You're seriously only allowed 8 spells?!

Yes, only 8 spells at any given time and there's no work around I know other than acquiring items who can cast spells, ie:

Spell selection for these 8 slots is actually an important skill for any caster and there's no one right way to do it. Everyone has its own theories and habits. As someone mentioned, memorizing a spell takes a while now that you're level 5, but it will be really really fast after a few levels. I think by level 20-25 you will barely see the memorization progress bar. Your only concern will be spell gem refresh, which ... well, you'll learn it soon enough.

cruel individual who decided to disable spellsets explains to me why this was decided.

The devs disabled it to make the game as close to classic EQ as possible. They disabled (or didn't implement) hundreds of other modern EQ features that were "unclassic" to their taste. Personally I agree with all their choices except maybe a couple such as how dispell works and buff duration removal. They did a world class job at recreating a museum-quality classic game of EQ.
Spell sets take a challenge (spell selection) out of the game at least partially, but classic EQ was good because it had many challenges, not because it was easy.

I am baffled in disbelief and discouragement if this is real. This discourages buffing people, wtf? "Sorry, I'd buff you but I have to sit here and rebind all the buffs to my 8 slot only spellbar, then I have to rebind my normal spells afterward which is a huge hassle."

Don't forget that by the time you reach level 60, you'll have about 200 memmable spells. You'll have to make choices anyway. 8 happens to be the number P99 uses but with, say, 12 slots, you'd still have the same problem to some extent.
