You bring up a valid point, I originally started a combat character (Marksman) and got him to a pretty high level, but I got tired of the missions really being the same task over and over - so I started an Entertainer character. I hope they will give the game some more feeling to it, I feel like there is no struggle at all (In fact it almost feels like peacetime with the occasion shooting). I am hooked though...
There is a simple fact that comes with making games (Or pretty much anything for that matter). You can't please everyone all the time! SWG was created to please a certain group of people (Mainly those looking for a community based game, NOT combat!). I feel that it does this quite well, the game has a good community set up which scares away some of the "l33t d00dz" because people tend to find them annoying, but it attracts some players who are willing to start a character and play it out.
The game will change over time, they always do (It's only been out a month, how long has EQ been out?). I am not saying that the game is perfect, it does have it's flaws (Capping is way too easy and quick). But the simple fact of the matter is that you can't please everyone all the time.
