The reason for that was because in the previous cycles like with the Protheans only one race had been dominant and ruled over the other races. Then when the reapers attacked no one was working together "every race for themselves". Javik I think said that they could not adapt their tactic to beat the reapers.
In our cycle we have the advantage of many different races and the whole ME is about uniting the races to fight the reapers.
The Crucible to me seems to me like a deus ex machina. I mean it comes out of nowhere. It seemed to me that the writes in ME3 increased the reapers strength for the excuse to use Crucible device as the only thing to defeat them.
20000+ cycles and we were the only ones who tried to work together? Really? I seriously doubt it. That's a real stretch.
The reason things happened like they did in ME3 was that the writers had written themselves into a corner and there was no other way to handle the reaper threat without dealing them the idiot card in this cycle. In ALL of the other cycles they had taken over the Citadel and shut down the relay system. It was only in our cycle that they didn't. I guess it was because it had gotten boring going through an efficient routine harvest that Starbrat decided to spread things out and give our cycle a chance for sport.
It would have been a very short game if they'd taken over the Citadel.
