These "headline updates" on the lodestone are starting to depress even me. And Im a "fanboy". (ToT)

Please. SE. Just tell us the resize is a temporary measure while you make new spell animations.

Quite the contrary. Every devXXXX post should (and probably will) go there. At the moment it's more or less always the same people discussing devXXXX topics on the forum. Fossilization in feedback is never a good thing, so it's a good idea to make new dev threads more visible (attracting more people to discuss) by putting them on the lodestone.
The purpose of the lodestone is exactly that, announcing things. There's no reason why it should be limited only to major updates.

1 - What you see is what you get.There is Nothing else ready for a long time.
2 - The Yoshida marketing scheme just went down the drain.If you dont got something good to say, then dont say anything at all.

3 - (and most logical one) from now on all the devXXXX threads will be posted on the lodestone to attract more discussion and feedback on them from players that normally don't actively take part on the forums. Given that the post count of the one that opened this thread is 1, I would say it's working.

Looks like quite a lot people are quite evidently considering it a worthy subject of discussion.

Yea , the sad part is the devs them selfs posted that, so it must be important to them.if you really dont see anything wrong with this, ill just ignore everything you say.

The dev forum is filled with a crapton of dev subjects, some important, some less. They had to start somewhere, and they put on the newest one. Since, you know, the front page is normally for news.

It wouldn't have made any sense making a news post saying "we posted this on the dev forum 3 weeks ago. Discuss".

Again, despite the fact that the usual suspects can't help to take advantage of this to gratuitously bash the game and the development team, the post generated quite a bit of interesting discussion, and attracted at least one new user to the forum, ergo it served it's purpose.

It's simple logic.
