D&D 5E Why is the wizards site so hard to navigate?

[Evenglare]

So this topic is a bit of a vent of frustration with navigating the D&D site. It looks like they have gone with this slick new view and honestly I haven't visited the site much. I always come here and find links to the junk on the site. Well anyway I've been gearing up for another session and wanted to print out the unearthed arcana and I just... I have no clue how to get there on the site.

I have a challenge (and it might be the easiest thing in the world because I clearly might be blind but...) I want to know the steps to take to get to the unearthed arcana stuff from the site. I don't want direct links, I don't want "search" BS. I want to know from the home site of http://dnd.wizards.com/ the exactly clicks I need to get to a list of the unearthed arcana posts.

The ONLY thing I see that could possibly lead me there is at the VERY bottom there is a link to the Mystic UA. But even then that doesn't give me all of the UA material. If I were a brand new player and didn't go on sites searching around for stuff I would probably not even know any of that stuff exists at all. Am I the only one that feels this way?

As a nifty bonus I have no clue where to get ANY 4e stuff. This site looks fantastic but it's one of the worst messes I have ever had to navigate. Hell, as much as I roam the internet, I can't help but wonder if wizards has been putting other stuff out that I have completely passed up because I can't find anything there.

Yeah, I have to say, I loathe the Wotc site. Why do they bury so much material? Is it really that hard to provide a bloody site map?

I agree the WOTC site is not very friendly or simple to navigate and could use a good reorganization.

Apart from the fact that the "Media" menu should be renamed "Downloads", I actually think it's okay.

Please dont give them ideas. Everytime they "update" anything it becomes much much worse than it was. One more round of "improvements" and the entire site is reduced to one cyclic dropdown menu where all clicks leads back to one of the previous levels. The ultimate, nightmarish, Kafka:istic defense against intruders (or "customers") that are looking to steal you secrets (or "access your content").

I have also completely given up on the wotc site (not to mention their community) as a source for news. If anything happens someone will post about it here.

This is why I have ENWorld set to load every time I open Chrome...

Their sites are always pretty horrible. They favour pretty over functionality and access to past content.h
