This is why Hardcore Content SUCKS.

[Aistaraina]

No, I think they deserve to get it sooner... Just like what happened last night. They worked for it hardcore-like.

It would be patently absurd to lock casuals out of any content in the game, period. That's akin to discrimination.

Does Square Enix wanna get dragged to civil court~? (That is a joke.)

So a casual player, who plays a couple times a week for 2-3 hours deserves an Adaberk before a hardcore player who end games every day? Get real.

It is not absurd. Give the casuals gear, but it certainly shouldn't be as good as the hardcore end game gear.
