It would have been months of little contact, making them feel like she dropped them. Even if they spectated the Vytal Festival, they wouldn’t really feel like seeking her out.

And then in V4 it’d be super awkward for them to go see her after basically a year of minimal contact. Would they understand how she feels? Not really, because they were only at Beacon as civilians.

As for why; she’s got her time full with her team, training, school, homework, etc. it wpuldn’t be malicious on her part, but it could happen and they’d still feel put off no matter how reasonable her reasons. Feels like a lot of assumptions. Truth is, I am not asking this in a plot sense as much in a writing sense. It seems as if RT threw them in there and then forgot about them. Sure, they can only focus on so many characters, but Volume 3 gave them one of the best chances at introducing new characters and Volume 4 gave them a good pretext for bringing in one or more of these characters. Despite this, we have nothing. Ruby it was established had no friends there since she skipped ahead. Weiss was firmly established to just not have friends in general. Blake very much was not supposed to have friends there as those friends would blow her secret. Yang was immediately established to have friends at Beacon and the idea they just all got kicked out at initation seems like a stretch. Five Volumes later there is now no immediate prospect of us being introduced to these friends.
