The Garo gear added in patch 3.5 can now also be obtained via the Calamity salvager NPC.

Players must first obtain the corresponding achievement before they will be able to reobtain any gear.
For example, players wishing to reobtain the Face of the Golden Wolf must first gain the Echoes of the Golden Wolf achievement.

That is a Lodestone article for a patch that is over 2 years old. Do you really expect that all players know all patch notes/Lodestone articles from the last 5 years inside/out ? There are new players that never have looked at those articles.

Maybe not - but knowing how the Salvager works is something I feel you can reasonably expect from anyone playing the game long enough to care about the Garo-stuff... or if they dont know the Salvager works, to maybe check wether or not they can re-buy the gear they're intrested in in the 6 months leading up to Garo being discontinued, instead of taking a peak 2 weeks later...

Honestly for a limited time event they should have made all of these things much easier to obtain/reobtain. For the amount of effort that we put to get everything from Mako it should have been a permanent event like the Monster Hunter event.

But...who knows at this point everyone should try to get the Monster Hunter stuff asap because they might remove it in the future like they did the Mako.

The "limited time" we're talking about here was over 2 years - which is plenty to obtain whatever you wanted from it. They informed us 6 months in advance that the event would end - and even 6 months is plenty of time to collect everything...

They also announced from the very start that it would not stay in the game forever, so it was to be expected that it would be removed at somepoint. This isnt true for Rathalos, which isnt a limited time event but part of the game now. So no, they're not going to remove that (...as you even said yourself...).

I don't think it's too unreasonable for some people who are not aware of the reasons why the salvager works the way it does to think that this could have been different, especially when their announcement post made no reference to the achievement being required, only that you must have "earned" the gear.
