IMHO the patch from 4 to 5 is much greater that from 5.0.3 to 5.0.5... Most of the changes still happened It is like Cataclysm - HB went offline, after the pre patch and was not that long ofline, when Cataclysm was launched
From my limited knowledge, no, all CC's will have to be. But I don't think any of the questing profiles need be updated much, until they release spec specific quest rewards. Ghostcrawler explains spec-specific quest rewards in MoP
I computer program for a living, and have made several custom classes and plugins for HB, so can make a few educated guesses here. 1. Don't expect all questing profiles to work. Have you noticed subtle changes in WoW's quest delivery system, and some big changes in the dungeons? Ragefire Chasm is totally different, Scholomance is totally different, I'm sure there's lots more. Those questing profiles took years to develop, don't expect them to run 'right out of the box.' I personally would rather have HB available but questing profiles not working, than not have HB at all until they're updated. 2. Grinding should work OK - not much in the world has changed. 3. ALL custom classes will need to be rewritten. I imagine Singular would have to be updated in order to release this Friday, otherwise nothing works at all. I bet we'll all be using the Singular until custom class writers update their products. 4. I bet gathering/mining/skinning will work OK, since that's the main reason many people use the bot. 5. I hazard no guess about battlegrounds/PVP - I don't play those, and don't know what all has changed (if anything).
very few of us pay irl money for playtime or even for the accounts them self, we buy the games/upgrades and play time with gold, the only real money expenditure we have is power, I for one is greatly covered from how much gold i sell every month to not have any issue with the little extra power consumption of having 1-2 computers running 4-8 bots..
Blizzard might see a spike in activity Friday, but there will be quite some non-botters in there as well who just happened to start playing again that day and some botters will have logged into their WoW account during bot downtime as well. Blizz won't be able to do anything useful with the info.
Thanks guys HB has made wow better for me and take your time whats a week or two no stress devs take your time
