Interesting; the patch notes do seem to imply that. I thought they had suggested previously that you'd be able to continue levelling even if you didn't have Heavensward, but perhaps they only meant that you'd continue to get experience while completing the level 50 quests as long as you purchased HW (which is what is implied by the patch notes). If that's the case, I suppose that means that even people who haven't finished 2.0 yet would be better off buying HW before they reach level 50. I guess we'll know for sure in a day...
