I've probably killed Martar at least 30 times before the patch and only once did I get the cloak. Not sure after the patch but I will find out soon enough.
Also not that it's a huge deal but there is something I noticed about Karg that is different from classic. I used to kill him all the time long before Kunark came out and he never had the GZ equipped even if he had it on him. This made it almost impossible to know if he had the GZ or cloak until you killed him. I say "almost" because there was a trick. The GZ was a major light source and you would know if he had it due to him glowing brightly while walking around. They later fixed this little issue by adding a lightstone in his normal loot table so you couldn't tell. Apparently back then they didn't want you know if he had the sword just by looking at him.
I also remember him being rarer than he is now. It's been a long time but I don't even remember if he had a placeholder or if he simply on a long spawn time like Hadden(I don't remember Martar until later). I just remember porting in with druid occasionally and find him up once in awhile. The GZ was worth a lot more money back in classic than it is now because it was way more rare.
