Ludicrous.
So, if they showed some screenies and gameplay videos everyone would STFU about Guild Wars 2 being dead? Doubtful.
The very fact that Duke Nukem Forever supposedly had screenies and videos, and was still fake, just shows how stupid this comment is!
Quit comparing Duke Nukem to Guild Wars 2. Duke Nukem Forever was announced in April, 1997. Over 12 years ago. The last game made by 3D Realms (DNF developer) was Shadow Warrior, released May 13, 1997. Yeah, I never heard of it either.

So, yeah, when NCSoft sues ArenaNet for failing to deliver, when they fire Guild Wars co-founder and Guild Wars 2 Executive Director Mike O'Brien, when GW2 has been in development for 12 years.... then you can start making comparisons.
Until then, people like you are just trying to stir up controversy where there is none.
It been 2 years people. Nothing surprising about a company not giving out screenshots of their game after 2 years in development. The only thing ArenaNet did wrong was imply there was going to be betas in the end of 2008.... obviously a mistake they are not going to repeat by making foolhardy comments on release dates or fuel speculation by releasing screenshots.
As for lore, there is going to be a series of books filling in the gaps between Guild Wars and Guild Wars 2.... but I'm sure people will complain about that as well.
