I really feel that doesn't apply here. You can already easily associate the unitIds provided by combat events with the detailed unit information provided by event effect changed. All that's being asked for here is the ability to get the unit id for the unit you're looking directly at while you're looking directly at them. It wouldn't compromise the anonymity of players who hadn't otherwise triggered circumstances/events that would already allow the association of their unit ID and character information, it would just allow us to do so without a bunch of ugly and ill-performant lookup tables.
Considering that it's actually really easy to do this already with very simple lookups if you're only concerned about players (since players have unique names anyway) this is only really even an improvement for dealing with NPCs.
