Yeah, even when I go up there on my gimp-as-hell BST for farming up some sky gods, even one of my lolRampages takes out a good 25-35% of their HP. If a Fudo SAM can barely do double that with a self-SC? Something's terribly wrong. xD

Haidate is not something that is hard to get these days, usukane takes time but it is in no way hard to get.
Usu feet is pretty easy to get, just depends on your luck.
Any ninja with a mage could duo byakko, ulli and despot, and a good ninja could solo them, haidate are ridiculously easy to get. Usukane you need some luck and 2 friends or a mule and 1 friend or 1 friend with a mule, also not difficult.
I might be misinterpreting but I think the argument was for crit-rate-specific haidate, not necessarily the base itself. I'm not sure how random the augments are but that's how I interpreted the statement.
It is for crit damage haidate. Which are augemented from byakko seals, which you will get while getting haidate. And its pretty easy to get crit damage 4 on haidate. It should not take more then 20 craps unless you are really unlucky. Getting crit damage 4 with something else good could take a bit though.
Not to mention the cost involved in buying Byakkos Seals or the time involved in farming them, the luck, and the fact you need to find a synergist to do it for you (I personally don't know I single person with synergy). And farming Usu is completely luck based, I tried to get them for six months right after Salvage came out and only saw one 35 ever, never again. You also have to farm assault points and find friends willing to waste their time to not ever see 35 feet.
We saw about 4 pairs of 35 feet one run a long time ago:

I had the same experience when doing salvage regularly. There would be 3 scenarios and in order of which occurred the most it was:
1- no nms, rmapart dies and we get a piece of alex
2- multiple nms, no af
3- multiple nms, multiple pieces of gear
It was either no gear or 3+ pieces.
I've done Bhaflau about a dozen times in the last month and not seen a single NM pop. I let the Ramparts take themselves to 50% and then finish them off, so I generally get three Ramparts in per run. I don't bother popping the 3F one and always go for LBC. Bhaflau 35s are the hardest to get now, I think.
They've always been the toughest/most annoying to get imo, mainly because it's random lolbees luck. You have to pop the rampart, which isnt hard. But that rampart has to pop nms, which you have (likely) zero control over. Then those nm, if they pop need to drop what you want. There are so many places where the lolbees can screw you and it's awful.
Back in the day, SSR was far and away the worst.
