Some comments:

• Pistoleers have been broken since RELEASE - wait for the combat balance
• Carbineers have vampiric weapons - wait for the combat balance
• Pikeman have no defenses and can't hit the broadside of a barn - wait for the combat balance
• Commando is a waste of skill points - wait for the combat balance
• Smuggler does not justify it's pre-reqs. - wait for the combat balance
• CHs were nerfed into uselessness - wait for the combat balance
• Mind is the end all be all of combat - wait for the combat balance
• Stun weapons rule PvP - wait for the combat balance
• All armor except ubese & composite are worthless - wait for the combat balance
• The executioner's hack is worse than the scythe - it's post combat balance adjusted
• Lightsaber damage is horrendous - it's post combat balance adjusted
• Manadlorian Armor and RIS suck for resists - they are post combat balance adjusted
• Rifleman is the fastest ranged profession - wait for the combat balance
• Jedi are vulnerable to melee, while immune to ranged - wait for the combat balance
• Some combat professions own, others get owned - wait for the combat balance
• DW bunker is a waste of time - *crickets*
• Corvette is a waste of time - *crickets*

Notice how A LOT of the issues in the game is linked in some how to the combat balance.

Hey DEVs I have few more points for you:

• 2x accounts will NOT be renewed.
• JTL will NOT be purchased
• Another SOE game will NOT be purchased

Should I presume that you are going to add programmers and art folsk to your team so that you can run 7 days a week until this problem is solved, or are you guys just gonna blow off early today and maybe think about making some hard decisions next week. I'm gonna presume that the lack of Dev response right now is due to the fact that you are all in a mega meeting where you are deciding to employ enough people to keep this game moving.

I think they are all sitting in their offices hitting the refresh button reading all of the posts, wondering why they weren't told that this might happen.

Or the fact we haven't gotten a response is most of them are too busy typing up their resumes to even bother looking.

So what will happen between the Jedi Trials (Publish 10, AUGUST) and JTL (Late OCTOBER)? "Integrating the ground game with space." What major changes are in store for us during the 2 months between these events?

Quote from TH:

The development cycle still has momentum and we still have some other important items, big and small, coming out of the pipeline.Here is what still lies ahead:

• 
  
  Before publish 10, we plan on launching the character transfer system


• 
  
  In Publish 9.2 We’re publishing Wookiee armor sets #2 and #3, new crafting quests and the second swoop race


• 
  
  Publish 9.3 will bring us the third swoop race


• 
  
  Publish 10 will be the Jedi Trials.This will be the new gateway to the Jedi profession that will by a mysterious path to unlocking Force sensitivity.


• 
  
  Publish 10.1 is going to bring us an exciting surprise and also a list of Correspondent requests


• 
  
  Publish 10.2 is focused on the entertainers which features a unique new game experience where entertainers, Dancers and Musicians can perform for an NPC audience for the reward of a new song and dance.

Publish 10 is slated for the end of August, but one of the reasons for these delays is to make as much room as possible for extra implementation and testing time.

So basically...you get an exciting surprise 10.1 and new songs and dances 10.2...then you get JTL !
