Off topic, maybe. The thing is, even in E6 a character advances as normal until they hit 6th level. Fact remains, play by the rules of E6 or not, that 8th level Fighter you mentioned is still a legend amongst his peers.
For a bit of ground to stand on here, most non-player characters in Eberron (which on its own is mostly a low level campaign setting) are 3rd level or under, and the higher in levels you get the fewer people you meet of your own level. An 8th level Fighter in any setting is a force to be reckoned with.
Edit: So, uh, my point is that an 8th level Fighter is a high level, even though to most people it's still pretty low ("That's not even halfway to 20, how could he POSSIBLY be powerful?" Well, let's count the things this guy can slay single-handedly and what kind of crazy crap he can survive...)
