This is already being spun all sorts of different ways on the big MMO blogs and none of the spin is positive - Strain's major responsibilities were Aion and Guild Wars 2, and considering how close the Aion launch is, the timing of this is all wrong.

Jeff Strain, the driving force behind Guild Wars and Co-Founder of ArenaNet, has left NCsoft West. He had, since NCsoft’s North American reorganization last year, served as the President of Product Development for NCsoft West and was considered by many to be the primary creative mind at the company.
Also departing is their President of Publishing David Reid.
