Yes, you need zonewide updates.
But we can make the zone wide update smarter, it's only really a problem for mobs that move a significant distance in their roam path. Think large zones like plane of growth or temple of veeshan.
The problem is this:
Player is at point A and receives basic mob initial positions.
Player sees mob at point B 1000 units away but because it's out of update range and mob is a roamer it wont update.
Player moves to point B but mob is at point C 1000 units away because it roamed and now sees the ghosted mob because point C is out of update range too and point B was initial position.
We can make it smarter by sending updates to all players if a npc moves a certain distance threshold I think, then we wont have to send a global update for all npcs.
