Please understand that not all players have equal experiences. What may be easy for a Fighter may prove difficult for a Rogue, and vice-versa. What your character finds too easy in the pickin's, may be a terror nightmare for another.
Not all areas are super-hardened for high level characters. Some area's are noob areas, and the monsters just are not as tough. When you're level gets high enough, you will not get the great XP anymore. Some areas with the same creature may be designed to be playable for higher levels and the same (pepped up version) monster will clean your clock. Not all fire beetles are equal.
Also understand that many spawns scale according to levels. So you may also be just about to hit a peak where you'll start getting more difficult versions of the same creatures.
