I sort of agree that not being able to finish a set is "stupid", but that adds to the challenge. Do you dare to farm out all the monsters, or save some so you can beef up your "needs 50 victory items"?
Being able to use the map labeller/editor helps you keep notes on key items you might have or remember, etc.
Crossworlds helps a little bit on the balance, either that or I just got really lucky.
Impossible Mage, no re-loading, phantom and call phoenix was immediately available on the first island along with rune mages.
I found resurrection reasonably early too, before or around I started stomping around Verona.
I also found some damage resist items already, and I am only level 25.
