Can someone explain why the GW2 launcher attempts to open a TCP/IP port on host's machine?

Probably seeding. Or you know, its hacking you and stealing your life, I heard ANet do that.

It cannot be seeding, as there are no outgoing P2P connections.
A proof of this behaviour:
Code:TCP sankrist:7534 sankrist:0 LISTENING 3304 [Gw2.exe]

They have the ability to patch the game from within, so perhaps that is the channel that service listens on?
