This basically holds true in every zone, with the exception of The Tempest, but even in The Tempest, we can chock that up to the sea creatures that didn't die several moments after being completely deprived of their natural habitat, i.e. the strongest ones.
Also to be fair, if you're a SCH, in the level 80 Job Quest you fight a level 80 Treant in the Shroud, which implies that this one Treant could conceivably solo all of ARR.

Zenos doesn't have to wait to fight us. He could just practice against The Strongest Treant In The World.
