the crazy thing about the post is that if blizzard actually built a system that tracked in real time where i was and could then spawn an event after i had passed it they would have one of the most advanced AIs in the industry and they would deserve to screw with me. sadly if programs like maphack existed for d3 as they did for d2 they could show the location of every mob on every map the minute you start a game as it loads everything at the start. For them to create a real time map that not only changed the location of mobs but actually spawned events only after you hit certain things and then passed them they would need much worse graphics just to let us play lag free.

My best guess as to why there is a cast bar is so that they dont have people complaining about lag every time they id a bag of gear I dont know if anyone has noticed but this is a server + client based game that requires you to be online the reason there is a cast bar is likely so the server and client can talk about the items without just hitting you with a lag spike
