This has been a misinterpretation. As stated many times before, we do not talk about beta/release yet, so for the time being, the excerpt from the FAQ is what matters:
"When will there be a beta?
Although we publicly beta-tested the original Guild Wars® while it was still in early development, with Guild Wars 2 we will commence beta testing closer to the game's release. Guild Wars 2 is a very large and ambitious game, and Guild Wars players rightfully have very high expectations. We want players to be absolutely blown away by the game the first time they experience it."
