So I’ve been getting several of these emails, and my question is:
Does this mean that they have my correct login information, or is this just an ‘attempt’ to guess my password.

P.S. WTB Authenticator

It’s true that you can turn on auto-attack for an AoE skill and that skill will endlessly repeat. That’s not a bot. I’m all for banning people who are actually botting, but wouldn’t it be easier to simply not allow those types of skills for auto-attack? Banning people for afk’ing in an area where DE’s happen because they have a skill on auto-attack (and therefore look and/or behave like a bot) is worrisome. Do I need to be afraid that if I’m going to be punished if I afk somewhere on my ranger and her pet defends me?

I’m a huge supporter of Anet and of the game, but this just doesn’t sit well with me. On the one hand, I can appreciate a firm hand on rules, but on the other… there’s a line between knowing that you have to behave and being afraid that you’ll turn up a false positive in normal play and lose an account into which we’ve already invested a large amount of time and money.

Can we have some clarification on this issue?

I agree with this.
