Are you going to make a sprint for the stash tab or are you even going to skip that?
What did you play in the previous five patches (season or NS)?
What's your reason to play season or non-season in 2.4.1, respectively?
What factors are most important for your decision (what streamers do, what your clan does, what your friends list does, where the perceived majority of players is, where leaderboards are easier to reach/more contested, or what this poll tells you ;-))?
1. i wont sprint to get the tab it will eventually come because i complete each journey every season. for cosmetic rewards.
2. S1 = Crusader S2=Monk S3=Barb S4=Monk (because s2 was so short) S5= Wizard S6 will most likely be DH. (doing a different class every season.)
3. i play seasons because i am a achievement whore. i need all achievements/pets/wings/pennants/designs/portraits. i do full journeys and all achievments/ conquests every season. i like seasons because it gives me extra stuff to work for. I think of my account as my character and like to add as much as i can to my profile.

Well, that's a pretty surprising outcome (basically 3:1 in favor of seasons). I really thought more people would go to non-season.
I personally didn't like seasons and was playing non-seasons for era 1, 2, and 3. Switched to seasons for S4 (only played for a week, lost interest) and S5 (played way too much). I really enjoy the start of a season; the first opening weekend is crazy and so much fun. As long as there's stuff to do (conquests, achievements, and so on) season is cool and sort of enjoyable. But after 1-2 weeks you realize you need to farm, farm, farm to keep up with your goals (may that be personal or overall leaderboards records). And at that point, when there's no official recognition by the game anymore, I don't see the advantage of doing that on season - when I have most of that stuff on non-season already.
That's why I'll try to finish off the stash tab thing as soon as possible - if you're focused you can probably do that in a few hours, certainly less than one day this season. And then I'll delete my season character to force myself to enjoy the summer; and whenever I see some cool builds emerge or want to play a bit, I have tons of perfect gear, plenty of gems for augmenting, 90+ rank on each gem, and about 1500 paragon or so. Rather than on season where I spent a week just to try out a build... which is cool if you want to kill a lot of time, but I don't want to commit that much in S6.
My journey will be decided uon if I end up with some decent gear withing the first 2 weeks of the season while I'm trying to get stash tab. IF I won't have a decent char by then , I might go back to NS and try to beat my best GR scores ^^
Non season. Purely because I don't understand enough about seasonal play.
It does appeal to me tho, focus on new chars, (played wiz n monk since season 3 when I discovered Diablo!)
new start, new grind and new targets.
This game has well n truly got its claws into me and season play looks like a way to keep things fresh and make the experience of Diablo last longer.
Am I correct in this way of thinking or am I getting the wrong end of the stick...?
Yep. You start over with nothing, and build from the start, and see how far you can get.
It's mostly attractive for those of us who have played non-season a fair bit and would rather enjoy the build up again then the long term play of refining gear.
It depends on your own progression, and how much time you have and how much you enjoy the grind from level 1 to being able to do a Greater Rift at 70 or something.
If you are interested you should just try it once and see how you feel about it. Everything you collect on Season will get transferred to non-season after the season is over, so it's never wasted effort.
I'll be playing a seasonal NA DH to kick things off. Once I get the stash tab, I'll hopefully do enough to get any missing cosmetics. Then after that I'll spend some quality time with HC, then I'll do the same thing on the Europe server. Pushing doesn't really appeal to me, nor does completing the entire season journey...unless they give us a really cool carrot to chase.
Once my friends stop playing (for the most part), I'll probably go non-season and finish up any of those cursed set dungeons I still need to complete.

Season until stash tab, NS afterwards.
My journey will be decided uon if I end up with some decent gear withing the first 2 weeks of the season while I'm trying to get stash tab. IF I won't have a decent char by then , I might go back to NS and try to beat my best GR scores ^^
I'll play seasons just to finish the journey. No pushing for some amazing rift levels or so.
