Well yeah, that's called level correction and you more than likely died because of Heavy. Dangerous areas even for capped off players, not just because you're 9720 levels under the monster.

Actually, no, I wasn't on a mount. I have also died (mountless) in Sorrel Haven when I was low level. Heavy is irritating, not necessarily deadly. I can only guess that folks who never died in the open world either didn't explore at all while they were leveling or power leveled their way to 50 in a very short amount of time. ^^
