..Which is exactly what most modern MMOs have been practicing for the past few years. There's still no advantage unless you can prove that Immortal Flames for example gives you complete game changing advantage over Maelstrom for example -- I want to see a quest from Immortal flames that will progress your character further than if you join Maelstrom, I also want to see how joining Maelstrom or Twin Adder will progress you slower.

That's unbalance. Items that will be obsoleted isn't unbalancing anything.
