Diadem never existed. It was one of the most failed content in XIV ever. So much that they considered to completely remove it from the game and place the rewards on an NPC with tomestones as a payment.
Diadem arrived dead the 24 man raids is a different story. They decided to throw a super dumb idea on them suddenly for silly reasons only SE knows.
The backlash was too big to ignore and the 24 man raids too important to let fail so they were pretty quick on removing that silly Greed only "feature"
