So... If Diadems are effectively being removed, how are we supposed to get the crafting mats from Trials of the Matron? And on that note, why were we not informed of this change earlier?

This also means that the Pegasus mount and Unicolt minion will no longer be obtainable, along with some glamour gear. Am I right?

First the Garo discontinuation, then the 1500 required commendations for battle mentor, and now this. To tell the truth, 5.1 will be the first major update of this game - ever - that I am actually dreading.
