Not correct, Steve. If you look at the official posts for events, both the Pirate event and the Swoop event are listed as open for characters over level 20 (https://www.swtor.com/info/in-game-events).
THE ALL WORLDS ULTIMATE SWOOP RALLY
MARCH 22ND - 29TH, 2022 (BEGINS AND ENDS AT 12:00PM GMT) LEVEL: Level 20+
In 6.0 I did the events numerous times on characters under level 70, and was always sync'd up appropriately. In addition, I often used the daily quests on Dantooine as a distraction from the level grind on lower level characters. I was always sync'd to 70. For events that have been long advertised and worked properly for lower level characters in 6.0, this is an unwelcome change, especially since events often provide a fun distraction from the normal leveling process.
If this is an intentional change, it would be nice for the developers to acknowledge this and at least give the community a reason why lower level characters are now effectively blocked from 2 events (completely blocked from the Pirate event as you can't complete any quests against level 70 enemies, and blocked on 2 planets of the Swoop event).
