The combat balance comes with publish 10 so we should see it in July - it's set for july 29 currently
We'll be very lucky if that's the case.
Hey, have a little faith in the devs - we can always believe what they tell us...

You can sit here and say that all these things are wrong. You can point out all the flaws you want. But, as Efia said, if you weren't having fun then you wouldn't keep coming back.
I keep coming back because I am the PA leader and have a lot of friends. Those are the things that keep me here.
I do find things to do and I do occassionally have fun. However that does not mean there could not be drastic improvements that would make it fun all the time. The advantage for the publishers of these games is that leaving is not as simple as giving up your stuff, it also means abandoning all the relationships you have formed.
Seiryuu raised a good point. Being active in a guild, with online friends, I often find myself logging in just to see how they are all doing. In some cases, I don't even move my character from where it's standing. Some days I'll join a group hunt, but those are probably as much social events as they are anything else. What's making that fun is the group, not the rinse and repeat missions.
They've wasted time implementing the virtually undoable death watch bunker. Did they really think that placing two dozen super battle droids @256K Ham plus 100 other high level mobs was going to create a fun experience? What game was the dev team looking at when they came up with that?
Far as the rebalance and publish goes, #9 is just happening so #10 will be 6+ weeks away, probably in August. It is now unclear that the rebalance will be in #10 or in #11. There's unclear publish notes and seems to be some shifting from one to the other.
