Hello Everyone!
I've decided after a break to return to WoW. I would like to know how long has the 5.3 Patch been on the PTR. So I can get an idea of how long it will take to hit live. I would like to get the most of my 15$ : )
Thanks!

I'll give to you, the same answer I give everyone who asks when is X patch coming: Look at when the PTR started.
Its like clockwork, when the PTR starts, innevitably, the next patch is released within the next 2-3 months. And indeed that seems to be the case here, the PTR has been up for a month, which means there's 1 month left and lo-and-behold, you can already start to pre-download the patch on the live client. The first 300 or so Mb of the next patch have been placed for download, which means 5.3 is just around the corner. My money is in the first week of June.
As stated before, the PTR is a great way to check that out, because when the latest build is flagged as "Release Candidate" it means the patch WILL go live within the next 2 weeks. Bet you all my money that over the next 15 days the Release Candidate flag will pop on the PTR.

Great information and great reasoning. Only one thing wrong.
April 30th + 15 + up to 14 => Up to May 29th, not first week in June.
So, what you're saying is you're betting last week of May, right?
OP: Why don't you wait until the date is fixed before you re-sub?
Cheers.

You don't have to wait till its "Out" exactly. Like I told you, just keep an eye on the PTR, the moment they flag a build as "Release Candidate" you KNOW the patch is going live in 2 weeks. Its like clockwork.

Does the next patch really matter? The net effect of the next content patch won't radically change the game and it isn't going to give you a huge amount of new content to play. You should unsub for 6-8 months, that way there will be a great deal of new content to play.

Said by me 17 days ago on this very thread.
Here we are and albeit 2 days off the mark, the latest PTR build has been flagged as Release Candidate. :P
