The implication is before January 2002 (i.e. 2001) the cloak was useable by anyone from inventory. That would be within the timeline.

Correct - all of this is relevant to P99.

I'm sure the Devs would like in era evidence for such a huge change, instead of implication thru forum posts though.

It seems like more than an implication given the statement by Calmari, but I agree. And even if someone provides incontrovertible evidence of a non-ranger using the DCotS clicky, I still wouldn't change it simply because it would've been such an anomaly on live. Not to mention the post-Luclin nerf surely would've been retroactive - the 9ish-month period during which people could multiquest Sky stuff and potentially obtain an all/all-clickable DCotS would've literally been the only time a non-ranger could've clicked a DCotS.
So I don't think you can overstate its rarity, assuming it even happened at all. I mean, think about it - first, someone would've had to have the idea, "Hey, if rangers can click that from inventory, what if I can too?!" Then they'd have to obtain the quest components, or find someone willing to multiquest them - but who knows, maybe it was someone who looted a Fine Velvet Cloak when there were no rangers at the raid, as a last ditch effort in case they could multiquest it later. Either way, the first person to discover this would've been going way out on a limb, with stakes and item scarcity much higher, and probably banking on item restoration if it didn't work out. For all we know, it may have been an incredibly short amount of time that any non-rangers owned a usable DCotS - a month, a week, a couple days - if that was even a thing. And if it was a thing, it might have been what prompted the patch on January 23rd.
