Where are those quotes from?
Shadowbroker DLC of ME2. Depending upon which team mate you took, he would say one of those things.
Can't be the first cycle to have an ARK ship

No, Creepenger. How could you forget?
“Turian; you are considered...too primitive.”
WTF does this even mean?
"We couldn't think of a reason why the Reapers wouldn't want to smoothify them"?

Those are not the Shadowbroker quotes.

Oh I see. Harbinger never got a chance to say much in my playthroughs because I killed him the very moment he showed up.
It was all wrong anyway. Just like the Synthesis ending which assumed synthetic lifeforms have DNA. Or that million year old Reapers still contain the DNA of the harvested species which they turned into some organic sludge first (I wonder if they filtered out the contaminants like clothes, fecal waste and uningested food).
Writers failed basic biology throughout the trilogy. One look at the Asari say it clearly. ^^

I think Osena109 means if species from the previous cycles tried to run in an ark ship the Reapers would have caught them. Since we were the only cycle that were able to put up a decent fight against the Reapers, it makes sense that previous attempts to send ark ships would have failed as the races of previous cycles were taken by surprise and easily defeated, having no chance of creating an ark contingency.
Didn't it take over a century for the protheans to be wiped out by the Reapers? It must have been at least a few decades since Javik says he was born after the Reapers had begun harvesting the protheans. So they evidently put up a decent fight.
It's not clear how long it would have taken our cycle to be defeated without the Crucible, but at least three major species' homeworlds (Earth, Thessia, and Palaven) are in serious trouble by the end of ME3, during which a relatively small amount of time seems to pass. I don't think our cycle was any better at fighting the Reapers conventionally than any others. The Crucible ended up being the deciding factor.

It's not so much the Protheans put up a decent fight, but more just the sheer size of the Milky Way and how far the Protheans had spread through it means that the cycle would take a while.

It's like reaching the Mass Effect version of the Corporate Sector in opposite corner of space from where the Reapers come through, which by the end of Mass Effect 3 there still aren't Reapers there, but that's taking into account game mechanics I suppose...
It could be something as simple as a oversight.
Noveria goes Reaper free the entire cycle though.

When you look at the ME canon from a anthropological perspective, there are many things that don't quite make sense at a closer look.
The strict separation of dextro-amino acids and levo-amino acid-based species - for example. Mind you, I'm no biologist, but that seems fishy to me.
And the danger of allergic reactions to these acids are not higher than an abruptly manifesting peanut allergy. There are many things in our food that the human digestive system can't utilize. Some of them are called roughage, and they're perfectly natural. Therefore ME sometimes feels like a universe full of hypochondriacs.
The explanation of the quarian immune system is also illogical. Allergic reactions are not signs of a weak immune system, its an indication of an overactive immunesystem in too clean an environment. Which also means that this person can handle other Diseases very well (potentially, at least). That the Quarian immune system is on one side weak an fragile, and on the other side reacts to everything with strong allergic reactions is very unlikely and never explained.

IIRC it´s 300 years. Seems they fought mostly holding actions and they probably had quite a lot of success against the ground forces.
