no guild wars 2 expansions currently planned
Expansions are definitely something that we’ll potentially look at in the future," he explained. "We don’t have a timetable on it. We’re open to it, but I think our major focus as a studio is making the living world concept as strong as possibly can for the players that we’ve got.

TBH I would be surprised if there isn't one by the end of this year. Regardless of how good/bad the gem shop is doing I would believe they need to do this.

It is true that Kongzhong is our Chinese publisher and that we are working with them to release Guild Wars 2 into the Chinese market. But like with the release in North America and Europe, we will do extensive beta testing, and the feedback of those tests will determine the time when we will release the game in China.
It is also true that we have said in the past that we will do an expansion at one point. But currently we are fully committed to expand the world of Guild Wars 2 through our Living Story (you can read more about it in this blog post by narrative designer Angel McCoy)

Sandbox means open world, non-linear gaming PERIOD!
Subscription Gaming, especially MMO gaming is a Cash grab bigger then the most P2W cash shop!
Bring Back Exploration and lengthy progression times. RPG's have always been about the Journey not the destination!!!
Well, if they continue to bust out content I would be just as happy. Don't really see a "sad" part. As a business move it seems silly though.
Neverwinter I don't believe will cause a big dent on any game and TESO will probably be short lived.
Well I'd say between those two reports it pretty much clinches it that there will be no expansion this year anyways.
Makes sense, now that its more of a traditional MMORPG it likely will follow WOW's two year expansion cycles. I'm sure there's still millions of potential GW2 customers out there that haven't given the title a try yet, and ANET maybe focusing on trying to lure them in to the original game.

I don't expect Neverwinter's going to do that well, personally. I could be wrong, but it looks very 'been there done that'.
strange about China market to me: since like December I noticed many Asian players, even chat looked Chinese time to time.
may be they just bought digital copy? or you mean no GW2 on Chinese?
about x-pack: I guess as like 30% of guys who bought GW2 still like it or even play it, next x-pack will not be very popular / profitable.
at least I'll never buy anything like that anymore.
try before buy, even if it's a game to avoid bad surprises.
Worst surprises for me: Aion, GW2
This is really wierd. How are they going to make money if they don't sell expansions. I personally would like to see a new expansion once every year
GW1 received tons of content in a very short period of time. IT will be really sad if GW2 doesn't 
They can release an expansion once every year but without raising the level cap and making all other content absolute. A new expansion can include tons of new zones, new classes, new forms of progression at max level, new features such as housing/guild halls, PvP game modes - e.g. GvG, HA, Capture the Flag etc.

I hate to say this, but I have gotten quite bored with the game recently. The sad part is that I absolutely had tons of fun for the first few months of playing GW2. I love the exploration part of the game, the jumping puzzles, the event quests. But after doing all the events, discovering 99% of the land and accomplishing all of the jumping puzzles, I find myself bored with the game. I am not the type of gamer that likes to create a brand new character, only to do the exact same content. That is why i hope that Anet continues to pump out more and more content.
But to hear that they are not planning any new expansions is a real disappointment to me. I would be more than happy to pay what ever they want to charge me to be able to explore new content, get some new dynamic events, and tackle some new jumping puzzles. The WvWvW bores me. It seems like the same old crap every day. Battlegrounds are even more stupid imo. And GW2 dungeons just dont do it for me. Fractals are a repetitive grind.
I really hope that ANet gets cracking on some new lands to play in soon. I want a reason to keep spending my hard earned money in their gem store.
They are adding to the dynamic events and making going back to maps you have done before worth doing again. They have talked about adding meta events, kinda like a dynamic event that takes a zone working together to trigger a zone wide event so big it will take mass of players to finish. Lets see if they can get this to be something players want to do.
I do not think they will add any more professions. They said that was a big mistake in GW and made it hard to balance professions in PvE/PvP, although they had dual professions in that game.
I'd have guessed an expansion was already halfway through production.
Think we will see new weapons before new classes. Rounding out whats there first.
Well ... Yeah. GuildWars 2 is not GuildWars. Its a fact. In every corner they mention this "Living World/Story" shit ... You can't hear that anymore. Even the personal story didn't feel that good as the story in GuildWars: Prophecies + add-ons.
They try to urge that ... feeling of a living world or that "storytelling" ... To be honest: This is just b*llshit. I don't want to hear something irrelevant about some escaping Norns from the west, I want to be able to forge a community with its own story.
As a player I don't need to hear something about "this is your personal story" and so on. To be honest: GuildWars story was directed by "primary quests" - But the story just felt epic. DUDE YOU FOUGHT AGAINST RURIK HIMSELF! ...
Its less about "sandbox" or "themepark"-stuff ... But even GuildWars had some dungeons like Furnace of Sorrow where you were not leaded by a story.
No, they didn't. There was "new content" as some quests and annual events like Helloween Even. And this GuildWars 2-pre-release event ... And so on. But you would never expect content of "GuildWars: Nightfall" as a free content-patch. Nor you would "Eye of the North".
Storylines in GuildWars were mainly supported by new expansions. They just started during GuildWars 2-pre-release along with that new kind of event.
Ya, who cares for expansions you have to pay for when they keep giving content for free lol
Using the term "continue to bust out content" implies that have been continusly busting out content sincle launch...which...they have not been, thus, this is sad news.
