Why doesn't the game tell us whenever a shield block or guard happens?

There are a few other oddities with the log too. Example: Drain only shows the amount you're healed by, not the damage it does. Back in the day, that started a rumor that if you cast it with full health, it doesn't deal damage.

I've heard that in the JP client, it actually shows the damage done, not the amount you were healed for.

That aside, I very much agree with the original post's idea: it would be a wonderful addition.
