Maybe with the consecutive and repeating symbols, but all the other requirements definitely dont decrease the password strength.

The hackers have a much smaller list of possible passwords since there are so many restrictions

Without physical access to the server it's pretty hard to brute force passwords. Even if you're able to get around security measures. The network latency forcing you down to 10 or so attempts per second makes it nearly impossible to crack.
