I think it depends on what you mean by "casual". My impression has always been that this content is for people who are still progging savage to give them a gear boost to help with M4 and maybe M3. In that respect, I'd say it's probably for casuals because the people still progging Savage at this point are by and large casual players and casual raiders, but I wouldn't say it's for casuals in then sense of someone who's never done a raid before, and I don't feel like it was ever intended to be. I haven't kept up with everything the devs have said about it leading up to release, but this always seemed like the obvious target audience for Chaotic. Regardless, not sure how the first time bonus is a gift, it's just incentive to help people clear and it accomplishes that.
