When Team RWBY travels to a remote region to fight Grimm, then we talk about humanity's greatest threat. After all, I believe you've forgotten that the Grimm has ceased to be one since quite some time ago (due to some heroic past that can be turned into the exact tragedic adventure you want, I'm sure). I can accept that explanation. I'm just saying that the Grimm, the supposed scourge of Humanity, suddenly become victims of the Stormtrooper Effect and get slaughtered almost immediately without doing anything beyond maybe get a near miss on someone. It's just not fitting.

As for the "exact tragedic adventure", I was hoping the volume finale would set the stage for the next volume by expanding on No Brakes, the Grimm are here, the battle to save the city and Beacon has begun, and the next volume would center around fighting the Grimm and Cinder's plans now that the conflict has begun. It became anti-climatic since it was a simple matter of have girl-with-chaingun mow down the Grimm and have teacher stride through the city casually fixing gigantic holes in the ground.
