Is that as in;
This week we got.
Ares' 35
Ares' 25 and Ares' 15
Or;
This week we finally got the Ares' 35 to finish Mr. X's Ares' of which he got the 25 for 2 months ago. Following this we got his 15 the following day.
(Mr. X from Streets of Rage btw

As in, last week we got 3+ 35's, a lot of 25's and a lot of 15's. This week we got 3 35's (week not over yet), several 25's and several 15's. Next week we will get 3+ 35's, several 25's and lot of 15's. Not that 15's and 25's matter, since most people have all 15's and 25's they need. Some even have every 15 and 25 from every set just in case.
You guys are solid at salvage, but jesus christ, can you stop with the rubbing it in everyone's face at all times? Its just getting old now, every single post here and on BG. Congrats, you do salvage legitimately, like almost everyone else does.
As for people who got banned, any idiot can tell you it was wrong and against ToS. You get caught, you pay the price. It was a calculated risk on their part and they got burned. 500 or w/e that got permabanned isnt really that many people across all servers anyway, its just that they are all "normal" players this time.
I'm sure you know the reason why we parade about Salvage. We don't really care about reputation or for people to like us. We want Salvage gear. Additionally, by advertising and making ourselves seen (be it through bragging, helping out, etc), people will see us, and if they are interested in Salvage gear and is willing to pay the price, might chose us. Thus, we got another customer. Whether we are hated by a lot of people likely won't matter to them, since they get what they want, without having to attend and help out unless they want to, and without having attend every run unless they want to. And we won't care if they stop coming once they get what they want.
Personally, I'm not rubbing them getting banned in their faces. I'm just saying they can't really blame SE for getting banned, as they actively chose to abuse an exploit. That'd be like saying SE can burn in hell for baning them after hacking, because SE hasn't made any attempt to make hacking impossible.
Time, yes. A lifetime, no. No game should require anyone to put such an absurd amount of time into accomplishing a single task only to fail and get so angry, you throw your own controller at the tv screen. SE makes people do that with their massively time intensive events and ironicly, people would continue to play the game whether those events require them to or not. Heck, I bet more people quit or avoid FF because of the amount required to play far more than the amount it keeps by constantly dangling carrots in front of their faces.
Not justifying what was done; however, SE creates monsters/events which require vast amounts of time only to see drops once in a blue moon and it's no wonder people are willing to break the rules. If SE actually played their own game, I bet anything this would be different.
Everything in this game requires time.
Some people chose to camp HNM's every day for gear and gil. We chose to do Salvage every day for gear and gil.
What exactly do you consider "absurd ammount of time?" One HNM camp can take anywhere from 30 min to 3 hours. If you attend all 3 in a single day, that can be 9 hours. Salvage takes 100 min per day, that's almost half the time a single HNM camp if it pops in last window.
In about 2 years Pchan have got 2 full Salvage sets, Mdk have got 3, several other people have got more then 1 full set, and a lot of people are 14/15 on 2 or 3 sets. That isn't a "lifetime". Most of them don't even do Salvage every day like me, Mdk and Pchan. They do it 3-4 times per week, as well as some mercenary runs every now and then for gil to help pay for their pieces.
