Diadem wasnt fixed until Shadowbringers. And I say fixed very loosely because its still relatively dead, since most of the skybuilder rewards are purchasable via the marketboard.

I know I never played this game till Shadowbringers but Ive heard stories from a few friends whom were veterans of this game since 1.0 and everytime they hear people overly praise Heavensward they roll their eyes at the statement since a lot of its content and features were implemented very poorly; even worse than what we say about EW features such as IS, Eureka Orthos and Variant/Criterion.

Heck it was the expansion where it almost KO'd the raiding scene and the job balance was extremely sloppy with many jobs such as Paladin and White Mage being non-viable in raiding.

Even parts of the story was underwhelming; like how they quickly concluded the whole aftermath of the Bloody Banquet; where everything pretty much returned to status-quo. No lasting repercussions from the Ul'dah side and the only person we lost from it for good was Minfillia.
