If they made it so blocks and such showed up on players characters or had the skills light up when ready, it would just force people to be lazy and not even use chat filters or the logs to see enemy/party abilities activate, which I would say isn't a good thing.
It's not necessarily making people lazy. I have my chat features set up to see when enemies use a special move.. but to set another one to see when I block/parry/evade moves will add up.

Just think in the place of a MRD, where you AoE tank sometimes... you have about 5-6 mobs on top of you and you can't see a thing with the numbers popping up and the sparks flying everytime you or the enemy gets hit.
