I’m pretty sure this is an actual e-mail from the gw2 team, I did what the e-mail requested then promptly changed my password. This being said –
WHY WOULD I BE SUSPECT OF TRYING TO SELL MY ACCOUNT?!!!
I have never said anything in game that would insinuate I want to sell my account or anything on ANY forum that would insinuate this. I do NOT want to sell my account and I am quite curious why ANet would accuse me of trying to sell my account, and send me a threatening e-mail on the topic. I would like a full investigation into what prompted this accusation and I would like to express my extreme disgust with the threatening manner of the e-mail I received. If some random player reported me as trying to sell my account with no grounds for the accusation, I would request that the account which reported me is punished for abusing the reporting system. I paid for this game just like every other player, I put my time into the game to get to where my characters are, while ANet “takes matters of accounts very seriously” I ALSO take the matter of my account very seriously, and if some random angry child can report me and have such repercussions this system is simply ridiculous.
