Okay, first of all, I don't care how cool you think Team CFVY is. Aside from Velvet (who is so completely devoid of character that they didn't even bother giving her her own weapon) they don't even qualifiy as supporting characters. They're tertiary characters, which means they matter even less than Glynda, whose only reason to existe after her entrance was to be Ozpin's more serious assisstant. Hell, Fox doesn't even get that far. He's lower on the totem pole than the Vytal Festival teams.

Qrow, Sun, and Ironwood are all important in their current arcs for varying reasons, so I'm not even going to bother with them.

Thing is, there's this thing called "real-world obligations" that several of these characters have that prevent them from just galavanting off to Mistral to play detective. You know, Glynda trying to help repair Vale/reclaim Beacon since her abilities make her uniquely suited to it and she's the closest thing to a leader the Huntsmen in the area have, Ironwood literally running a country? Things that kind of need to keep happening, especially in a crisis situation?
