Not sure where else to place this (not really a 'bug' or anything, move it if it's in the wrong spot), but the user login requests should be SSL encrypted. Right now the user and password for someone are sent cleartext when logging in. Since accounts will essentially be worth money after launch, it would probably be a good idea to make sure people can't steal passwords. (Yes you have to be able to sniff the network traffic but that's pretty trivial via any public wifi or for anyone who owns the routers/network someone is using to play on.) Doing the same to the requests with the auth tokens (including the store requests) would probably also be a good idea...
