When did I say I wouldn't help newbies? Here, let me back track a bit. I will no longer be queuing up for this for selfish reasons. Is that better?
Why should we queue it? Why would someone be selfish to say that they wont run a content anymore that could take hours to complete? People dont have unlimited amount of time and the main reason to run the roulette was probably the exp/tomes. Why should they still run it when this might be worse? We are not a charity. I am playing a game to have fun and if its fun to help newer players through content well then you can still do that. But a lot of time people run these things because they get something out of that. Its not our job to help people through (which I still did more than enough in my old FC) and its not our fault that they designed two main story dungeons with such a huge amount of cutscenes.
It is all on SE side. They decided to create them and they decided to use that solution instead of making it into something newer players can truly enjoy. They dont punish us with that. They just punish the newer ones. But its not our job to help them through this. Its SEs job to find a good solution and not something like that.

Letter from the Producer LIVE Part IX Q&A Summary (10/30/2013)
Q: Will there be any maintenance fees or other costs for housing, besides the cost of the land and house?
A: In older MMOs, such as Ultima Online, there was a house maintenance fee you had to pay weekly, but in FFXIV: ARR we decided against this system. Similarly, these older MMOs also had a system where your house would break down if you didn’t log in after a while in order to have you continue your subscription, but this is a thing of the past and we won't have any system like that.
This is a problem beyond msq though. 50/60 queue currently offers zero incentive for many people to do it, because we have no relic making verity and poetic tomes near worthless. Stuff like Guildhests are worthless too for 70s. A lot of the reason people did older content was really the relic, since you needed an absurd level of tomes to complete it. They are going to need to look at older content overall and evaluate it, because this just increases as time passes. I see ppl in PF looking for stuff like antitower or other basic things cause they wait so long in individual queue.
Idk I do 50/60 a few times a week just to break up the monotony on leveling from 50-61 and even on dps my queues are under 10 mins which is far far faster than expert or any lvl 70 content outside of Rabanastre on a Tuesday. So I wouldn't say its near dead. I have noticed a lot of ppl will have a dungeon up on PF, I will queue 50/60, get that exact dungeon and when I leave they are still in PF 1/4. So maybe they are trying to set up a pt just because they will think its long or have been told its the better way to complete it /shrug
