I was expecting at least 6 years before having to hear about this.

and after this expansion there is no plans for another expansion/campaign (except for some secret project they are working on we don't know what it is yet, might be GW, might not be) I don't know how they expect us to keep playing an unchanged game for 2 years.
...
I feel betrayed, when guild wars was being advertised they made claims of releasing expansions and whatnot EVERY 6 months. They have only fulfilled that claim one time with nightfall, factions took an entire year and GWEN will be about 10 months after NF....
I feel very much the same way. =[

Of COURSE GW1 will continue strong for many years once GW2 is released....
Except for certain uh, quaint examples and in situations where people don't really have another option, be it technological but usually economical...the answer is yes.

or did i totally miss the sarcasm there.

GW1 PvE will be around for a long long time.
GW2 PvP will go to hell when GW2 comes out.

and how do you know this? it is blatantly obvious that people who have stopped playing are still very active on these forums. just take a look at the countless threads with comments like, "loot scaling is what made me quit." "i havent played since..." "...is the reason i left guild wars". just take a look at any thread thats littered with whiners and then tell me that people who have stopped playing dont come to these forums. such ignorance...

assuming this was sarcasm, yeah your argument is great except we're talking about a video game sequel and not a worldwide technological development. but for the sake of argument...

the amish still use the horse 'n buggy
children still learn to count with an abacus
indian tribes all over the world still use big pots over fire
poor countries without a ready supply of medicine still use leeches

and i dont think any of those things are going to change any time soon. thats what you get for giving such horrid sarcastic examples for a simple question. *sniff* anyone else smell an idiot?
