But...
why would you poke a dead horse?...
what does the horse have to do with it?

LEAVE THE HORSE ALONE!

Usually people go so far as to beat it. Sad really...poor thing can't do anything about...you know being dead and all. Quite sad really...

Possibly, what prevents Blizzard from doing so is the risk of Wow downtime, thereby affecting millions of customers with ongoing subscriptions. Whereas HB customers have no subscriptions, Bossland (who develops HB) doesn't seem to care much if we have to wait a while to play.

Consider the 5-6 weeks it took them to get the bot running when MoP came out. Heck, Bossland doesn't even begin development for patches until after a patch is on the live server, i.e. they don't use the PTR to prepare.

What are you smoking and where can I get some?


but on a serious note.

The developers do use the PTR to prepare for upcoming releases except there is one flaw.
upon the final release blizzard often tosses in a curve ball and has a few extra unexpected changes. i.e. Blizzard pushes out its patches on the dates it announces and will often add extra content/code fixes that where simply not in the PTR yet.


the Devs are working hard to get the bot updates, many of them this is there lively hood.

let them do their job and do it right.
