Lol, name a blobber that did more to innovate and modernize the genre.But its design was already dated when it was just released.
Also, as darth canoli already explained, the scaling in Wiz8 is not modern-crpg scaling. It's just areas having certain set of monsters assigned to them, kinda like what BG2 does. You can still be over- or unerleveled for content, but you can also encounter weird stuff if you break the sequence too much, because Wiz8 allows a lot of freedom and potential retardation that can come with it (like grinding stealth to 100 in the first location).
Even without chameleon/portal spells/portal hubs, you can avoid lots of encounters if you have eyes and a keyboard with a shift key. But if you're someone who buys into "every encounter takes 30 minutes!" and "why are there random respawns, this has never happened in any blobber, ever!?!?!" memes then the best solution is probably to concede that the game is just not for you.
