The amount of work necessary to even get to that to the point of having to compete once a week with 7 other people in order to get a weapon in savage doesn't even compare to a Ruby weapon run though.

One you can farm as many times you want, for as long as you want, while the other you need a party of competent people that haven't done it yet if you even want to see the loot at the end. It's only been a week and we're already starting to see people not giving two s**ts about weapons and instantly leaving the instance after the boss is dead because all they care about is the mount, without even looting the weapons. It's not that difficult to get yours.
