A: What i should have said is visually difficult to read or make out elements, everything kinda bleeds together with little separation.
B: Personally disagree regarding colour. Im not asking for hot pink, but some toned down colours, borders, background image or texture would improve readability. They seem to be going for more simplistic or minimalistic design but the problem with that is it impacts legibility.
C: Again personally disagree i've never had that issue ever.
D: I can see your point in this. However i dont think the current version is the solution. There needs to be a visual break up of those sections. The reason companies use logos and we use imagery on signage is because our brains recognise imagery much much faster than words. Also you have people that are dyslexic, having just a word is not the answer.
E & F: This is interesting to me because it shows the problem the website designers have, in that everyone is different and making a website that is great for everyone is impossible. Im my experience when people need to know the rules they just google it not look in that tab. My eyes are drawn to the centre first. The Play D&D tab - thats not the way i naturally thought about that tab. When i read Play D&D, i automatically assumed it was targeted towards beginners looking for a place to start or intro rules, a jumping in point. If there isnt total clarity in whats in that tab (and maybe im just blonde) then the name isnt working.
I must admit its very fascinating to read other people perspectives as they are all so different, again highlighting the challenge the designers have. Honestly if they just made things easier to read and break up all the grey and just lists of words with some colours, borders ect - the rest i could live with.

New thing I like—after someone suggested it on Reddit, they added a link to the Rules Glossary under the rules drop down.
Also I like that Unearthed Arcana is there rather than being grouped under sources in Library
