Yeah, I agree. I've been doing all of ARR's 2.x optional stuff, so Big Fishing, EX (minil, no echo), every dungeon in order of unlock, the relic weapon (lol, grind!) and beast tribes.

It's pushed me all the way to, I think level 67? Every encounter in ARR zones is trivial, and I have a glut of new skills but no actual chance to use any of them properly, because I'm getting them for content that I can't use them on (everything syncs down to 50) and ARR mobs die so fast that I can't use the new crap in a rotation anyway. By extension, now when I get to Heavensward and grab level 51 gear, I'll find the overworld questing entirely trivial there too I assume.

This might not be an issue for those who multi-class, but I just kept myself as Dragoon this time around and it just all adds up. It's a bit silly really. Oh, and because I own the expansions, but haven't unlocked them yet, my gathering/provisioning demands I get items from HW zones, even though I'm in ARR. =/
