Whenever I see this, I acknowledge this as a complete shutdown of discussion. You have literally "talk to the hand"ed the other person. If this is the case, then get off. This is a discussion forum; if you're not willing to discuss, then what are you doing here?
I was just saying if he were ever to be introduced, this is the point that they should introduce it, not anywhere before.
It's so late in development (it's post production) that the only thing that will come of including Herobrine is community backlash. Herobrine is an entity that would've been better fit in the infancy of Minecraft. Not after it's become as ubiquitous as it is.
I know I'm technically just adding to the dogpile, but I'm gonna say no. Difficulty and an arguably OP reward does not justify destruction of progress.

Again, I wasn't saying he SHOULD be introduced, simply saying that he should not be added anytime soon, but if they were to add him, far in the distant DISTANT future
If an idea is bad, it's bad. You can't pick a different time to implement it to make it unbad. What developer in their right mind would wait "until they don't like their game anymore"? That is so nonsensical.
Again, never said he should be added, I was adding on to this by simply saying that if he ever would be added, which he really shouldn't, they should wait till Minecraft is basically dead and opinions change or whatever...
Now I honestly do think a Herobrine suggestion could work. But it would need to stay true to the original telling of the creepypasta. He doesn't engage the player, he doesn't build things or attack you, he just appears in the distance or just out of sight and vanishes when you get close to him or look at him too long. That would add to the creepy factor (which I don't get why so many people think Minecraft has or needs a creepy factor, but anyways), but be non-intrusive. As for game difficulty, I think that would best be added through a different, less intrusive means.
That is really the only way I could see it being added. A super rare event, possibly snuck in so for the first several sightings people call it a hoax till it happens to them.
Perhaps even as a halloween only thing. a 1/10000 chance of appearing, and that's it. Simple, non intrusive, creepy, and totally unexpected the first time around.

If i do agree, I will, But with some technical information that can be included to make your idea better.
NBT Tag for a new world=
seenHerobrine=1/0 {If the player has seen herobrine or has rendered herobrine in his chunk. Requires Hard difficulty, but will not appear on hardcore mode. 1 is true, 0 is false}
seenHumanAt= x;y;z (where the player has seen it, mostly he will have a chance to spawn in layer 42, 16, or 20, where there are the darkest caves.)
appearanceWhileSleeping=[between 1-3 only, if you have saw herobrine how many times in one bed. If seenHerobrine is turned on, this option can be till 3 times. After That, you will not see herobrine again.
stalkedTime= (x) second(s) {for how many seconds did herobrine stalk him (or stay in the player's chunk) the first time player saw it)
killedHerobrine=(how many times killedd herobrine in a boss battle. Will only turn on if the player has once entered nether.)
previouslyKilled=(if the player has killed herobrine in another world)
If, in one world, a boss battle with herobrine is successfully won by the player and herobrine has been killed, herobrine will never appear in the world again.
only one Herobrine can spawn in one world, and within 360 chunks around the player.
As a boss battle, herobrine would be difficult and exciting to kill.
Again, never said he should be added, I was adding on to this by simply saying that if he ever would be added, which he really shouldn't, they should wait till Minecraft is basically dead and opinions change or whatever...
I don't think you understand how smart game design works in the slightest. Who waits until a game is "dead" to add something like that? Opinions don't matter either. Easily one of the weirdest things I've read here.
OT: I wouldn't mind a boss that performs the whole clone thing you described. In fact, I'd think it would be very interesting. That's about the only thing I truly liked in this suggestion. Everything else completely screws your world over.

Because it isn't violating any forum rules.

This boss idea seems neat, however it shouldnt be Herobrine, no way. Also the griefing should be gone, too annoying

Let me indulge in my sarcasm, please. ;(

Herobrine is fake, it is a creepypasta, this shouldn't be added.
