As title and poll say. The topic is not new, but i feel it is getting urgent now.
My personal experience is on option #1.
I am a f2p, but i've been playing since before LoE. Despite the excitement right before and after expansions, the game feels just a grind to me.
In particular,the fact that after a month or so from release you should start saving your gold, means that you are opening very few packs in average, or not at all, concentrating the whole excitement around releases, while in fact making the average Mid-Term seasons a pure grind, of whatever is your main activity.
They are already moving towards this direction, with regular and impactful nerfs and some events like the Summer Festivals. Very good, but personally not enough.
I really think Blizz should introduce systematical Mid-Term events, possibly with minor amounts of new content, like a bunch of new cards, and some extra Bosses and Items in Dungeon Runs, together with the usual free Arena Ticket.
We don't even need bonus gold. Just extra content, involving lesser design effort compared to expansions (it could even be expansion stuff which gets saved for later release), but greatly effective in keeping the game exciting and fresh, as much as possible.
