Personal opinion. Also, you can still receive scaling rewards. But pummeling mobs with 3 skills for 5 minutes is not gameplay. Can't do flashpoints when you want forced group content with scaled gear?

Impying you are not max level by the time you go to your 3rd planet... Making the old content annoying as it is now will make the new players feel baited since this game has been a solo experience for a dacade. Look at most reviews and videos about the game before the change. It's alwasy about the solo friendly and story driven experience. Nobody will come expecting sweaty forced grouping. Might as well kick asll the intoverts that just play this as KOTOR 3 out the door. This game has never felt more frustrating as it it now. Why the F would high-level players need to group with lowbies and need rewards? If there was such an interactions, every second Flashpoint wouldn't have been dead silent with newbies left behind on trash skips. Instead of synching only the instances they synch the openworld too. The most pointless content in any MMORPG without sandbox elements. It's so sad to see people that think this game is anything else than a relaxing side game. No true gamer that plays games for challange or gameplay experience plays this game.
