As always, most things are in the eyes of the beholder. As it is with 5e; most of us have our preferences and problems with the edition based on our own desires. But are there certain things we can boil down to say "as a group, we can agree that this is a true issue with the edition". Things in the edition that very few would say "I like it this way", and almost all would prefer some change in the direction.
I imagine such a list might be very small all said and done, but I'm curious if such a thing might exist.
I only have one to start off with:
The gold issue: While many of us might argue what gold should be used for....I think we can all agree that 5e provides a lot of treasure that ultimately has no purpose in the game. What is the use of a reward that has no value? Whether the edition should remove gold in favor of other rewards, or reward gold more....I hope we can agree that the current middle state is not a good design space.
