Why can't we go to the Crystal Desert or Ring of Fire?
There are a ton of areas on the map that aren’t open to players, I’m sure they are reserving stuff for future content.
Because you did not buy the expansion: Guild Wars Primordus.
Content Released:
1. New playable race: Tengu
2. New playable areas include Crystal Desert, and Ring of Fire.
3. New playable class: The Mimic who copies slayed enemy forms and abilities while wielding twin chalk-rams.
4. New playable dungeon: Wizard’s Tower in Kessex Hills feat. the boss Isgarren.
That is all I can reveal for now, hope I answered your question.
Cantha (Corrupt Empire, Jade Sea, Echovald Forest, still overpopulation?) , Elona (Desolation; where Abbadon “fell”, Elon river, Palowa Joko (Bone Palace), Sunspears?); Crystal Desert; Bubbles (Underwater Dragon), Fire Island (Primordus), The Underworld, resurrection of Abbadon!? All things I want to see. Plus Holiday Events. Oh my god Holiday Events. Mad King Thorn!!!

Crystal desert is Probably marked for expansion or patch at least.
As for ring of fire, theyre probably submerged, with orr rising and all.
I also hated both those areas, so yeah .:p
I cannot stress enough how glad I am that the ring of fire has not returned.
I have some very terrifying memories from the ring of fire

This game is not finished like you said. They will be adding a ton of content in the future, for now just enjoy the game, as Cantha and Elona will probably be released soon enough.
If they follow they same model as they did with GW1 they will release more areas and content fairly often without any extra cost, then there will also be expansions in the form of Elona and Cantha to come which will cost you about the same as the original game and bring just as much content and updates.
Should note that they are still even now working on some content for GW1, however the GW1 team is smaller due to many being moved to GW2 but still, they have it active and will release more free stuff there.
ArenaNet hasn’t from what I’ve seen ever really placed money before players which is very unique for a major studio.
EDIT:;
Colin Johanson on free content updates in GW2
No need to buy them, Gw2 will feature consistent free content updates and in-game events going forward. Our goal is to make it so you get more from Gw2 for free than you get from a game you pay a subscription for.
On top of a large amount of free bonus content, we will be expanding on offerings in the Black Lion Trading Company going forward, as well as be doing large-scale expansion content down the road.
We’ll cover a lot of the details on the kind of support and plans we have in place over the next month or so on the Gw2 blog and with our press partners.
We do appreciate that you’d like to buy lots of new content, but we’d prefer to give a lot of it to you for free, cause that’s what we think a responsible MMO company does!
