Will I have to buy more than 2 expansions to experience whole content in GW2? New player.

If you have a ton of time gold to gems is ok, if you don't though it sure is nice to have more bank space character slots and other stuff out of the shop without having to farm hour after hour to get it. Wait on your bag slots and bank stuff until sales occur and they do from what I have seen a couple times a year. if nothing save your gold and convert slowly and save up gems until a sale and use fewer :)

You will probably not need them right away but you will probably want them on the long run for the full GW2 experience. The Living World maps are quite good, so you probably want this content in the long run, at least if you find the time to actually play it. :)

Only for gen 2 legendarys you need ls, for gen 1 you only need the core game maps

Each chapter for Living story is free as long as players log in once during that chapter’s initial live date range. I know this doesn’t help you, but it is Anet’s way of incentivizing players to continue to be active and keep less active players still logging in from time to time.

I think nobody has mentioned this, but you can only play Raids if you have HoT, Raids are literally the hardest and most lucrative PVE content, but take in consideration that for playing that content you need to actually have enough experience with combat mechanics and with your own class, and even follow the metagame.
