Invisible fences or walls

Please tell me that AoC will not contain thoes God awful artificial and invisible barriers that stop egress for no reason (not one that was provided anyway). The barriers that exist for no reason other than some Dev or admin deaming it was out of some unshared necessity that PCs can move through. I do not like even bushes (any one can go over or through thoes) or even a rock no bigger than or insurmountably smoother than any other rock that we have climed before. I also hate short fences or walls that we would otherwise be able to go over, through, arround or under but illogically can't. Please no "Cabin in the Woods" or "Under the Dome" collision barriers; they ruin imersion.

They already had someone mage teleport through the gate barrier at PAX before a match started, so expect stuff like that to be fixed well before launch.
But yes, your understanding is consistent with my original query. Hopefully we can get a IS Developer to officially weigh in. If they need to block us from entering an area I hope they make it feel organic instead of the world just ending or some land mark that makes no sense to be an obsticle. I hate
"There's a tree blocking my path. Okay I'll go around it, it is a tree after all I can't just move it. And for some reason I can't climb the tree either. Huh what kind of sorcery is this? I can't go around this tree because some how this daisey is 4 feet wide and 8 feet high and is an immovable object. Am I going mad or do the Gods really not want me to go through here?"
Put I guess that the idea of putting geographical barriers like rocks or mountaints instead of invisible walls should do it, I mean, It's called open world for a reason, so something invisible that blocks me for no reason well..as you said..it ruins your experience
