This is something that can already happen with tome gear, if people are stat focused, have decked out their main job, have no desire to gear up alt jobs and have no means to do Savage for whatever reason. These people quite frequently stop playing until further upgrades are available. Basically, about 12 weeks after a catch-up patch like this, these people (again) have no reason to log in anymore. To deck out oneself in tome gear also takes around 14 weeks. That is roughly 3 months. I wager it happens much sooner for successful Savage raiders.
