I think it should last about 5 - 6 months since there is so much more to do now! As achi-hunter i wanna get "guardian" charaphter and it takes a while to get it.
WTF no way in hell it should last more then 3-4 month EVER. What exactly do you mean there is so much more to do? There is a new map, new items and the cube. The cube isnt adding that much to grind for. IN addition to that we no longer need to grind for rift keys and there is only so many new items everyone will want to cube.
If your an achievemnt hunter and you cant get everything you want in 4 months idk what to tell you, play more?
The only reason I could see them making seasons last longer is so that they don't have to push content out as quickly. Which is entirely something blizzard would do.
Q: How long will Season 4 last?
A: While we don’t have a specific timeframe to share for Season 4, we anticipate that it will be at least three months long.
In my opinion, a season should last *exactly* 3 months. That's enough for anyone to get to most - if not all - their goals and it means you can complete four seasons a year. For the frequent players 3 months is about the time where they hit the maximum level of boredom and grinding becomes nothing but a wait for the "season end announcement". They could probably lessen the burden by making only every second season have major content changes or additions, and just add new season items and bug fixes to every other season.
As it stands right now, I expect season 4 to end in December ("at least three months long" means it'll at least last until November 28), and worst case - like season 1 - extend over the holidays, turning it into a very long season like season 1. But I hope that won't happen and patch 2.4 (or 2.3.1) is done by December. Otherwise the paragon discussion will reach new heights with people being paragon 2500-3000 on season.
2 months isn't enough time if you expect any quality updates between patches. Sure, they could flip the reset switch every 8 weeks, but they'd do so without much of anything new added.
Season 3 went on for a bit too long, but there was such a massive change that so much needed to be tested and retested (if you have any doubt, you didn't pay attention to the many bugs that were fixed and re-fixed).
3-4 months seems like the butter zone to me, perfect. It gives season players enough time to do all they need to do to take a shot at the Boards. It gives the devs time to implement and run a full course of PTR. It also doesn't keep non season players like myself waiting for too long.
Yes. But is that enough for blizzard to create new content ?
For them to intro new items and a few sets? Sure. Season 4 is an exception due to the obvious and unusually heavy load brought by the Cube and the new zone.
Previous seasons lasted way too long! Now we have this seasonal journy what givs us alot paragon and gear grind to reach gr60 and get "guardian". I never done over gr45 in live. I have work and family, cant nolife like some of you.

8 weeks is just ridiculously short.

How about they make 4 seasons in a year.
3 months is enough to get gear.
It never hurts to help!!!
Yes. But is that enough for blizzard to create new content ?

^ This.
Woops! Wow, not sure what happened there. I blame it on the lack of coffee. Sorry for the confusion - fixed! Thanks for the heads-up.
Make it 3 months and end it with a bang with _X2 and 2 new classes for Season 5
