I think the recall tiles the way they are is fine. It makes going to the UW more of an adventure. We don’t want everything in this game to be easy mode.
Also about the losing items in UW. I think when you log off in UW you stay logged in. So a goblin can go and steal items from you. Mobs can attack you and you autoattack back. So eventually you can even break your weapon or armor due to dura loss from attacks. Not sure if that’s what happened in that person’s case. But honestly, you shouldn’t be logging out in UW…
