I simply couldn't believe that was the case so I tried it. Sure enough, it's not case sensitive. I swear it was in WoW though, unless I just never bothered to check. =) Of course, even on battlenet and resetting the password, it doesn't specifically say it's case sensitive either. I guess I'm just so used to passwords being case sensitive I just assumed it was for bnet too.
Never has been for bnet. WoW was, pre-b.net accounts, but not since b.net merge.
The posters talking about it were basically looking for someone to blame for hacks again. Passwords aren't being brute-forced anyway, just stolen the same way WoW passwords have been stolen for 5+ years.
