I like lore like that being on the lodestone. I don't go in game to read I go in game to play.
Also, when I come to the lodestone, I love to see lore posts. I enjoy them. They should keep that how it is.
The reason they put that stuff on the official lodestone site is because there is no place for it in game and if they didn't put it here it wouldn't exist and that doesn't really bother a vast majority of people.

What they should to is make the lodestone available in game.

Ya but wouldn't you enjoy it more if you could buy a weekly/monthly news paper in game?

Make lodestone available in game. Problem solved. Also a lot easier than going to "X Y Z" area to go read something.

So what you want is.... the lodestone available in game but it not be the lodestone but be a newspaper instead. I'm going to assume you don't understand the pointlessness of this so I'll spell it out for you.

I do not want my sub fee money going towards developing a news paper system when there is already the lodestone and it would be a LOT easier if they just made the lodestone able to be accessed in game at any time in place of your news paper idea.

Sub fee? I was just talking thinking gil. The newspaper can have other things as well, like who killed what when stuff like that.

/facepalm
I'm talking about game development money that would otherwise be spent on other things. The main reason I'm even paying for this shitty game is to support 2.0 and if they spend that money on making pointless newspapers when they have the same thing on the lodestone then I'd be pretty pissed off.
And your "other things" can be on the lodestone if they choose to do that. Drop the newspaper idea, it's pretty redundant since there is the newspaper here on the lodestone and it would just be easier to implement an in game menu based source of accessing the lodestone.

The game should tell you the story, not a website. This is why the grand company leaders are so boring to me. Yes they have a cutscene that makes them look cool, but if you want any information about, instead of doing it in awesome quest line where you fight/talk with them. You have to go to the website.

That is how you get attached to characters. I used to not like the Ul'dah grand company leader, till I say that he seemed like a pretty cool guy when he swore his loyalty to that little, adoreble, queen/princess of Ul'dah lalafel.

Or Hildibrand, you don't read about him on the website, you see his actions in game and he is a riot. Which is why I like him.

This makes no sense. You interact with characters in game and you learn about the story in game not on the lodestone. The lodestone just has extra info that was not fit in game. I don't see how an autobiography fits into any type of quest.

Even MMOs with in-game FAQ/Newspaper modules get no love from most players lol.

"How I mine for fish?"

"..The FAQ tells you how to mine for fish, it's located with the ? Help button next to your settings (gear icon)."

"Why would I read something? I'm here to play a game not read!"

etc.

As I said, if they make something like POL for XIV's launchers, they can easily attach Lodestone articles to it, that solves that issue.

then why do they waste their time with it on the website at all? you aren't making a good argument

Sorry I have to say this that was just kind of redundant I know what you were meaning behind the post but the first line " I don't go in game to read I go in game to play." One of the first thoughts I think of every time I see it is.. but you play on mmorpg... that requires a lot of reading, ie: quests, talking to people no matter in what way, mention again quests... your journal on what you are doing your menus.... Sorry I can't help but laugh about it. You go in the game and read anyway so what's the difference if they add the lore to the game?
