This is because the original version of the game was much more "low fantasy" than the direction it's taken since A Realm Reborn. A lot of 1.0 players like myself had that lingering impression and I was well into 2.0 before I realized that there'd been a dramatic shift.
At this point it's apparent that aether gives skilled people superpowers. 2.55 cut-scenes and the Dragoons in the Heavensward trailer confirm it. It's actually going against the lore to argue that characters can't accomplish superhuman feats with the right skill, training, and experience.
EDIT: This doesn't mean "low fantasy, low power RP" is wrong. There's plenty of low-powered people in the setting and characters portrayed by Rpers, myself being one of them. It's just wrong to insist that no one should be able to do these things.
