That's entirely possible but, as Siul said, it's a risk in the early days of a game. It can be a risk throughout a game's life, in fact -- I've seen quest rewards change in games 2 years down the line, if not more.
I'm not particularly item-centric, so I'll admit this doesn't bother me too much -- the way I figure it, especially for levels 1-20 or so, is that if they add something really neat in a few months I'll probably be past having a use for it anyway, no matter how great. Now, if it were a house-trophy or something I get all enthusiastic about, I'd be right there with you waving my placard.
Change, however, is a constant in games, and it's not just some disclaimer used on splash screens. An MMO is never finished -- thank god, since it's what keeps me and others (I suspect) coming back for more.
Note that if any quest ends up giving any item that *must* be obtained by a given class, you will
never be stiffed by the devs. They'll find a way to let you redo the quest or give you the item, or do a similar quest. We saw that routinely in beta where it mostly had to do with "flags" rather than items, but the basic principle is the same.
