    Usually right after or in conjunction with a new content patch. So in this case right after patch 3.3 is my guess.(week or two after)

    Season 8 starts at patch 3.3, it has been announced.
    If I'm not mistaken, usually it ends one week before the other one starts.

    As a wild guess I'd say patch 3.3 is coming around Mid-December. This supposition is based on the content we see ulocked in the PTR.

    I read it in mmo-champion announcements a while ago but I'll look for it.
    Again, just a hunch but it has always been like that, a new boss is added in Wintergrasp that'll drop T10 items and they've always dropped the corresponding new season items too.

    Will look for the place I read it of course.

    Some more hints:
    http://www.mmo-champion.com/index.php?tpstart=15 - Go down and check the Season 8 Frostwyrm followed by the achievements

    http://www.mmo-champion.com/index.php?tpstart=25
    Also a bit downwards:

    "Season 8 Weapon Models Preview
    I spent so much time discussing Icecrown in the past 2 weeks that I almost forgot to mention PvP content. Just like any major patch, this one will introduce a new arena season and of course new weapon models (hurray, shields!). Armor sets arent available yet and we'll have to wait a later PTR build to get a look at them."

    Won't look for more sorry I wish it wouldn't come this soon so I could reach my 1.8k winning against overgeared bored 2k+ teams ^^

You said it was announced that it would start on patch 3.3. Thus why I asked for a link because I knew you were wrong.
    For me it makes sense...

    "Just like any major patch, this one will introduce a new arena season"

    Maybe introduce means something different than what I think it does. As a literal translation to my main language, it means start like the introduction of a book is its beginning.
    But to be honest I don't want this to become a who's right or wrong... tried to give my pov to the OP tha's all. If you think I'm wrong and you're right or any other way, I don't care. They may be wrong too mmo-champion but I still see them as one trustfull ressource. Again, if I'm wrong, if they're wrong, how to know, what to do?

    If you read my post with a bit more attention you'd have noticed too that the "it has always been like that" was directed to new VoA Boss and this ONE... well... hmmm... is MAYBE coming (hope that suits you) - they usually drop New Season Gear. Again, maybe I'm wrong. Maybe it's patch day, maybe it's not.

    It's hard for me to believe that they'll do one of the following things:

    New boss comes, drops Relentless then one or two weeks later (based on your prediction) his loot table changes and starts dropping Wrathfull;
    New boss comes, drops no PvP related items then one or two weeks later (based on your prediction) his loot table changes and starts dropping Wrathfull;
    New boss won't be there at patch day because hell wait for new season to start.
    Again I can be wrong, damn it sucks because you'll LOL again. At least it makes someone happy...

    I get no profit from misleading or lying to anyone here as I get no pleasure on LOLing at others' posts trying to discredit people. I showed more evidence that it will start than you showed it won't start.

    My main goal was to assure OP of not starting next week which seemed to be his only concern.

    True, it's early compared to the usual around 14 weeks of a season but true too that Blizzard will change that at their whim without having to formally annouce it to players.

    Good night

    You said it was announced and I asked for a link to said announcement. Period. You provided rumors and texture models. All I wanted was a link, no need to save face I couldn't care less.

    It doesn't necessarily always end on a major patch, but I imagine it's still about 6-8 weeks out. I think this is only week 7 so far.
