This is nonsense. Let players be responsible for their own accounts. We don't need to be protecting people from their own stupidity, even those who lack common "sence". Very few other services insist on randomly generating passwords. Making it harder to login to your account is not a good way to retain players.

findplayer() and findplayerbycommunityname(). People don't understand when to use them because they try using communit name's instead of account and it can't find them. It IS messy. But its not rocket science. there should be 0 complaints from anyone about the current system.
We are lacking functions to convert between account and commityname, there is still a bug with communityname (which is empty if one has not been chosen; it should instead be the account), and the released Windows RC (which most developers use) does not support community names in the playerlist.
