What was they thinking when they did variant dungeons and criterion

[DPZ2]

I was both stunned and underwhelmed when I saw the state of the rewards for Variant/Criterion dungeons. I was even more shocked that there were some who defended this "because its something new they're trying" as if that was any sort of acceptable excuse.

This must be corrected with all haste, even adding crafting mats to the rewards in a hotfix or 6.28 would be preferable to leaving this content to rot until 6.45.

The reason: Diadem 1.0

That's all you need to know.
