As a former hardcore player in FFXI this is really easy to answer: Yes.

In fact, the less hardcore players put in much less time to get the same reward, they just don't get them as quickly. I think Square Enix has evolved and has made FFXIV a much better game by doing just as you are complaining about. After FFXI, I got a life and now I get to play a game as a busy, casual, doing irl grown-up stuff -- without being perpetually punished for it like I was in FFXI.
