*sigh* I would be such a lousy tester. I f I ws in that situation I would think- oh wow! this must be the illusory zone idea they had the idea for!- and then message my friends to come and check out the illusory zone. I might even go so far as to argue with someone more savvy that claims its a bug, and I would say "No, its a feature. I've been trying to figure out the map. See here? it looks open but I am stuck as if I hit a wall, therefore the "real" boundaries is what we cant see! oh my what a challenge."

Two answers here that both end with report it. IF the devs are pro-active and have robust reporting tools that enable me to not have to jump through many hoops, then I try to replicate it one time (maybe a 3-4 times in Alpha/Beta). Get the details of the Who, What, When, Where, and the How this occured/occurs if the devs have demonstrated that they do care about this and are fairly prompt and open about reacting to these scenarios.
IF OTOH, the devs have a proven track record of turning a blind eye, not caring, or in any other way give the distinct impression that I am wasting my valuable time to an almost certain non-response; well if they don't care, then I will care a bit less about reporting it promptly. It will still get reported, but at my leasure when I am bored silly being forced to watch trade spam or something equally repulsive, then I will file a ticket with the bare facts not the specific details. If I get contacted about it later, I can give specifics at that point. At least they cared enough to contact me then.
