PvP Designer Brian Holinka tweeted that MoP is getting an additional arena season,
which has led to some speculation on Warlords of Draenor's launch date.
At the BlizzCon fansite panel, it was stated that no Patch 5.5 was planned, so if you don't love PvP, you could be in for a long stretch of no new content in Mists of Pandaria.
This is a striking change from the very fast patches at the start of MoP and more in line with the long pre-expansion wait during Dragon Soul.
