We need serious Ruby, Nora, Ren and possibly some serious CRDL development beyond 'Oh, they're the campus bullies. They're all jerks. Cardin is the biggest jerk. No one likes them, but no one does anything about them because they're just jerks. Even the teachers don't care.' Jaune has been developed enough for now - we got two whole episodes dedicated to his developement including what may have been a glance at his semblance (even if he doesn't actually know it).

We also need to maybe move the storyline along a bit, because now that Torchwick is 'in' with Ironwood, it means that Cinder's (if she is indeed the true mastermind behind it all) plans should start moving along at a steady pace and we should start seeing the results of said storyline. Also, the Vytal Festival and the Tournament, which should play into Cinder's plans.

And they need to explain things more, like which colours are which element for Dust, how Aura actually works beyond 'it's an extension of our souls that we can use to make force fields, even though the only one who does that is Ren because asian martial arts influence', and maybe a bit more on how the school systems work - what happens if there is an odd number of students on the year or a team member dies, if everyone is taught to fight from the age of thirteen (going by Ruby's age, she is fifteen and has been at Sanctum for a couple of years, and Beacon goes for 4 years which makes it not too unlikely that Sanctum would do the same thing as a primer school for Huntresses, which would make a total of eight years training to be a Hunter or Huntress) and whether you have to specifically enroll in a primer school for Hunters, or choose to go to a 'standard' school and learn to be a civilian.

They also need to keep the main cast from getting too overcrowded - we have RWBY, we have JNPR, Torchwick, Goodwitch, Ironwood, Penny, Cinder and Ozpin as a secondary main cast, and we have Emerald, Mercury, Neo, CRDL, White Fang Lieutenant, CFVY, Oobleck and Port as the tertiary main cast. Then we have the main extras; Winter Schnee, Tukson, the Shopkeep, Professor, and other named characters so far, and then we have the actual extras; the ones who haven't been named. That's 32 people I've named just there, and they're trying to show all of them and expand on all of them. Any more and we'll flit from character to character and only see RWBY maybe twice a volume and never get anywhere.
