Grinding has been an aspect of MMORPGs since their inception. It ensures that a certain reward is equal to the time spent on obtaining it, rather through a rigorous task than by sheer luck. The original reward was actually worth killing 100,000 Squigs for, since it was a cloak made from the hide and body of a Squig. I can see why people think grinding 100k Squigs for the Heavy Metal event cloak is stupid, but some do want the Harbinger cloak appearance.

Perhaps you'll take upon the Squig slaying challenge if the true reward becomes obtainable. If not; I still look forward to making more grind objectives in PvE for unique appearances ;)

Well, personally if the cloak will looks like a squig hide and head, I'll grind it for my SH.

The item has no stats, but that just makes the investment of time that more impressive / crazy. If you see someone with that cloak, you KNOW they worked f***ing hard for it. That's worth admiration, awe, or even confusion.
The cloak appearance is impressive. It looks amazing. The only awe striking thing about it is this thought; You seriously had 35-50 extra hours of time for that?!?! F****K Or... You didn't get caught botting?!?! Nice!

Since I see database developers in this thread, I have a better suggestion. Find a few unused cloak skins, something awesome and textured like the Fanghopper, and make two rewards based on player kills in RvR. 10k and 50k? It's something I will never see. Not only does it indicate how much time you have to play the game but also how well you spend that time.

Doesn't RvR kills already have some reward? Like some super lame trophy or something?

I saw a Sh wearing it a few weeks ago. Forgot the name. It's scaly and green. Looks like the original to me.
