This reeks of someone trying to justify how they've chosen to invest their time.
I'm not sure what your friend means by "tough". I'm not even sure why it should be an esteemed goal to be a "tough" gamer. I also don't see why your friend believes that he needs a certain community to shape his attitude and skills. Nor do I see how being willing to invest more time to get the same thing done should be a virtue (this game has a serious grind issue).
I can't imagine a significant difference between how tough a server makes you, unless you specifically choose not to motivate yourself. I can possibly see the argument when you're talking about a mid rate or higher, but it's not like 5x rates make this game easy or reasonable in terms of length.
EDIT: Wow, this forum has weird thread necromancy.
