I don't (yet) have Guild Wars 2. It seems a little odd that I'd get this. Upon further examination, the e-mail appears to have come from the arenanet servers (via MailGun, which is a legitimate web-based e-mail API service that I have used in projects before--really nice, and their support is amazing):

DKIM suggests that the e-mail is valid, and SPL indicates that the IP address of the originating service is authorized in the guildwars2.com DNS SPL record. So, I did some digging after Josh mentioned to me tonight that there was a brute force attack of some sort performed against the GW2 servers.
I think what this means is, after looking at it, that someone had a list of e-mail addresses and were going through attempting to force an e-mail change. I have no idea if it works (I didn't click the link for reasons that I hope are obvious), but I suspect that if you get a similar message and you didn't try changing your e-mail address, you should probably just delete the e-mail.
As usual, the typical cautions apply: Never click unsolicited links, use strong passwords, don't use the same password for multiple services, and only visit porn sites with a condom wrapped around your ethernet jack (or wifi antenna if you swing that way).
