Like, when Penny explains her deal she flat out says that the point of making a sapient combat robot with her own soul was so that they didn't have to risk human lives anymore. If she can't be rebuilt or replaced when she's destroyed then effectively all sending her out into the field is doing is rising a much more expensive human life.

With things like that, a good number of details are probably also set in advance.

...Honestly, I kind of wish that RWBY ended and we got more Camp Camp. That actually held my attention and there were still unresolved plot threads, but no, that one's apparently over.

...RWBY feels like Harry Potter, if Harry and Hermione got caught freeing Sirius Black at the end of Prisoner of Azkaban and had to go on the run with him and never got to go back to Hogwarts and 90% of the supporting cast never turned up again.
Tvtropes is not a viable/valid source for this and that feels like a weak excuse at best because then their should have been some ground work on the fight scenes which would have drastically improved the fight scenes of those 2 seasons.

I gotta admit that Harry Potter idea sounds oddly fun except for the supporting cast bit. standard magic academy story and then part way into book 3 the protagonist goes on the lamb.
