Question for users who were around for previous expansions

How long was HB or the paid routines out during previous expansions? Was it at least a month or longer? Were the class routines updated at the same rate or slower?

Out as soon as the bot is released. In terms of routines for raiding/pvp; probs after a little bit where the dev's have had time to understand and program the new meta.

HB is released like a week or so after release if I'm not mistaken. At least I think that were the case with WoD release.

Since blizzard started with the prepatches for new expansions, it takes alot less time to get the bot to work with new expansion.
A week or less.

For WoD it was 1 or 2 days. The patch was already released and they just enabled the WoD part. There was some downtime when patch 6.0 was released, but that was weeks before WoD release.
