That said I love this game though it needs a lot of work to appeal long term to the various factions (PVPers, MMO players, Star Wars fans, Bioware fans and Hardcore Raiders). I really think it needed 6 more months of development to be an absolutely fantastic game.

At least Bioware is aware that the game is lacking certain MMO features and is taking steps to correct the game. Patch 1.2 is where I think the game should have launched.
With intelligent level/gamedesign you could offer both - no real need to decide between casuals prefering small distances or others who like to have a long distance travel.
Imagine you have a guild, there will always be people who love to travel (Like I do), imagine sending out two for the journey, when they reached a far off continent and discover a taxi station and unlock it, or send a shuttle back to get your guildies, or activate a temporary quicktravel station... so many possibilties.

I don't see what you mean. If by "feeling enclosed" you mean the worlds are linear then yes I agree.

RvR (such as it is) is being removed (and mothballed for the foreseeable future) in 1.2.
Real Star Wars space combat please, not Star Wars Fox! Maybe some PvP and flight too?

Negative: what it is, is what people will pay for. OP is right, devs should listen.
