Yes, going in Savage expect people to be good or at least to aim for improvement. Casuals wanting to stay casual shouldn't get there.

As I said, it's only a problem if they are a burden in a meaningful way.

I meant if they are bringing enough dps for real, why should they improve overall? That's all I'm saying. Don't force people to be even better when they are good enough and don't want to get into more than what they did. Being above what's needed is already good. No need to be a god.
