This guy claims it's been like that since the beginning. Someone posted that and it's what made me say "WTF?!"
with all there talks about account security, and yet they downgrade the password box???
time to test my password out i guess
Nah, it's been like that for years (on EU servers, at least) - when I set it up, day 1 of EU release, my password had a couple of upper case chars sprinkled in it. A good few years ago, I noticed that the case didn't matter when entering it, as my caps lock button stuck on (but I didn't notice that until I was logged in and started to chat).
So it's definitely not a recent change.
