Let’s not be stinky poopoo heads and agree that Alliance DRs are just a bad idea until we get any piece of lore regarding their current status, yeah?
Yeah.
I can already see the guy typing again, someone hug me.

There is, it’s this one: https://wowpedia.fandom.com/wiki/Path_of_the_Dark_Rangers.
any [dark ranger] who choose to depart and rejoin the Alliance are free to do so.
If you add the fact you can play as one on the Alliance, it looks like these DF were indeed free to do so.
I never said it was portrayed in a good way; in fact, I think this is what we have to expect from now on - in terms of Blizz’s writing, the story will often be kinda bad, but it doesn’t mean the lore they give us is made invalid.
And unlike DKs, the Dark Rangers are added as an afterthought, whereas DKs were the main feature of an expansion.
Perhaps they have been welcomed regardless of Tyrande.
There is indication that the darkfallen have been allowed though.
Again, that’s not my argument. My argument is that Blizzard’s telling a story in which the quest leads to the customization, hence what they’re doing here is [a bad form of] storytelling. But it is, nevertheless, canon storytelling.
This tbh. No point trying to argue with “I am always correct even though I am purposefully misinterpreting the lore I am quoting” debate bros on here.
We’ll probably find out in Dragonflight either through the presence or lack thereof of an NPC.

Emphasis on the blood part in blood knight.
Not have done so.

People wanted High elves, Cause Blizzard kept constantly showcasing High elves in lore and the Alliance.
People wanted Dark rangers for almost the same reason. They where showcased in the lore and the game as always a thing too.
But blizzard is so out of touch with us, They thought. ‘‘Heck it all… Every elf ever can be dark rangers now, Saves us the hassle’’ And the lore has to adjust to this decision.
I doubt any Alliance night elf rp’ers expected to still be Alliance night elf characters, After the battle for Darkshore, And Delaryn ends up in Lordaeron with the other Dark rangers to find their way from Calia.
I doubt any horde or Alliance Dark ranger fans who always wanted to make a Dark ranger had the Alliance anywhere near their inspiration or fantasy behind being a Dark ranger.
But i guess Blizzard was afraid they would make the wrong decision either how, And this was easier than giving the Horde a Forsaken night elf model.

But …Nightborne have lived in a magic bubble since before the Darkfallen ever happend…
Blizzard really said there weren’t enough High Elves around to justify them as a playable race only to then add High Elf NPCs to literally every alliance settlement in Vanilla-Shadowlands.
There’s even High Elves in Night Elf settlements in Vanilla.

And Night Elf Darkfallen only became a thing after the Nightborne left their bubble?
So why wouldn’t Nightborne be able to become Darkfallen.
Nightborne Death Knights are, basicly, already Darkfallen anyways
Void Elves only being a crack-squad of Elves becoming Playable didn’t do their argument any good either😔

Night elf Darkfallen? Nono no. What the heck is this? Darkfallen are fallen Scourge risen Blood elves aren’t they?
What Night elf Darkfallen are you talking about?
They went from blood knights to literal blood knights.

All undead Elves are Darkfallen. They don’t have to be aligned with the Scourge for that. Its literally an name for all Undead Elves
Taking the class name serious in their case😏

Keep it that way. Having them be unable to make anymore is a more interesting idea (and gets rid of them faster).

Agreed, it just made the High elf fans more louder and pissed off, though😔

Yeah okey… But some elves are more relevant to the Undead story than others. Lets not get crazy.

Do be advised/warned that this person has outed themselves as incredibly transphobic+someone who openly admitted they

That would be the San’layn - vampiric undead blood elves. That’s what Darkfallen used to be before Sylvanas’ book was released this year. Now ‘Darkfallen’ is a generic term referring to any kind of undead elf.
