I'm posting the latest news on Season 4 since everyone seems to ask about it. Along with rating requirements for Season 3 once Season 4 goes live. This is so that everyone doesn't have to go searching for it if they don't want to.
There will be no changes to gear availability/rating requirement until Season 4 starts, which will not begin when patch 2.4 goes live.
When Season 4 starts here's what will happen:
* Season 1 removed
* Season 2 moved to honor
* Season 3 rating requirements and prices lowered
Shoulders : 1950 rating
Weapons : 1800 rating
* Season 4 gear added
Season 4 isn't expected to begin any time soon, but as always we plan to give at least a two week notice before it does. Stay tuned to these forums or any of your fine local fansites as I'm sure the information will spread fairly rapidly once we do announce a Season 4 start date.
Season 3 prices and Season 4 rating requirements are not yet announced. All information contained herein is of course, as always, subject to change.

For the most part, all of this information is easily accessible through
www.mmo-champion.com on a daily basis. They update the latest notes on each patch and give progression of the guilds currently clearing the newest instances as well as the latest news of what's going on in the WoW community. It is a great resource and I recommend people use it (as they post sources of each thing they add) so people don't have to come ask the same questions here over and over again with out doing research themselves.
