I am irritated that the episode length for some episodes are only 4-5 minutes long, but cmon Monty and Co after using the time they could have been for creating animation fight scenes fro RVB to make this show, so instead of just one awesome episode a week, they give us two episodes of interesting plots to look forward to during the week. So it is understandable that the length is somewhat shorter than what we want it to be.

After watching episode 14.... I was LIKE PISSED OFF ANGRY JOE STYLE, not saying that it was terrible, but I was looking forward to a Blake alone moment in Forever Fall and Adam perhaps watching her from a tree as she and teams RWBY and JNPR left the forest. Jaune's moment of badassery to impress the ladies and letting us know that PyrrahXJaune is temporarily canon (don't argue about it in this thread), but well... I was like bored.

If they do a huge cliffhanger like Kakumeiki Valvrave I would like to know why but that is probably going to happen since the 1st volume is only 16 episodes long.

It needed to be done sooner rather than later to bring JNPR up to a standing par where they could leave them alone for long periods of time. Jaune was a very weak hole in the two-team lineup and nobody wants Jaune to become a Jar Jar Binks (least of all himself).

I was a bit disappointed that they decided to make Jaune a side hero instead of making him the Jar Jar Binks of RWBY. I personally would have thought him being Jar Jar Binks like would have been a highlight of the show, but now Jaune is merely a wannabe hero in stead of the "damn" lucky fool who helps and hurts the team in a comedial fashion. If they had kept him like Jar Jar then it wouldn't have affected the team much because his team's firepower and strength is not exactly diminished without his input.
