Ugh that would be horrible, and as much as I hate to say it, destroy the atmosphere and immersion of the game, getting in game the information of nerfs or buffs to classes would either have to be clouded in purple prose to where they would be incomprehensible or I would just be left wondering what the hell the lodestone and the forums were good for and why have lore at all if you're going to constantly remind me in game that " this is a game, not a cool fantasy world"

The nitty gritty of lore should be in game, the broad strokes should be elsewhere,



However I would not be adverse to an in game lore compendium that was updated... Just patch notes should stay forever on a website or in a launcher, don't put them in the game

it's why i say both it should be in both. Also patch notes aren't considered lore anyway that's more maint.
