I bet that the content (racial variants of dropsuits, weapons, and vehicles) promised at Fanfest 2013 will not arrive on schedule. They said it would come in the near future (near future was defined as 12 months or less); this means by next Fanfest basically, so we should have the racial weapons (rifles, knives, pistols), racial vehicles (LAVs, HAVs, dropships), and racial dropsuits (missing light and heavy frames) around early May.

How many of you think we will actually have all that stuff by then?

I am almost certain it will be just another big disappointment, like the promise of PVE by 2012 (didn't happen), MTAC mechs by early 2013 (not happening), MCC commanders + deployable installations + 64 player battles promised in 2009 (4 years later, still not here), the 48 player battles promised in 2012 (not happening despite the game is still advertised as 48 player) and EVE players hiring Dust players to fight over their stuff (pretty much the premise of the game, still not happening anytime soon). Prepare yourself for imminent disappointment.

I'm calling it.

Keep in mind that the man who directed Battlefield 2142 was hired to CCP about a month ago, and appears to be occupying CCP Jian's position.

Look at what they've done for 1.4, and what they have planned for 1.5.

I think the time for pessimism may finally be at an end.

None of that is a promised racial variant. I'll stop being pessimistic when i see new weapon, dropsuit, or vehicle models.

One of the developers made a post in a thread I used to be Subscribed to about working on "three new toys" that he hoped we'd see soon. He then listed three names that sounded Minmatar, and you'll recall that right now there are 3 types of vehicle for each race. Take from that what you will.
