Really SE? why? why? why?

Best solution to the problem would be to just completely undo the addition of all the high-level mobs to the low-level areas entirely.

Seriously, it's stupid. I have never, ever, seen anyone high-level killing (or even skilling up on) the new high level mobs, anywhere (with the possible exception of maybe one or two specific things in one or two zones). For the most part, they are nothing but a stupid annoyance that serves no purpose.

It gave me a way to learn Bloodrake with relative ease. In all seriousness, I spend more time leveling off of these newer high level monsters then I do in parties these days. Less headaches all around.

I agree, and it's even less likely these high mobs in lowbie areas will ever be used by high level characters due to the far, far easier and faster XP rate Abyssea brings.

SE had a reasonable idea when they made this change, sadly though as is often the case, they didn't think it through and subsequent changes makes this obsolete, while at the same time bringing on-going annoyance to lowbies.

They thought it through just fine, they just didn't understand people want XP spoonfed to them, not having to work for it.
