IF there will be ladder, i think a way to adress the character slot limit is to create temporary slots for Ladder and when the season ends you will choose which character to keep and transfer over Standard.
Stash will be a bit trickier but the guys from Path of Exile found a good system. When a season ends, all your items in the storage are transfered over your standard chest and if there is no room the game will create "read only" pages to store the equipment in excess. You can't use these pages to put new items in but only to remove them; when the page is emptied, it's removed. Correct me if i'm wrong about this, i read infos about Seasons in PoE some time ago when i played it, but never saw how it really worked.

I agree with this idea. Sadly any kind of Ladder references are absent from the PTR/Closed Beta
Extremely clunky and prone to failure. What I *can* see them doing is selling you extra character slots in a virtual store.
It definitely wont ship with RoS. Ladder is a way to keep the game fresh. After RoS has been out for a few months...half a year or so and interest starts to dwindle, that is when you can expect ladder to be released. You can think of RoS release as a fresh "ladder season" if you want since everyone will be starting anew.
Didn't read any similar topic here, so created one:
How will blizzard address character slots issue if they have ladder/non ladder league?
1. 12 or 15 slots is far from enough for ladder and non ladder characters.
2. if blizz allowing 12 slots for ladder and 12 for non ladder, what will happen if a ladder session end?
my 2 cents: with the issues above, i'll think that RoS will not have ladder at launching, maybe ladder only kicks in after some major patch/expansion.
What you guys think?
EDIT: Merry christmas and happy holiday.

Yeah Ladder will come eventually but I highly doubt it'll ship wtih RoS.

I think we will at least hear about an official ladder one month before RoS is released. Maybe even get a date at that time..
