Final Fantasy XI took it to the extreme and made things very hard to achieve

nothing in ffxi was hard to get. Just took long to get. But with time you will eventually get it.

leveling from 1-14 is still "work" so yes you are still earning raise.
Not everyone levels in ffxiv the same way. And even still who parties @ 14? I have never seen any party only shouts from 1 person every 4 days on a raptor party @ 48. It is a raise spell meaning you will target someone.
1-10 in ffxi = 1-20 in ffxiv.
