless when Romo fumbled the snap and the 'Boys lost... Etc etc etc

This would be the best "change". Of course, the only thing you would accomplish is save a few seconds watching the kick. You didn't really affect the game at all.
So, if the objective is to speed up the game by a minute or two, then fine. You've accomplished your objective. More than likely, you had no real objective to start with and are "fixing" something that really isn't broken.
