People on Battle.net tend to not like IRC. From what I've seen, 85% of the time, it's been that way.

Passwords sent in plain text? What is this :p
Edit: Yes, what Kp said, showing off IP, too

and don't forget that most servers like showing off your IP, so that script kiddies like Bsd can DDoS you!

There are a few people here that go on battle.net that just listed servers.
@ UserLoser: You don't have to log in, you know. Having a registered nick is optional. :)
@ Kp: From the majority of the servers I have been on, you can mask your IP with a vhost of some sort.
I tend to use tmp's server and Gamesurge.

What's the point of having accounts if they don't require passwords? (Yes I knew that they didn't before my post, but according to RFC 1459 passwords if used are sent in plain text). I can go on as Newby, mask my IP with a vhost of some sort and say I'm you, that's just lame and blehish :P
The server I go on masks my IP automatically but I don't know that there is no way for someone to dig it up.
My favourite server is EFnet.

Unrealircd includes modules (by default) that use 3 user-configured cloaking keys to mangle users' hosts. Only the server can then decipher the hostname. This is only done if the proper usermode is set (+x). It is by default.

That's what SSL connections are for:

Public key algorithm: rsaEncryption (1024 bits)
--- Public key algorithm uses ephemeral key with -1073744936 bits
--- Sign algorithm md5WithRSAEncryption (0 bits)
--- Valid since Aug 27 08:47:37 2004 GMT to Aug 27 08:47:37 2005 GMT

--- * Verify E: self signed certificate.? (18) -- Ignored
--- Connected. Now logging in..
Note that now, not only are passwords sent encrypted, but ALL information including chat is encrypted. The data is not decrypted until it reaches the clients, the server cannot intercept. Servers that allow secure/non-secure connections and the ability to create secure connection only (+z) channels as a regular user offer flexible solutions to creating privacy for picky individuals while allowing other users to opt out and just use general chat.
