Yea that is one reply but there was one that they listed (a pretty big list, but not really all important info) of things they could possibly show and i think they even asked which of those items we would like to see if it was possible to show any of it. [NOTE: I found the list, link below.]
Farther along in the post you quoted:
"I followed up with the development team about the possibility of displaying information that is already available on the client-side and they mentioned that they will be proactively looking into ways to display party/alliance TP, MP, and other information
to coincide with the UI revamp timing. "
so maybe not too far off if the UI is anywhere close to being out, wasnt it sposed to be summer?
And even farther along is the list i mentioned:
