Which they brought back once. Why would they not? Plus, who is to say they won't bring back the mount in 2 weeks time. Even if it's unobtainable, why is it "I'm scared of" levels of upset when it could still be two weeks from now when we don't know. They could very well bring it back, and even if they don't they could bring back the Moogle event Mk. 3.

Yes, but why get i280 weapons you aren't going to use? And even then, I don't have one and I ran tons of that. The coven weapons are not worth your time. I have no clue why this matters so much. So what if you got one? You can't glamour them onto your weapons or anything, they're just wasting space in a retainer.

I did the math, after getting every item Jehantel has the 230 points you get from these are not needed. They are unnecessary to get every item in the game tied to achievements. If the achievement is gone, then it's gone, goodbye, sayonara. It doesn't matter. It's a footnote of the game. it's a little pat on the back for doing something. Achievement hunters will be sad, but a majority of people won't care. I am with the majority because I don't care.

And, might I ad, tons of people called for it to be deleted then. People were calling for it to be removed for weeks, not caring about any of what you said before this. Why should is suddenly matter now that it's gone for two weeks. Just wait two weeks to see what happens before we start jumping to conclusions here please.

Once more. It's a bloody achievement. It's a bloody thing you pop over your head. Something that people have the option to turn off of all players. Why does it matter? You say all these things but never explain why.

Nobody complained like this the first time it was reworked precisely for this reason.

Oh trust me, there are people who will complain. I mean, most people would be overjoyed to hear Diadem is gone, but all of a sudden I'm seeing people who I thought didn't exist. Why do you care over a pat on the back and weapons that have no value in-game or in-appearance are gone? Why?

Also, nobody complained the first time because nobody cared the first time. Everybody was in agreement that it was the worst content in the game and was prime for removal. Hell, many people believed that "fixing" Diadem was impossible.

I'm not making another long-form response to another Diadem post. This sudden flipping over Coven weapons and achievements feels like it should be parodied in a Garry's Mod video.
