We have some recent recruits so hopefully at some points we will have enough active members. It remains to be seen if that happens before the next expansion or not.
It wasnt intended to put words in your mouth, but rather to counter a potential argument like "But you need to do Savage to upgarde that ring!" straight away and to make the point of: If you're not able to upgrade the ring, because you dont do Savage, you dont need that high of an ilvl to begin with.

...we're also in week 8 of this raid now and you havent checked what loot you actually need...? So, at that time you actually didnt know wether or not you needed that bolt - unlike your friend, who had informed himself about what he wanted and needed. I have two bolts sitting in my inventory that I rolled on just to get something - turned out: I actually have no use for them. And I feel actually bad about that - blindly rolling on stuff isnt the way to go... grats on your bolt and grats on actually needing it after all in the end.
