I noticed these are expansions. Do we need the base game to play?

I purchased this code after having a great time with the Heart of Thorns expansion. When entering the code provided after my purchase, I got an error of "Serial Code Not Recognized by System. Try Again Later." After seeing that I immediately put in a support ticket with Arenanet (Guild Wars 2) asking why this code wasn't activating on their site. The response I received was as follows:
"Thank you for contacting Guild Wars 2 Support.
After looking into that key for you, I've found that it already seems to have been applied to an account about a year ago. Unfortunately, as this purchase was done through a third party, we cannot offer to change or replace the key. If you were wanting to replace this key, you would have to get in contact with the third party retailer (Amazon) and ask their support.
If you have any further questions or issues, let me know and I'd be happy to help."
Upon seeing this I promptly dialed up Amazon to get a code reissued to me only to have them say that "they are simply the retailer and not the manufacturer and that I would have to talk to the manufacturer (Arenanet/Guild Wars 2) as they do not offer refunds for digital content".
So unless you want to be robbed $55 only to get the runaround from both ends I would suggest only purchasing codes through Guild Wars 2 in-game store (As their website's store doesn't work on most browsers... the reason I bought from Amazon in the first place...) I'm also curious how Amazon is allowed to sell these faulty codes if they aren't even listed as an Authorized Game Retailer on Guild Wars 2 website, only for Gems.
Please learn from my experience so that my loss isn't wasted!

The code they provided seems not to be legit to GW2's system. I had to contact customer service on Arena.net to get some help since I can't get a refund on this platform.

The Base Game is free to play, so you can claim that and buy the expansions there if you want to have it all in one place.
If you buy the addons at ArenaNet, you can get all three expansions (Heart of Thornes, Path of Fire, and End of Dragons) for $32.49
Edit: according to the Steam FAQ's for GW2... "If you created your account through the official Guild Wars 2 website, you cannot log in to it through Steam, or vice versa. You will need to continue playing on your account using the launcher downloaded from the Guild Wars 2 website."

Can't believe I missed the free Heroic Edition giveaway from NVIDIA last year...

If you get it from ArenaNet you need to use their launcher. I guess it's up to each person as to which they'd like better.
Also, had no idea about the Heroic Edition giveaway. Bummer on that.

The base game is free to play and yes, you will need it. With the expansions you will get two lvl 80 boosters if you want to use them. I would level one character without it first but get Path of Fire to ensure you can use mounts and get around more easily.
