The way I see it it depends on whether or not the content is still being played and if the systems it has are still serving a function.

If X content was planned as a party activity but then fell off favor and parties don't participate anymore then it should be adjusted for the type of player that does participate in it. In today's XI if old content is being done overwhelmingly by solo and casual players it should be adjusted accordingly. I'm not saying remove mechanics, but adjust them in a way that it is still doable by a player with trusts.

Alternatively if they want the content to remain exclusively relevant for parties then they should add rewards accordingly. Either way the worse outcome is when no one plays the content and all you see are unused spawn points all over the place.
