They need to trim the fat when it comes to text, and I'd really rather not have to access a webpage to get important lore information, as that breaks that word that starts with an i, and ends in mmersion. I am certain there is a happy medium between the two.

That doesn't mean get rid of lodestone posts, of course. For nonsense like Raubahns likes/dislikes, or Kan-E-Senna's three sizes, I really do not see the pertinence of that being in the game, so if you're going to divulge that info, let it be on Lodestone. The game itself should possess the important, detailed information, Lodestone should have the frivolous "Oh that's amusing" quips. You know, like how normal MMOs do it.
