Wouldn't it be easy for Blizzard to cripple Honorbuddy?

[Schuetzy]

Couldn't Blizzard basically destroy bots by putting out a small patch every day? (Like yesterday's patch). No need to add new content or change any skills/talents/dungeons/etc, just change some code around so it would break the bots. The tiny patch wouldn't hinder any of the players, as it would take only a few minutes tops to update. If you think about it, updating a bot takes anywhere from a few hours to a couple days. If they swapped some code around, by the time the bots are updated, it would be a completely new set of codes via next day's patch, or really close to it. It'd only give us a few hours, at BEST, to bot, and I'm pretty sure bot purchases and use would plummet.

U make me laugh they have already dropped in Subs. And WOD is and was Nothing but small patches with no real content. I love how blizzard blames the Bots for their failure. I will Agree some of the fellow botters are Stupid and deserve to be banned. But not all botters are the same I use mine as a combat rotation where I control my footing my main CD's, I don't pvp at all, and Im sitting at my computer the whole time doing stuff with my toons.

Also people who run bots in excess, if you are running bots for 8 hours or longer when sleeping, then manually playing your account all day when you wake up then of course they must do something about. In the cases whereby you keep botting too a minimal and just use it a couple of hours a day it's hardly doing any harm and keeping people happy. To be fair I think the main complaint is the bots in BG's are am absolute pain as most of them just stand around, hardly doing anything at all (not saying this is an honorbuddy bot but I mean most BG bots do this).

This question is asked about every TOS-breaking third party program every time their respective game is hotfixed after a normal patch.

They can't be bothered to waste their devs times with this sort of nonsense.
