They said they would be reworking the diadem content to use it for the Restoration. In no way did that imply, considering past reworks, that they would flat out remove the stuff obtainable from the old Diadem and make it impossible to obtain. There is no way anyone would have expected this, especially going by what they have done in the past.

They are a mount, a minion, and I'm fairly certain the only gear from Diadem were technically formless or whatever. Correct me if I'm wrong. Plus, I don't think enough people were running those to get those mounts/minions? And I think there was a tiny Broncheosaur? Once more, correct me if I'm wrong.

In total, there was the Pegasus mount, pegasus minion, brachiosaurus minion, the entirety of the sky rat gear (very cool looking gear btw) and the associated diadem-only mats required to craft it, the Coven weapons (which they *just* added gnb and dnc weps too for some reason), the Notorious Monster Slayer title, and 230 achievement points total. Not to mention the actual content itself, which was an entirely new map, loads of unique mobs, fates and NM's (the brachiosaurus NM fate is something any FF fan should want to experience), and the Emergency Mission with Buer and all his craziness. All of this will be gone in FOUR DAYS with no warning to the playerbase to do anything about it. Nothing minor about this and anyone who is upset is justifiably so.

I think most people assumed when the mention of Diadem being used for Ishgard was dropped, that at least some of the above would become more accessible and new players would be given a chance to experience and obtain it come 5.1. A lot of us planned to wait until 5.1 to have another crack at the Diadem goals we never finished or started. To suddenly be told that it is the exact opposite and it's all being taken away immediately, honestly, beggars belief.
