As yoshi already said: You will be able to level to 60 even if you do not get Heavensward - but that's about it. And it is just fair, why should they get anything that we paid 25-35+ bucks for?
Erm, no they won't be able to level to 60 without buying the expansion. Anyone that does not buy the expansion will not have access to ANY new content contained within the expansion. There's a reason the new level cap is listed as part of what you're buying with the expansion on the back of the box. The only things non-buyers will get to enjoy are updates to existing content such as changes to housing or old dungeons/trials/raids.

All the soldiery tomes will likely be converted to poetics and all the current soldiery items will become poetics items. I imagine the weekly cap will be entirely removed in 3.0 as well since there's no point in gating access to those pieces of equipment any longer. The reason they haven't removed the weekly cap already is to try and keep people active up until launch; most MMOs suffer from an infamous activity lull immediately prior to an expansion as people burn out and feel they have little to do.
