Soo... apparently Diadem has i280 weapons with higher WD than alexandrian/anima lux

Pretty much yeah, because "haters" (I'm going to call them dissatisfied consumers) in this case don't seem to be a minority. The only defence people are giving in defence of i280 are "SB is coming, why do you care?" or "its rare, why do you care?", both of which are weak arguments to a fundamental game design change, and a radical shift to the reward structure. There are very few positives to this, it just depends how much you care (the NA community seems to have a people being angrily vocal about being indifferent lol).

Diadem is neither a radical shift, not a fundamental game design change. You do not need the weapon to clear the current content, nor will it be anywhere close to the top in SB. We are not gods for having one of these. And the raiders did not instantly being ice mages overnight.

No one is going to go through this many layers of rng and grinding for a i275 weapon that doesn't match their class.
