Thanks for the advice, I found out how to check the source IP, turns out it was an ISP in South Korea.

I figured as much, I was alarmed purely because they had somehow hijacked the official email address hence it showing up as on my safe list.

I today received an email, which Hotmail determined was sent by a safe sender, from GW2, it looks really authentic but my “Spidey-sense” was tingling so I didn’t click on the link provided by it.

Does Arena net send out such “click this link to confirm your account” emails? because the email address was exactly the same as the one used to send prior official emails, suggests to me that scammers may have somehow been able to send emails that appear to be authentic.

I can provide the link address for you to check, I didn’t include it in this forum post for security reasons.
