Segmentation/scoring incapable of distinguishing records that visited many pages

I was surprised to find out that current segmentation/scoring is incapable of distinguishing a record who visited 1 page during their session vs a record who visited 20 pages during their session. To eloqua this all falls under the umbrella of "visited website 1 time". I was under the impression that we could segment/score based on the # of pages someone visited. This is not the case, you can only segment/score based on the # of "sessions" a user racks up (meaning they have to close their browser/tab for a session to complete). Upon learning this is not core functionality, it was suggested that i offer this up as an idea to see if it gets traction. What do you all think?

Agreed. Being able to assess how much content was viewed and not just that a session happened would be extremely valuable, especially for scoring. Thanks for bubbling this up, Joseph.

100%! Eloqua has a lot of web related data, but it is difficult to access, siloed, and use within the core platform. Or, its just not accessible within the core platform for use.
I have a similar Idea posted (https://community.oracle.com/topliners/discussion/4476833/add-page-view-activities-to-the-account-engagement-score-calculation) more at the Account, but both Contact and Account level web data should be easy to access and use throughout.
To get around the core platform gaps, I've relied a lot on using the web related areas in Insight to extract and transform the web data. I then use Agents to automate export files which are emailed to me as attachments and use Microsoft Power Automate flows to save the excel file attachments to an ftp. I then have a series of Auto Synchs to import the data BACK into Eloqua.
Its a convoluted process that has many points of failure, but its automated and flexible.
