More of an issue of duration as opposed to difficulty. My problem wasn't one of skill, but more really that everyone I knew was burnt out with Assaults and refused to grind them to do Salvage. The questionable drop schedule was just the final nail in the coffin really. Not being able to use Nyzul tokens either really killed it for me. I did Nyzul for the longest time, which locked me out of Salvage.
That's probably more of an issue with how the Devs set it up, as opposed to Salvage itself.
