Received a suspicious e-mail possibly from a hacker

I received an e-mail from ‘The Guild Wars 2 Team’ w/ the topic ‘Welcome to the World of Guild Wars 2!’

Every time I received mail from them was from ‘ArenaNet’ so… Has anybody else received this e-mail and is it legit? With all the account hacking going on I became paranoid. Honestly it’s pretty sad that I’m paranoid to click that when I actually do have a GW2 account.

I scan the email link VERY carefully before I click, but yes, we do sometimes send things out as The Guild Wars 2 Team. Keep in mind that anyone can put any name in their “sender” profile, so use caution when clicking links in any inbound email.
