Salvage > Nyzul.

Salvage is probably one of the most enjoyable events I've ever experienced in a MMO. It required pure skill simply b/c gear was literally removed on entry. It didn't matter how good your gear was, at least until higher floors. The only thing that mattered was how good you were at your job.

All MMOs are ridiculously easy if you consider the actual skill/effort you have to use in manipulating your character. They have to be or nobody would ever get anything done in a party. Salvage was one of the few events where, if you were on top of your game (along with everyone else), you could clear more NMs and have a better chance at getting gear.

Essentially, timed based events w/o a major gear check are the most entertaining for me, not because I dislike farming gear, but because I'd rather be judged on skill than gear.
