why aren't you getting rid of the burst AR and TAR?

doesn't the rail and combat rifle make them obsolete?
Also weren't they place holders?

Plus now gallente get 4 guns, then ammar gets 2, minmatar gets 2, caldari get 2.

Blasters: Full-auto/Burst/Long range/Breach
Rail guns: Full-auto/Long range
Projectiles: Full-auto/Burst
Lasers: Full-auto/Charge

So you remove burst and Long range variants of the current weapon, and now every rave gets a automatic weapon, and a weapon based on their racial technology.

Also this would open up the breach for a serious buff. Cut the guns range in half, give it a huge damage increase and RoF nerf. It's a blaster, now that we have 4 racial types of the weapon you can balance them more effectively. !

CCP Remnant said this about AR variants, and other rifles getting their own other variants (beides just assault variants).

Can anyone in CCP CONFIRM or DENY this is still planned? Will the AR be the only one who gets all the variants?

A promise is defined as a declaration of assurance, a claim of what will happen, to give good ground for expectation; I'd say a dev post saying something will happen is plenty good grounds to expect it. The word "promise" itself is not required for something to be a promise.
Why are you always doing this anyway? whenever someone tries to hold CCP to their word you have to swoop in and find loop holes.
I remember when you even claimed weapons, vehicle, and dropsuit racial variants were NEVER promised within 1 yr from Fanfest despite you yourself having been there. I had to link you the talk (Advancing the core) where they said they'll be out within 6 to 12 months of the time of that Fanfest. Speaking of which, I'm actually hopeful and optimistic that they will be able to keep that promise.
