Fractal and HoT
I don’t know this for fact, but I reckon all players will have access to the new level fractals. What I believe you won’t have access to is the “Fractal Mastery Track” that we don’t yet have information about. Further, the new legendary backpiece tied to fractals will be for expansion purchasers only:
“Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns players will now have the option of starting a new journey…a legendary journey.”
I must caution again that I don’t know all of this for fact; I am only assuming on some points.
Anet is not doing a great job at clearly showing what content is HoT-only (such as masteries, including masteries for old maps) and what content is coming at the same time as HoT but is available to everyone (such as the new borderlands and stronghold). That said, I think Zalladi is probably right.

All of what you have mentioned has clearly been stated in the blog posts and likely the POI’s.

It has been stated, yes, but I would argue against ‘clearly’.

If someone actually read the blog posts then they would have seen statements indicating whether they were HoT only or not.

how is it not clear when they say stuff like Stronghold will be playable without the expansion, the WvW borderland maps will be available without the expansion? They have said this multiple times if you listen.

Do you have a Cliff’s notes version?

Sorry I am not the best at the whole digging for info thing and I have watched a lot of livestreams and interview it all gets mangled up, I just know I have heard them say it quite a few times that you will not need it to be able to play on the WvW map or the Stronghold map because they don’t want to split the player base. Interestingly when it comes to stronghold they have the whole hero system and you will have Turrai Ossa unlocked but in order to unlock the other two you need Heat of Thorns. Here goes a link to dulfy which is a copy of the blogpost anet posted and have a link to the blog post in it. http://dulfy.net/2015/07/02/gw2-introducing-mist-champions-in-strongholds-pvp-map/
Here’s something that someone did which has references.
