I had more fun levelling mining than my bard. I actually thought it was pretty great. I guess if you go into it, thinking; Oh hey theres a rock, Im gonna mine that! I bet it will be a bit repetitive and there wont be heroic battles, but thats a miners life for you.
Then it will be pretty much what you'll get. - I played a combat class for the heroism and stuff. Mining was for relaxing and going afk in my head. It was tons better than mining in any other themepark Ive played. Unless you just came off your harvesters in SWG, I dont see how this games implementation could be a dissapointment.
