The number bloat thing aside (yeah it seems crazy) I really wish they had an option you could check (or a slider) so that all mobs would scale up to your level (or your level minus 1). So if you overlevel an area instead of being 3 levels over them, you could have them either scale to your level or maybe just 1 level below.
I had the same problem when I played D:OS EE - I vastly out leveled areas and the combat stopped being fun.
