The majority of the Reaper armada was harvesting different planets, few Reapers where actually fighting, explaining the low numbers during the battle of earth and how the war lasted so long.

As for the matter of the Reapers only taking casualties recently, you said it yourself that that is just your opinion.

By the way, I want to apologize if I am getting caught up in this and I'm being over zealous.
