Regarding WGTniv's post on this subject:
one major inconvenience that i've found thus far (as compared to the previous GUI) is that when you select a multiplayer round the preferences no longer remain static. Meaning that when you set you multiplayer preference to "ranked" or "pro+" it defaults and you have to reselect these options.
Before the game client would remember your specific interests so there is some loss of semantics here.
