They haven't added a new robe look since... forever. it is totally due. Especially since the only alternative robe looks have been from a pay-only feature that is per character (and not refunded if said char is deleted). New basic robe look should be a thing.. and Hero's Forge should be account-wide or just made a basic non-pay feature.
Absolutely! It's also for robes especially that I really wish that we could use normal armor as ornaments -and- could use dye on ornaments.
