Solo flashpoints are left at level and you get scaled down to the level of the flashpoint. Same with the open world, player stats and levels are synced down making the planet feel like its level appropriate and you don't just breeze through one shotting things.

Veteran mode (normal) opens up flashpoints at level 15 and bolsters everyone to level 80. Lower level players tend to hit harder than higher level players due to lower gear levels and having less skills so they get bolstered higher. That said swtor is also more generous than ffxiv when it comes to giving out skills. Granted they redesigned progression in 7.0 so you get way less than you used to, but in general your core class skills are handed out by level 15 and the later levels are mostly passives and buffs.

That said, the rest of swtor 7.0 is hot garbage and it makes me sad because I loved swtor....but the new level sync system is fantastic imo. Granted some people hate it because of they don't like the "loss of power" and being unable to solo world bosses, but I think its great.
