Before you get a lot of bad replies saying that "the game is fine as it is, don't complain or play another game", I want to say that I totally agree with you: this game has so many restrictions is insane and while I understand where it comes from, it's still quite annoying to have such limitations.

One of my favourite restrictions is the invisible wall over everything: it makes exploring the world nearly impossible, since the slightest change of the terrain won't make you jump down. HW areas are a little better but you can't land anywhere that's not supposed to be walkable or something: flying feels more like a "relief" over these hurdles. I just don't understand this, especially when I come from big games like GW2 (I LOVED exploration in that game) and WoW (worst game ever, bla bla bla, whatever) and exploration in those games was so fun, because it was totally free. And yes also no swimming...come on.

Another issue I have is how the world is limited to macro areas. I guess i can understand why, but I wish the game world was "one big world", and not several areas split into macro areas: even the cities are split in areas, can't they at least be one and only? I really have a hard time immerse myself into this game's world because of this. Even the smallest MMORPG has one big city to explore without loading times!

Oh yeah, and also the 1000 characters limit...that one always gets me.
