Jamie,
You can't imagine how much your message means to us. We have worked very hard over the years to improve things bit by bit. So it is very nice to see that some people appreciate this.
This said, we still receive complaints about this or that. We know that there are still a few teething problems with the user interface. In particular the first few minutes/hours on the platform can be a bit daunting. A few extra messages here and there as well as a bit of simplification is certainly in order. As an example, I think that, for those who know a game, the tutorial will not be mandatory any more. The training mode will be available straight away. Also, restricted access to the inn should be better explained (when you don't have a white meeple).
