I bought up a few tokens to get a bit of Bnet balance in preparation. The token prices are going to skyrocket.

Heritage armor + allied race leveling would tide players over
Requiring people who buy it from 8.1 onwards to get Legion achievements to unlock races doesn't seem right. So I'd say pre-order unlocks them with the achievements, no achievements needed after it launches.
To my memory, Demon Hunters were available only after the Legion pre-patch hit live servers, and only appeared in assets on the live client at that time- the pre-patch with DH assets went live July 19th, but DHes were only made available August 9th. Perhaps this is what you are remembering- the period where the pre-patch was on the PTR, and the period where it was live, but DHes weren't available?
We certainly didn't have DH assets in the live client before Beta testing even began. That's a HUGE difference, and a very clear indication that these races are intended to be live much sooner relative to expansion release than DHes were.
I mean, DH coming before prepatch wouldn't have made sense since we were still in WoD content. But, the 4 Allied races have to do with Legion, so I wouldn't be surprised if we get them way before prepatch. You're comparing a class relevant to the expac it's released with to races that have to do with the expac we're currently playing btw.
Yeah, looking more into it, all I can find in reference to Demon Hunters and Legion in 6.2 are the Collector's Edition pet and mount, strings for the pre-order advertising Legion and Demon Hunters, and the Murkidan Blizzcon reward pet. I don't see anything in any news posts regarding PTR testing for 6.2 to indicate that DH class assets were added prior to the Legion pre-patch. If you know of a source that shows what I'm not finding, I'd love to see it?
I trust Mr.GM's source, not going to get my hopes up but pretty much expecting it. It would be logical, and i think everyone is perfectly ready for it.
So, a little allied race preview posted by MMO-Champ today. Maybe 1 each of the next 4 days, leading up to the pre-order tuesday and release of those 4 races? Hmmmmm.
