Here's one thread:
ArkonisMaximus: What is being done to better the combat/targeting system?

Helios_SOE: Auto-aiming is making a comeback to SWG. You'll have a choice between manual aiming (the way it is now) and auto-aiming (classic MMO targeting).

And this:
Topeiv: When will pub 30 be released, and what info would you give us on the expertise system for jedi and bounty hunter?

the_neri: Chapter 2/Pub 30 is coming this summer and check out the comlinks the next couple of fridays to get details on Jedi and Bounty Hunter specifics. Expect Jedi and Bounty Hunter stuff on the Test Center mid to late July

sorry bout that i mis-read i thought it was this friday but looks like next couple of fridays

[Lezaro]

thanks for posting it, and it sounds like they need to bring "Miss" back into the game

[Neek]

Looks like they are slowly going to the way it was before I'd be curious to see what it looks/feels like now but I can pretty much tell you now how it would be

"Wow, only 4 hours of updates to download, i can finally logon"
"There we go! I'm on"
"Ah, I missed my bunker, damn it was sweet"
"Ok, let's turn on teh saber and kill something"
"Ah, sweet sound"
- neek kills a few things around dantooine
"Ok, i'm bored now"

[eoro]

you'd have to do a lil grinding first neek =)

like the geo's, dwb, musty most of those mob's are lvl 80-90's now. I am ready to see my ole 6 legged buddy in the geo's again lol

[Neek]

I refuse to grind, period.

[Mobus]

You do it in WoW. It's just more fun there.

[Ehrgeiz]

If they added quests like wow has that oh I don't know are not bugged it would be more fun. I'm so bored with everything right now though I am thinking about re-installing swg.

[Oseh]

w00000t now THATS the kind of talk i wanna hear!!!! /pointat Ehrgeiz

[Neek]

Well, grind is the long, boring hours of killing the same things over and over and over and over again just because devs are too lazy to come up with fun quests.

When I started to do quests on Mustafar, I had the time of my life. I was finally USING my jedi to get cool rewards while having fun. then, when they introduced the 10 more levels and the only way to get there was to get laggy beetle quests and do that 500 times, it was too much. Couldn't even have fun for a month after all that grinding (and i was fortunate enough to do part of it afk).

Yeah, you do need to kill a whole lot of stuff in WOW to get to 60, but at least they make it more fun with quests. In the end, it's always one of a limited number of things

A) Go kill me x amount of this
B) Go kill those untill you get me x amount of this
C) Go talk to that guy right there
D) Take this to that guy right there

There are so many possibilities so at some point, yeah, you'll do the same thing you did before. I mean, you'll never have a quest like "Can i bum a smoke", or "can you scratch my back". But with WoW, you'll never be forced to take a stupid repeatable quest for 10 entire levels!
