Dark Rangers have been a long requested ask. Maybe not in the form of customization but this just seems the most likely route now all things considered.
I also do not think it matters when requests start but I’m pretty sure BE fans have wanted Farstrider tattoos etc for a long time.
As for Dark Ranger customization that should be implemented imo given what VEs have received and what HE fans still want in terms of what’s next for VE customizations they want.
Blood Elf fans are a large fan base too, so I don’t think the fact HE conversation dominated stuff up until a certain point really says anything. If anything it says BE fans are getting under your skin perhaps because we’re changing the conversation back to you know Blood Elf customization, which speaks volumes to the power / voice of BE fans imo. But there really isn’t any need for animosity between the two groups anyways but we have every right to be heard too.
