Q:
Hello everyone. I’m working on a small website for my guild and i was wondering if we’re able to use one of the GuildWars2 wallpapers as site’s background. To be more specific, i wanna use this wallpaper photoshop’d to something like this one. Obviously, there’s gonna be a link to every page’s bottom section, mentioning its original source like “Background © by GuildWars2”

I know they have a media kit you can download and use. I would start there and with the ToS document they have to check specifics, but there are certainly many sites out there that make use of their imagery. My assumption, would be that as long as you are not claiming it as your original work, and are not endeavoring to profit from it, then they would not find objection to it. To be extra safe, be sure to include a line to the effect of "all images trademark and copyright NCSoft/ArenaNet. It does also advertise their product….
The short answer as far as I know is yes the long answer can be found at the following links.
