Really this is just a reflection of the attitude you bring to the table Duo. I have joined so many runs of content that will provide me literally no benefit
Guess what? That isn't the general mentality of the playerbase, hence why SE makes these kind of changes in the first place. As much as people love to give Duo ****, he does have a point in the general sense:
In any MMO ever the developer has to provide incentive for people to help those behind or stuck, unless you're not human, it's very hard to deny this fact. Even in real life people expect incentive or compensation for their help. Very few do it out of the "kindness of their hearts." So for example, why would you help if you literally get no benefit for it? Poetics and Soldiery? You can get MORE for FAR LESS work.

Here's an example for you. The FC
You say Duo brings a type of attitude, yours seem to be focused around FC - He's talking about the general playerbase. If everyone has a FC they can do stuff with all the time, PF wouldn't exist. DF would not be across the entire set of servers in a Datacenter cluster. Think the larger picture - the reason SE makes certain changes to begin with.

So tell me again how it is "pointless"
It's pointless if you're like the general player that still wants rewards or incentives for helping someone - If you feel otherwise, please list out any MMO where everyone is more than happy to help any player they see struggling no matter their progression position and no matter if it's someone new begging for money or items or a veteran trying to do outdated content.
I bet you hop at the chance to help people shouting for/PF for Titan Ex, huh?
