This, pretty much. It's not going to bring more players into savage, it's just going to make the outrage over the Chaotic hairstyle seem mild by comparison.

Also, like everyone else has already said, removing the gear rewards from normal raids and relying on the raid roulette to populate them for newbies is a very risky choice. Even if you offer a large amount of activity points for them, people will choose other stuff regardless if it's more appealing to them and/or less hassle.
