Personally, I feel that a story isn't interesting without conflict. The good times are made even greater after terrible times. Sometimes, you have to survive a beating in order to become stronger.

RWBY isn't going to end for a long, long time. Monty once said that he had around 10 years worth of story planned, but RWBY may last for longer than that, since they had to split the first season into Volumes 1 and 2 and then had to move some of their plans from Volume 2 to Volume 3.

Just because times are really tough for the characters right now, that doesn't mean that they're not going to get happy endings. We'll just have to see where things go from here. After all, for all we know, the writers could have the bad guys succeed in what they want to do just to set up for Team RWBY to get to travel outside of Vale, so we can see more of the world and have Team RWBY go on bigger adventures, rather than us having to wait for them to graduate. I mean, they're still in their first year after three Volumes.
